Slam has evolved so much in the time I’ve been a fan. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall and eventual amalgamation and borderline acceptance of Deathcore. I’ve seen Slam go from a silly little genre into a worldwide household Metal… Continue Reading →
Ancient civilisations are totally cool, and of course very Metal. In fact quite a lot of history is pretty Metal. So it makes sense for bands to latch onto it and use it for songwriting. Just look at Nile, stupidly… Continue Reading →
Wine apparently gets better with age, I wouldn’t know because I normally don’t drink wine that costs more than £7 but that’s what they say. So, does Metal get better with age? For the most part I’m going to say… Continue Reading →

Despite the fact that I go on about how open minded I’ve become with music and my recent misdemeanours in the falser tones of Metal I still crave what is true. Of course the true/ false debate is an ever… Continue Reading →
The Asian world is no stranger to brutality, Vomit Remnants, Butcher ABC, Wormrot, Glossectomy, Gorevent, Blunt Force Trauma the list goes on. Quite frankly if you want big Slams and ferocious speed then look no further. The continent is rife… Continue Reading →
