These guys string the rotting skin of New Orleans' dark, mean underbelly onto the skeletal framework of early death and black metal — imagine HELLHAMMER if they could play their...

Another salvo fired from the most fundamentalist, stalwart fringe of the U.S. death metal underground, where hardcore influences are still frowned upon, vocals are guttural, riffs and blasts are rapid-fire, and DEEDS OF FLESH and DYING FETUS are the twin grails to which legions of DIY merch mavens a...

Kiss of Death

At 61 years old, Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister isn't about to go out of his way to win over those few, pathetic, soulless bints who don't like MOTÖRHEAD. The band has a well-worn groove, and they've settled into it, releasing a string of albums over the last decade so consistent, it's easy to forget someti...

Unfortunately, it only happens for the first few seconds, but the heavy synths laid atop crushing start-stop rhythms lay the groundwork for a surprisingly solid and very satisfying de...
