2020 musically has a very good start. The first thing offered from ’20 was made of sheer dark delights hailing from the US of fuckin’ A. And it would be a shame not to indulge you with a review of this dark, eerie gem. In this case it concerns Vaeok‘s self-titled EP and debut. The […]

Vitriol-To Bathe from the Throat of Cowardice
Vitriol. The name itself could be an appropriate descriptor for the inhumane aura that the band so eloquently (or not so eloquently) produces. Bursting on the scene in 2017 with their debut EP “Pain Will Define Their Death” On Everlasting Spew Records, Portland Oregon’s (US) Vitriol has been generating some major waves in the death […]
Life Of Agony – A Place Where There’s No More Pain
Brooklyn metal band Life Of Again are back with their first new studio album in 12 years. A Place Where There’s No More Pain is the follow up of Broken Valley (2005) after which a turbulent era started for the band and especially for vocalist Mina Caputo, who came out as a transgender in the […]
Bloody Hammers – Lovely Sort of Death
Bloody Hammers are a fantastic little duo, hailing from North Carolina, USA. I got to know them through their self-titled debut album from 2012, which was a fantastic release that managed to combine their own mixture of Hard Rock, Stoner and Doom, into one big unsophisticated yet great experience. Since then, a ton of weed […]
Chelsea Grin – Ashes to Ashes
“Ashes to Ashes” is the latest release by Utah death core band Chelsea Grin. Oh how I love these sub genres. Wait, scratch that, we are just going to say they are metal. This record is the bands third full-length and it is a very diverse brutal metal soundtrack. The band entered the studio in […]

Emmure – Eternal Enemies
Eternal Enemies is the latest release by metalcore band Emmure. An extremely heavy album from a unique band that tries to stay away from the cookie cutter, mass produced garbage of the mainstream music scene. This is the follow up to the 2012 Album “Slave to the Game” and it is sure to please fans […]
Demon Hunter – Extremist
Extremist is the highly anticipated release by Seattle metal veterans Demon Hunter. “Extremist” is the bands 7th studio album and continues to show loyal fans that the band has so much more in them. Demon Hunter continues to re-invent themselves and the sound that they create, ignoring the critics and those that try to make […]
Periphery – Clear
Clear is the latest release by Washington D.C based metal band Periphery. This EP features a ground breaking concept that I think is genius. Each of the group’s six members wrote their own song from composition to production. This concept gives the album diversity that provides a high-quality soundtrack for listeners that appreciate music.. Read […]
Iced Earth – Plagues of Babylon
Plagues of Babylon is the latest release by the metal powerhouse Iced Earth. This is the latest release of the band since their 2011 release “Dystopia” which received mixed reviews. The band stays true to their metal roots they have set forth that have stood as a staple in the genre since 1990. They also […]
