Review: The Sword – Warp Riders (2010)
The Sword, along with a few other players, are largely responsible for bringing the stoner riffs to the forefront of metal. Many elitists panned them as being coattail riders, or posers who went from indie to stoner metal in a blink of an eye. Truth be told, The Sword were merely in the right place [...]
Review: The Body – All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood (2010)
Man, some bands are really out there to trip you into a complete mind-fuck! All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood really screws with you on every track too! Sometimes when listening to an album, I like to go by the first impression I get from the 1st track, and I was completely [...]
Review: Twilight – Monument to Time End (2010)
I find it mildly amusing that while many metal indie labels are constantly scrambling to find the next best niche in metal in order to sell as many units as possible, labels like Southern Lord are all about the methodical, gritty metal, and I don’t think that formula has changed for them one iota over [...]
Review: Danzig – Deth Red Sabaoth (2010)
I get it. I get why people have liked Danzig after all these years. Songs like “Mother,” “Twist of Cain” and “Left Hand Black” are all very affective songs, with each of them exuding a dark atmosphere that few bands at that time were equaling. Hell, after years of putting out material, Glenn opted to [...]
Review: Year Of No Light – Ausserwelt (2010)
Instrumentals can be a nice reprieve from some of the shit you listen to. It’s even a reprieve from the good stuff as well, because you simply don’t have to listen that hard for the lyrics to come, and you don’t become distracted from where some of the real talent in most bands really lies…In [...]
Review: Bitter Frost – Bitter Frost (2010)
There’s nothing quite like melodic black metal to get your ass out of one hell of a funk with music! I’ve been in a super slow-motion nose-dive when it came to picking out some tunes to listen to this week. I couldn’t find anything in my playlist that I wanted to whip my head to, [...]
Kings Destroy to Release 7 Inch in May
Brooklyn’s new hybrid of stoner rock, doom, and hardcore, Kings Destroy, has announced that they are ready to unleash their debut two-song 7-inch next month, on May 25th. The 7-inch will be available for purchase through the band’s webstore, and digital download through iTunes. The two songs, “Old Yeller” and “Medusa”, were recorded by Mike [...]
Review: Abscess – Dawn of Inhumanity (2010)
I wasn’t a fan of Abscess’ 2007 Horrorhammer and 2010’s Dawn of Inhumanity isn’t much better. Abscess attempts to seamlessly combine crustcore hardcore punk with blackened death metal that reaks of an uber kult black metal band, complete with fisher price recording equipment and all, attempting to play oldschool hardcore punk. While this idea is [...]
Review: Barren Earth – Curse of the Red River (2010)
Barren Earth is the superstar band that no one has been talking about. Containing former/current members of Amorphis, Chaosbreed, Swallow the Sun, Moonsorrow, the debut record Curse of the Red River is set to debut at the end of March, and really, after listening to this thing, it should be on everyone’s priority list because [...]

Earth have joined up with label mates Wolves in the Throne Room for a week-and-a-half long West Coast tour for this April. The string of dates will also include opening support from instrumentalist Cello performer Lori Goldston, who will also be part of Earth’s live lineup for the tour.
Earth have been finalizing material for their [...]
