Postcore, postrock, postman, postcrete. What is all this post stuff? It is one genre prefix (should that be post fix?) that I don’t get. Post Core is how Memories of A Deadman are described . Not to be confused with Theory… Continue Reading →
This is the third album from French deathcore crew Deep in Hate, and my first taste of their sound. Forming in 2004, they apparently started out as a straight up death metal band with grind influences, before the call of… Continue Reading →
Hailing from St Petersburg Russia Tartharia have been active over the last decade plus and released somewhere in the region of 9 CD’s, a DVD and have played over 200 shows. If like me they are not a band you… Continue Reading →
You have to admire the ambition in a project like Aeons Confer: with almost 80 minutes of fast, melodic and heavy metal (or ‘dark’ metal, as the band prefers) and six big hairy blokes from Hamburg involved – it’s a… Continue Reading →
Japanese electrometallers Baal already have a couple of EPs out and have done a stint in the USA and this debut sees the bands aggro infested electro mechanized ear battering hitting the world. “Shurado” which means “Scent Of Carnage” showcases… Continue Reading →

What are the chances of that? No good metal gig around this neck of the woods for months and then two within days of each other: first Down, now Fear Factory. Although FF’s height of popularity was quite a while… Continue Reading →
This German quartet is definitely melodic metal, and while I tend to listen to a fair share of melodic death metal this stuff is different, though not a million miles away. I guess the primary difference has to be the… Continue Reading →
When this arrived I was somewhat entranced by all the cover art which suggests something from space plummeting to earth. It was especially profound as we were getting reports of meteor showers lighting up the skies and I was starting… Continue Reading →
To much fanfare comes “God is an Automaton”. This is Sybreed’s fourth album. With influences such as Fear Factory, Meshuggah, In Flames and Depeche Mode, their brand of music is termed “death wave”, which amounts to a mix of extreme… Continue Reading →
