So it is done, another year and another round up about what has really made its mark with the music we love in 2013. This is everyone’s most difficult task of the year and it seems that this one… Continue Reading →
You know the difference between an electric shaver and a 50p packet of 10 disposable razors from Aldi? One has millions of dollars of R&D ploughed into it, designed to be the ‘ultimate shaving experience’, is supremely comfortable and won’t… Continue Reading →
I doubt that any self respecting metaller that follows the scene within the UK hasn’t at least witnessed a live show by these purist heavy metal purveyors, or know that they tragically lost founding member Jay-Jay Winter in a road… Continue Reading →
Croatian band Gothaurs Wrath are accredited as a black metal band. Having listened to their second full album “War for Heaven”, I’d suggest that they’ve moved on considerably from this description. Words I would use to describe this album are… Continue Reading →

Having originally been self released earlier in the year, Hells Headbangers has picked up this collection of recordings known as the Yellowgoat Sessions for wider distribution. Joel Grind will be familiar to most for his work with Toxic Holocaust (a… Continue Reading →
I’m not sure how, but I’ve somehow managed avoiding hearing, or for that matter, hearing of ASG, a North Carolina four piece that has been going since 2001. My surprise is based to a good extent on their CV which… Continue Reading →
