Assassins in the House of God

Four years of silence from the ALL OUT WAR camp, as frontman Mike Score focused on his day job as a high school history teacher, has done little to diminish the fire of anger and bitterness at this New York crossover band's core. While the metal/hardcore scene they helped found has spawned countless...

Marasmus

Some time after the grindcore spewing fun of LENG TCH'E's Relapse Records debut, "The Process of Elimination", the Belgian quintet lost its edge. After the aptly described razor grind of that album with its off-the-rails craziness and the dashes of tough, southern-tinged grooves, it is a disappointm...

Black Elk

The self-titled debut from Portland, Oregon's BLACK ELK is one of those albums that seeps into the pores and wreaks havoc with the nervous system.

Smear Campaign

Somehow, the phrase "on a roll" seems wholly inadequate to describe the phenomenon of NAPALM DEATH's years-old post-Earache renaissance. It's more like a fucking avalanche. For a bunch of guys getting acquainted with their late thirties and forties (that's, like, 104 in grindcore years),they've nev...

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...

Mirrors

I have a vague recollection of a review I wrote for MISERY SIGNALS' debut "Of Malice and the Magnum Heart" in which I basically stated that it was not an enjoyable effort nor was it an impressive one. The memory was unpleasant enough to almost result in my avoidance of a review of the group's ...
