Nominative determinism is not only a bastard to spell (two spellchecks and counting), but when the name of the band you’re attempting to unpick and make sense of is called Skumstrike (they must be fans of the previously excellent but… Continue Reading →
Comprised of Iggor Cavalera (ex-Cavalera Conspiracy, ex-Sepultura), Scott Kelly of Neurosis and Amenra’s Mathieu J. Vandekerckhove and Colin H. Van Eeckhout, Absent in Body is something of a post metal supergroup. Their debut album, Plague God, was recorded at Amenra… Continue Reading →
Fairy tale may be going a little too far but the journey of Bloodywood would make an awesome film. There is already a documentary “Raj Against the Machine” which you can watch on YouTube which depicts the bands story up to their… Continue Reading →

Athenian 4-piece Rapture have been throwing riffs since 2012 and with two full length albums, two EP’s and a split with Toxic Carnage under their belts, the thrash-death outfit are back with album #3: Malevolent Demise Incarnation. With a sound… Continue Reading →
