Two Things: Neat Skyrim Theme Cover and Darkest Hour Bashing Parisians Over The Head
So Skyrim is supposed to the most epic fantasy game of all time and in concept is pretty damn metal. Still, it’s the geeky fantasy/folk/power metal variety whereas I identify more with the beer drinking, good-for-nothing thrash/black variety. Not that … Read the rest of this entry →
Insain: Your Gateway to Brutal Death?
Since I’ll be hitting you with a variety of brutal death metal throughout the week I thought it might be a descent idea to ease our less than brutal compatriots into it. A bit of a relief from the typical … Read the rest of this entry →
If You Cover Dissection and Do it Well, I’ll Post About Your Band.
Astral Winter are well-known friends of the program here at ShredderNet and our Tasmanian friends have done gone and covered one of the most bestest Dissection tunes. Though no mortal man can come close to the brilliance of Storm of … Read the rest of this entry →
Tuesday Time Machine: Dark Angel Circa 1986
When it comes to thrash metal, there is a canyon of difference between the polished mainstream technicality of the bay area scene, the proto-extreme metal of Teutonic Thrash (Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, etc) and the brief glimmer of American bands like … Read the rest of this entry →
As I Lay Dying – Decas
Life is great when you’re ten. You can basically do whatever you want with minimal repercussions. Pee in a pool… fight a nine year old… no big deal. This seems to be the approach taken on the new As I Lay … Read the rest of this entry →
I stand in front of a tank
Tech death band Trigger the Bloodshed delivers a full frontal assault from beginning to end in their third release Degenerate. I’ll be the first to admit that I wasn’t a fan of the first two albums. Actually, I can’t say … Read the rest of this entry →
Funeral Age: Thy Martyrdom Come
There are some pretty decedent death metal or death inclusive bands coming out of Seattle, including a few that have merited record deals and wider distribution. For my hard earned cash, however, there are few that play stuff irreverently evil … Read the rest of this entry →
Vildhjarta: Måsstaden
This is so goddamn djenty it’s almost not metal. In fact according to some, it’s not. But, damn it, I like it. There is nothing resembling a melody or even scaling for about the first four tracks. There is no … Read the rest of this entry →
Black Friday: A Flame From Finland
Ah darkness has fallen on the netherworld of North Seattle once again. As promised to commemorate this wonderous hedonistic celebration of consumerist gluttony, here be another Black Friday post. Well, hmmm. Let me channel my Nathaniel Hawthorne for a second. … Read the rest of this entry →
Weekend War Cry: Motley Crue – Wildside
As you may know, we are big on fun around here. Posts about depressive BM, funeral doom or anything that even has a hint of screamo are few and far between. Just for kicks, we’re gonna start bringing you a … Read the rest of this entry →
No Stage Diving: Obscura, Abysmal Dawn at Studio 7
Se here we are again. Obscura is a band I’ve always wanted to see in person despite rarely spinning their records. This was a pretty lowkey night for me and Pete so we only had a couple beers and shots. … Read the rest of this entry →
Black Friday: Throwin’ It Back To Nargaroth
Ah, Nargaroth, the epic riffing! The furious drumming! The strange and major roots of later career compositions! This album came up on my shuffle the other day and I couldn’t resist revisiting it. Whatever they (he) have done, the band … Read the rest of this entry →
My World Torn Asunder
Better have a first aid kit handy before breaking this one out, boys and girls. Though Vektor still takes the cake with its brainy, spacey take on thrash metal and the attitude of bands like Gama Bomb may be more … Read the rest of this entry →
Give Thanks as You Throw The Goat
On the eve of thanksgiving, it only seems appropriate that I find something to give thanks for. Hmmm. I’m thankful for my health, my freedom and the pursuit of happiness? BORING. How about booze, sex and rock and roll, something … Read the rest of this entry →

Tuesday Time Machine: Germany’s Assassin Circa 1986
It’s only proper that since we’re on a bit of a retro thrash tear lately we feature this gem of an album I discovered in the bowels of the internet when I was 16 (about 15 years after its release). … Read the rest of this entry →
Sweden’s Crazy Lixx
Just wanted to briefly share a band that’s been heavily in my “fun” rotation for the past few months. If you can’t appreciate this band on any level, we aren’t friends. Maybe its just a kneejerk reaction to the self-concious … Read the rest of this entry →
Vektor: Outer Isolation
Vektor‘s third full-length effort Outer Isolation is one of those records you know is going to rule about halfway through the first song. This band is so much more than the Voivod worship that their album covers, logo and lyrical … Read the rest of this entry →
The Ingenuity of France’s Hacride
Welp, it’s new to me. I’ve been trying to get more into this progy djenty djent stuff but have always wondered why we need other bands playing this kind of stuff if Meshuggah was pretty much enough. Plus, as I’ve … Read the rest of this entry →
Black Friday: A One Woman Project From Turkey
How could I resist featuring this gal? Ilkim Oulanem is/was a one woman black metal project from a majority Muslim nation. Not something you find in every black metal basement. Truthfully, I was a bit lukewarm towards most of her … Read the rest of this entry →
