  • Ephel Duath Write New Album From A Dog’s Perspective

    I can’t make this shit up. Blabbermouth reports that Italy’s Ephel Duath have written their latest album with lyrics from the perspective of a dog. I’m not kidding. Italian avant-garde metallers EPHEL DUATH will release their fourth studio album, Through My Dog’s Eyes, on January 26, 2009 through Earache Records. EPHEL DUATH has never been [...]

  • The Firstborn “The Unclenching Of Fists”

    Portugal’s The Firstborn is a band who I’d never heard of prior to receiving a promotional copy of their The Unclenching Of Fists album in the mail. Having never heard of the band, and reading through their bio and finding the album is a "conceptual" release dealing with "Tantric Buddhism" based on the Tibetan [...]

  • Sigh “Scenario IV: Dead Dreams”

    One of the last great modern heavy metal bands left standing, the masters of storytelling return with their fifth effort to reach inside and take your mind on a tour through the vast landscapes of their imaginations. For those uninformed, Sigh is a group of three rightfully termed musicians who benefit from a range [...]

  • Sigh “Hangman’s Hymn”

    Now this is more like it. On Sigh’s last album, the Japanese lunatics took a deviation from their signature extreme take on avant garde metal with a decidedly clean vocal tribute to traditional metal and prog rock keyboard experimentation. While the album was as solid as anything you’d expect from Sigh, it was by no [...]

  • Sigh “Gallows Gallery”

    Sigh- possibly one of the most bizarre acts in metal today, topped only by !T.O.O.H.! and Cephalic Carnage. This avant-garde Japanese metal act got their start releasing old school thrashy black metal back on Euronymous’ DSP label and then did a complete about-face, not unlike infamous post-black metal madmen Ulver, and started experimenting with everything [...]

  • Lux Occulta “The Mother And The Enemy”

    Lately, avant garde extreme metal has been making a noticeable presence. Of course originating out of black metal you have Arcturus and Sigh, both waving around metal conventions like mere play things of children and- for the most part- creating damn great albums with them. Then you have the more recent antics of Unexpect and [...]

  • Ephel Duath “Pain Necessary To Know”

    When Ephel Duath first came around, they were messing around with an experimental black metal sound on their album Phormula. There was nothing really spectacular about the release, and Ephel Duath really didn’t demonstrate anything worth paying attention to. Then, for their second release, Ephel Duath went insane: the band overhauled its sound completely and [...]
