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...

Bestial

Let's begin by giving thanks to the fine people at At a Loss Recordings for continuing to dredge up some of the angriest, angular, and utterly mind-fucking sonic trample in the universe. The trend ain't dead either. Now comes a two-man project called BLACK COBRA that fills every nook and cranny with...

Their debut, "Thunderstorm" (released after the group won some Noise Records battle of the bands contest),was a laughably generic exercise in power metal with particularly anemic and reedy vocals from Ma...
