Glacial Tomb – Lightless Expanse (Prosthetic Records)

“Glacial Tomb” conjures up dark, dankness partnered with slow moving vastness on a millennial scale. Now this is true of the Denver band on their second full length release. However, the ice mountain is not so lazy in its progress…. Continue Reading →

Interview – Dee Calhoun aka Screaming Mad Dee

Dee Calhoun, or “Screaming Mad Dee” as he is also known, is a man who has been in the business of producing dark and heavy music for many years.  Whilst he had been in many bands before, for me he… Continue Reading →

Agrypnie – Erg (AOP Records)

This German act came across my radar more or less at the same time that I discovered compatriots Imperium Dekadenz in 2010 when both bands released their third albums. There was something very special and epic about both bands that… Continue Reading →

Zetra – Zetra (Nuclear Blast)

Throughout the many years I’ve associated with the metal scene, I often notice what side-genres become most popular among both artists and revellers alike. For a long time last decade it was synthwave that dominated the upper echelons of genres… Continue Reading →

This is the sixth album by the Texan quintet and their first on Season of Mist. Gone are Mat V. Aleman, Jessie Santos, and Alexander Lucian, replaced by Alex Davis on guitar and Chris Kritikos on guitar and synth, with… Continue Reading →

The Jesus Lizard – Rack (Ipecac)

When the New York Times deems it news-worthy to write about your upcoming album, I think it’s safe to say that you’ve established yourself as a band. Once part of the subversive underground, the Jesus Lizard are now part of… Continue Reading →
