YOU GUYS SHOULD ALL STREAM THE NEW LICH KING

It’s been slow around the space station lately as the staff has been distracted by old friends in town, seemingly bottomless metal containers full of delicious adult beverages and really cool clouds. There are a few things in the pipleline … Read the rest of this entry →

THIS WEEK IN FUCKYEAHJEFFLOOMIS: BROING DOWN WITH KEITH MERROW

Seems Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow, of Portland based death metal bros Demisery, decided to get together to bro and jam on a tune, itself invariably called “bro”, and post the thing on BroTube. The result of the riffage and shreddage … Read the rest of this entry →

THOSE SMELLY BOHEMIANS IN THE SWORD HAVE A NEW SONG

If weekend be cereal for a second, I have to admit that I can’t stop liking this band despite their semi-ironic indulgence in the stoner rock aesthetic. Yes, their riffs aren’t groundbreaking but the vocal lines are smoother than cruising the galaxy on the Millenium … Read the rest of this entry →

MORE VISUAL HYPE FOR NERGAL’S BOOK

As I noted last week, nobody expects the autobiography of Adam “Nergal” Darksi to be a nod to CS Lewis but his rebellious worldview does leave a lot to be desired. After the jump you’ll find two more trailers for … Read the rest of this entry →

TUESDAY TIME MACHINE: DIO – LOCK UP THE WOLVES (1990)

Fans of 80s metal know what it’s like not to be taken seriously. Perhaps through a fault that is by and large theirs, it’s assumed by outsiders that outrageous lyrics and album covers somehow strip music of any artistic conviction or capacity for … Read the rest of this entry →

OH MAN THIS NEW ANAAL NATHRAKH THO

It wouldn’t be hard to regurgitate about half the contents of Webster’s dictionary telling ya’ll how incredible and revolutionary Anaal Nathrakh is. I’ve also got a few name-drops already in mind to help describe just how this band reinvents extreme music … Read the rest of this entry →

NEW PROG STUFFS: VOYAGER VIDEO, ENSLAVED LYRIC VIDEO

Alright, proggers, here are a couple of treats for you. The above lyric video from Enslaved is pretty run of the mill lyrics on screen spliced with pictures of the band looking all contemplative in various forests (or really overgrown … Read the rest of this entry →

MORE MUSIC FROM BISON BC’S UPCOMING LP

Brooklyn Vegan is streaming another new tune from Bison BC upcoming release. It’s another drifter of a song that may not be for everybody but hits its stride nicely about halfway through. The new materials seems to be getting mixed … Read the rest of this entry →

REVOCATION HAS NEW SHREDDAGE

Not only do Revocation write some of punchiest riffs around but their previously mehtacular core inspired vocals seem to be getting better with each release. Chaos of Forms was spectacular for a modern thrash release and, now it seems, David … Read the rest of this entry →

WATCH THIS LIVE VID FROM HACRIDE

They might not be Gojira but in terms of the groovy prog vein but these fellow Frenchman impress me every time throw on one of their records, which isn’t often enough. Seems like they put on a pretty killer show as well. … Read the rest of this entry →

BLACK FRIDAY: NEGATIVE PLANE

As all chronically unsatisfied music listeners, I’m always on the look out for something that challenges common sentiments about metal’s more rigid subgenres. None are more ideologically conservative than black metal and, though hipsters get rightfully chased back to their post-rock hives … Read the rest of this entry →

HEY THESE SKINEATER SONGS ARE FRIGGIN COOL

The people at Pulverized Records seem to know their death metal. Just a few months ago they put out one of the best retro death metal bands on the market, Spain’s Graveyard, only to have the band fall into relative … Read the rest of this entry →

KHORS: WISDOM OF CENTURIES

A few years ago a friend turned me onto Khors, a band that was quickly gaining attention with their 2010 effort, Return to Abandoned. Their uniquely Ukrainian style of melodic/atmospheric pagan black metal infused with just the right amount of … Read the rest of this entry →

OH HELLS YEAH NEW DEFTONES SONG FO FREE

After waking from the teenage slumber of musical ignorance, it seemed necessary to face facts. I would often put any mix of rap and metal, along with the Orwellian truth inversion of contemporary politics, in that basket labelled “premonitions of the … Read the rest of this entry →

TUESDAY TIME MACHINE: ANNIHILATOR – NEVER, NEVERLAND (1990)

In the world of often overlooked thrash bands, it would infair to file Canada’s Annihilator under the “unlucky” tab.  Aside from the band’s ever revolving lineup and allegedly mercurial personality dynamics, they simply fell short in the vocal department far … Read the rest of this entry →

EX DEO: CALIGVLA

What does it sound like when Kataklysm decide they want to play Roman-themed symphonic death instead of their usual bludgeoning? Thanks to the larger than life historical themes and modest orchestration, it’s even more massive and emphatic, if you can believe that. … Read the rest of this entry →

BISON BC IS STILL BISON BC

Ok, I slept on this one but honestly, like many, I’m at a bit of a crisis with this band. Bison BC is a hell of a lot of noisy fun in person and I had a long honeymoon with … Read the rest of this entry →
