Texas is a definite hub for some huge Brutal Death Metal talent, Devourment and Viral Load particularly spring to mind. However, we can always do with some fresh faces on the scene and this time we’re talking about Texas Murder… Continue Reading →
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 →
I’m known to some as the Slam King, probably for some good reason too, I love Slam. That said I can’t say it excites me like it used to, for a new Slam band to really hit me they have… Continue Reading →
