A new band but some recognisable old hands here, turning over the soil and growing new things. Formed by Atheist vocalist Kelly Shaefer and including a couple of band members from the Floridian heavyweights along with players from acts such… Continue Reading →
Isn’t it funny how when someone not into metal asks what music you’re into and you just say ‘metal’ (OK I usually say ‘loud and ‘orrible’), but if a metalhead asks you go into subgenres? I mean I like traditional… Continue Reading →
The band name wasn’t familiar to me but I could see that Besta have been pumping out death-grindcore for more than 10 years and that this is their fourth album release. I can also see that three of the members… Continue Reading →
Third album from a bunch of Chicago thrashers, apparently. Not having heard of them previously, I kind of take that on faith as I hit play and ‘The Howling Dead’ scampers out of the gate. It’s a nifty little opening… Continue Reading →

The offer here is straightforward: relentless thrash metal. The Canadians are now releasing their 3rd album in their 11 years of existence, add another 10 in their previous guise as Skull Hammer. The race is on. It’s hard, fast, unyielding… Continue Reading →
