Review: Dew-Scented – Invocation (2010)
Dew-Scented is one of those bands that simply doesn’t change over the years. I always laugh when reviewers and fans make some sort of bold assertion when listening to a new Dew-Scented album, that it is their “best in years” or “worst in years.” Really? Sure there are songs that are obviously better than others, [...]
Review: K626 – The Gates of Necropolis (2010)
California’s K626 meld the power and fury of death and traditional thrash with the modern twist of groove. The Gates of Necropolis, the band’s third album, is a well rehearsed and tight record with few faults, however, there isn’t much originality to be had. Despite being good at what they do, it’s clear that K626 [...]
Review: Vektor – Black Future (2009)
Bottom line, Vektor is not like any other thrash band America has to offer today. Despite having a logo that is a slight rip off Voivod’s classic, these guys wail on their latest Black Future, which combines the speed and ferocity of Wehrmacht with the monotone trudging of Teutonic Thrash. Black Future offers so much [...]
Review: Vomitor – Devils Poison (2010)
Vomitor is a loud death / thrash metal band, and I fucking love it! So chaotic, so raw, and such a force to be reckoned with, Vomitor bleeds death metal. The band puts their foot on the gas pedal, and seems to continuously accelerate throughout their latest offering, Devils Poison, released via our friends at [...]
New Artist Watch: European Thrash Edition!
Awhile ago I was introduced to several upcoming thrash acts coming out of various locations in Europe. With all the attention that many of the new English thrash bands are getting, I figured I’d pass some attention to more of Europe’s up and comers, and really, every single one of these bands has an original [...]
The Best Ska Thrash Prog Inspired Deathgrind Act On the Planet!
Yes folks, they may be the ONLY band of their kind in the world, but Gloominous Doom do what they do…ummm, better than anyone else. Ska in metal? Who woulda thunked it, but it’s possible, and these boys from Pennsylvania are living breathing recording examples of that. Perhaps ironically, upon listening to their sophomore effort, [...]
Review: Black Breath – Heavy Breathing (2010)
A few years back, I heard my first Crossover band (Municipal Waste), and have been looking for other bands that partake in the Crossover revolution like they do, but I really haven’t come across many. Recently, I received some material from a band that has not the same sound [as Municipal Waste], but something similar, [...]
Review: Rusted Dawn – The Black Tides of War (2010)
What is it about unrestrained thrash metal that makes people want to punch their neighbors in the face? I’m not joking…I’m serious. I really want to look over at the guy next to me and “look, I know you didn’t do anything to me, but this thrash metal makes me want to punch you in [...]
Review: Landmine Marathon – Sovereign Descent (2010)
I have a thing for Thrash metal, and am now growing a love for some good Death metal as well, as my brain progresses down the winding road to Metal Dreamworld. It seems that a love for this music is instilled in my blood. I require it on a daily basis to keep my metal [...]
New Artist Watch: Winterburn
Fusing the feel of old school Pro Pain and M.O.D. metalcore with the riffage of classic New York style thrash, these boys from Wales have constructed a winning formula. Having released a new 3 song EP this past December, Winterburn remind me of the first time I heard Evile’s All Hallows Eve in the sense [...]
