Wiener Neustadt, Austria’s newcomers, Emily’s Bleeding, have subscribed to a true shmorgishborg approach to compete in the ultra polished world of metalcore. There is no one band out there that can be nailed down as a pure inspiration, nor are they a carbon copy of just any one act. They pull from many places, taking a little piece of this inspirat...

Bordeaux, France’s young (as in age of the band and not the age of it’s members) but stellar outfit, The Great Old Ones, claim to be what is being called post-black metal these days, a term that has definitely been thrown around loosely at bands a lot as of late. In most of the cases it almost seems as if the post part is just haphazardly added to...

Germany’s Graveyard Ghoul are an unrefined grave stone marker in a cemetery full of gaudy elaborate, polished monuments. Starting out only three short years ago in 2011, these Lower Saxony gents like it dark, evil and covered in filth and have not strayed from that moss covered murky path through it all. From their mud cacked demo, "Necrocult", to...

The year is 1991 and coming out of Florida’s death metal hot bed you have killer albums like Cannibal Corpse’s "Butchered At Birth", Morbid Angel’s "Blessed Are The Sick" and Death’s "Human", and just the year before you had the impressive albums like Obituary’s "Cause Of Death", Deicide’s "Deicide", Death’s "Spiritual Healing" and Cannibal Corpse’...

Thanks to modern technological advances over the last decade or so the idea and actuality of one man bands has exploded to the point of absolutely absurdity. The sheer amount of one man bands has grown to an insanely astronomical number, one that only the most super of super computers can truly compute. Sadly, the number of good loner acts is nowhe...

It’s been fourteen long years since their last full length album, Confederacy of Ruined Lives, and in between then and now you will find that the members of Eyehategod have been rather busy. With their numerous high profile side projects (Down, Soilent Green, Corrections House, Outlaw Order and Superjoint Ritual to name a few), a well publicized st...

Expulsion’s “Certain Corpses Never Decay” is a brand new compilation album that culminates this band’s legendary first act all into one package. Expulsion was a band that had two very distinct acts, there was the phase that once signed went for a more, unsuccessful, mainstream style and then there was also their more raw death metal oriented side w...

Belgium’s own little known (unfortunately) all-star group, Wijlen Wij, are apparently riding the, not new, but continuing trend of incorporating psychedelic prog rock into their metal mix with their newest, and second, full length album, "Coronachs Of The Ω". Wijlen Wij, Flemish for We, Deceased, are a atmospheric funeral doom band at heart but lav...
