Primordial is a band that just don't die or surrender. One listen to new album "Redemption at the Puritan's Hand" is proof of that never surrender attitude. Raised in the cold oppressive and depressive evirons of Ireland. AA raised on Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and the soon to be retired Judas Priest, Primordial mixes these influences of three masters and modified it...

After many years of listening to death/thrash and black metal, I wasn't really ready to embrace the folk metal scene. When it first exploded on the scene when I heard Fintroll and many of their irk, I wasn't impressed. It sounded like polka metal. When I heard bands like Arkona that's when I started to open my mind a little more. Thanks...

Liv Kristine is no stranger to the goth metal scene, in the mid nineties she first applied her trade with Theatre Of Tradegy. What really got her name known in the U.S. and beyond Europe was her vocal duet with Cradle Of Filth on "Nyphomethane". To me, in my own opinion, if it wasn't for that song I wouldn't known about her...

What I like about Hellheadbangers Records is you always find new brutal diamonds in the rough. Toxic Halocaust also got their start on Hells Headbangers before signing to Relapse. Another band that's on Hells Headbangers worth checking out is Greece's Ravencult. Greece been known to produce and breed great bands like Rotting Christ, Speticflesh and Burial Horde. Recently released their current effort...
