Wounded Skies

This one has been out for quite a while now, but was sent my way only recently. It's worth the cyber ink, so we'll knock it out regardless. With "Wounded Skies" Italy's STORMCROW slams through four songs and one intro of unforgiving black metal malice that will appeal to fans of speeding traditional...

Lifeless Design

You know how a few records into a band's career, you'll read an article about them and it'll talk about their early years in a dismissive way? Sorta like this: "their first album, "Blah Blah Blah", generated some interest, but it wasn't until sophomore release "Yadda Yadda Yadda" that they really tu...

Subliminal Genocide

It seemed a tad strange to find that the new 71-minute full-length from Malefic's XASTHUR was being released on Hydra Head. That is, until one considers that the lo-fi black metal atmospheres and dread-drenched trance of "Subliminal Genocide" is the kind of expansive, heady, and off-the-beaten path...

Accept Death

I'll put Northeast Ohio's heavy music collective against any region in the world when it comes to churning out raggedy hate metal and sludge punishment that is from the heart and convincingly soul-burning. It is a fact of which England's Retribute Records is keenly aware, making it no surprise that...
