• Abigail Williams “In The Shadow Of A Thousand Suns”

  Sometimes music is like cooking: you can have all the right ingredients and follow the formula as closely as you can, but that never guarantees a tasty treat. For one, the instructions might fail to convey a specific methodology to the cooking process, the particular ingredient might not be what’s called for, or the author [...]

• Starkweather “Croatoan”

  Oh God, I’m crying with laughter here. No, no, don’t go running. Starkweather isn’t the Killswitch Engage brand of metalcore, so you needn’t worry about watered down thrash riffs with retarded breakdowns and choruses that make the prissiest gay guy look like fucking Rowdy Roddy Piper. So why am I practically crying with laughter? Because Croatoan [...]

Since said label was financially unstable Satariel put Hydra out on Cold Records, who licensed this to Regain Records. Candlelight USA in turn released Hydra for the American market. This makes four labels involved in the handling of one [...]

• Gorgoroth “Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam”

  Hey look; It’s the newest release from Norway’s semi-legendary Black Metal export Gorgoroth. Turn off the lights, put your sunglasses on, and take a long sip of wine, cause we’re in it for SATAN. Before they became a message board punchline due to vocalist Kristian Eivind "Gaahl" Espedal’s deadpan interview in the documentary "Metal: a Headgiver’s [...]
