• Hate Eternal “Conquering The Throne”

  More or less everyone has heard about this band by now and they’ve been getting rave reviews since the album came out, although that shouldn’t say much as far as anyone with half a brain would be concerned. Despite everyone else’s acclaim, however, I too am impressed with the material Erik Rutan and Doug [...]

• Dødheimsgard “Satanic Art”

  Every so often, you come across something which you freak over and listen to incessantly. In today’s extremely sub-standard, over-crowded and stale state, Dødheimsgard has accomplished such a release. Then again, this material was recorded 2-3 years ago. It is so refreshing to hear this now - this is theonly black metal [...]

• Dementor “The Art Of Blasphemy”

  FUCK. I don’t find it too easy to listen to this album. It’s so fucking brutal, I had to buy some Cannibal Corpse sweatshorts to wear while listening to it (my Sepultura Arise ones didn’t cut it). I tried flexing in the mirror alongside my picture of Steve Austin as well, but [...]

• Vital Remains “Dawn Of The Apocalypse”

  Due to the status Vital Remains achieved after the brilliant Forever Underground album, this became one of the more anticipated death metal releases of the year. They return with their Altars-Of-Madness-ish riffing (the beginning of "Behold The Throne Of Chaos" = "CHAPEL OF GHOULS"), acoustic solos and keyboard pieces, along with addition of a new [...]

• Vintersorg “Ödemarkens Son”

  Upon initial reaction, this is the type of album any upstanding human being with some self-respect might shoot him/herself for liking. Vintersorg merges folk with a heavy power metal sound, guitar heroics and lots of melody abound, and if you dare to stick around, there’s some silliness in the ground… (but if I am [...]

• Various Artists “Thrashing Holocaust”

  A long time in the making and a noble effort to proudly commemorate modern bands with an old-school sound, Necropolis’ Thrashing Holocaust has one of the best titles for a CD ever, and I’m not just saying that because those two words have been largely in use by myself for several years. Actually this [...]

• Tristania “Beyond The Veil”

  The key (for me personally) to a good start in writing a successful CD review is to write down what literally comes to mind immediately when listening. Obviously not a hard concept on the surface. I happen to take this principle to extremes and make my little social commentaries because that’s exactly what [...]

• Trelldom “Til Et Annet”

  This is an incredible album. Awesome beats and a fantastic drum sound put together with a tight, clear guitar tone, playing simple, dark, melodic, straightforward old-school black metal, classical influence and all (NO keyboards). I want to say it’s a more melodic and melancholic version of Gorgoroth, yet still violent at times… whereas [...]

• Thy Infernal “Satan’s Wrath”

  U.S. black metal with a clue!? Here’s a step in the right direction. Upon first listen, if you know nothing of this band previously, it’s highly likely you’d guess they were standard Swedish black metal. This isn’t meant to serve as a compliment, truly I don’t care where a band is from [...]

• Thorns & Emperor “Thorns vs Emperor”

  Disc One: I bought this primarily for the demo CD (rehearsal material from ‘89-91). I’ve been trying to get a copy of these for a long time, and I’m thankful it’s finally available. This is going to remain my main focus for the review. The demo CD is included as the 2nd of a [...]
