So that's exactly what I'm doing today - below you can get an early listen to Budapest duo VANTA's new song "Invisible Parasite". The track can … Continue reading Track Premiere: “Invisible Parasite” by VANTA
Do you ever get frustrated at yourself for not enjoying something? Especially if that thing has all the markings of something you should like? Like say you finally watch that movie all your friends have been recommending and it does nothing for you. Or maybe that TV show that, despite being mentioned in the same … Continue reading Boss Keloid – Family The Smiling Thrush Review
Red Fang is back! Perhaps the undisputed kings of metal music videos, it feels like a while since we've had a new album from the boys. This is exacerbated by the fact that their last album, 2016's Only Ghosts, was sort of a dud. But given their incredible run of albums prior to that, I … Continue reading Red Fang – Arrows Review
My first full-length review in a while, I wanted to come back with a bang. So here it is, after having the promo for Epiphanic Truth’s debut album for quite some time, I can comfortably say that this album is tied for my favorite of this first part of 2021 (the other being The Armed’s … Continue reading Epiphanic Truth Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species Review

One of the albums I’m most excited for is Breaths’ Lined in Silver (out March 26th). “The Inherent Emptiness” is the third single from the upcoming album, and I have the pleasure of … Continue reading Single Premiere: “The Inherent Emptiness” by Breaths
So it looks like November 20th is the last big release day of 2020. While everyone's hard at work on their album of the year lists, there are a few notable releases still on their way for your consideration. For example, that Killer Be Killed album seems like it'll be really good, and it's always … Continue reading Unverkalt – L’Origine du Monde Review
So as we approach the end of August, I think it's safe to say that the first 8 months of 2020 have been great for doom (if nothing else). And not just your bog-standard doom metal either, the subgenre has seen a variety of great releases. Just check out new records by Lesser Glow, Elephant … Continue reading Hymn – Breach Us Review
