If ever there was a soundtrack to an extreme metal Sunday morning, then Black Autumn have it. Combining the crushing intensity of funeral doom with snail-paced atmospheric black metal, this would be the perfect way to spend a few hours… Continue Reading →
This is an undeniable tribute to old school Swedish death metal, so you have probably heard a lot of these riffs and things many times before. Unwilling Flesh is a project by multi-instrumentalist Andrew D’Cagna (Brimstone Coven, Nechochwen, Infirmary) accompanied… Continue Reading →
It’s no surprise that this debut EP from this Brazilian quartet, named after the first Gorguts album, sounds like classic (Schizophrenia / Beneath The Remains) era Sepultura. In fact the influence is worn so obviously on their sleeves that it’s… Continue Reading →
