Eric the Red

To paraphrase the great Doug Stanhope, being the biggest band on the Faroe Islands is kinda like being the prettiest waitress at a Denny's diner. With a population of less than 50,000 and an area about the size of a large city, this group of tiny isles in the Norwegian Sea is home to numerous ...

Kalas

A bruising slab of ponderous metal riffing from this San Franciscan supergroup, helmed by Matt Pike (HIGH ON FIRE, SLEEP) on vocals. The band's aesthetic is uniformly slow, plodding, dirty and dirge-y, Pike yowling quasi-tunefully over pork-fisted riffs and thudding rhythms. The effect is somewhere...

Memorial

Kudos to Portugal's MOONSPELL for creating goth with death metal propulsion that should have cross-genre appeal. You heard it on much of "The Antidote", but "Memorial" is a 59-minute gem of an album that manages to be very heavy without dispensing with that Vampire-esque gothic appeal. While I would...

Freakery

I could go on for pages explaining the aesthetic of CRETIN, and why this lo-fi pants-shitting rockslide of a grindcore smear deserves a perfect score. But it's actually explained succinctly in the band's manifesto on their website. Among their tenets: no drum triggers, leave in mistakes, don't forsa...
