  • Kelly Shaefer Issues An Update On The New Atheist Full Length

    Blabbermouth recently posted an update on the upcoming full length by progressive metallers Atheist’s upcoming full length courtesy of frontman Kelly Shaefer. “So I will be heading to [Atlanta, where ATHEIST drummer Steve Flynn is based] just after [daughter] SkyeLilly’s birthday [November 11] zipping back home for Turkey Day [Thanksgiving], and then back to the lab [...]

  • Blotted Science “The Machinations of Dementia”

    I used to think that getting your earhole raped by a Chinese silverback would be unpleasant. After my first listen to The Machinations of Dementia I came to the realization that not all technical wankery is bad. Sure, Ron Jarzombek (Watchtower and Spastic Ink) can shred for days, Alex Webster (you know) can [...]

  • Intronaut “Prehistoricisms”

    I’ve never been a fan of progressive metal, Cynic and Atheist do nothing for me and bands like Mouth Of The Architect bore the shit out of me, yet in 2006 Intronaut stood above their peers and impressed me with their debut full length offering Void. The release was an amazing combination of compelling [...]

  • Opeth “Watershed”

    Opeth’s latest full length offering, Watershed, has been released on Roadrunner Records and created quite a stir among the mainstream metal press. Reviewers are praising the album, some going so far as to call it the greatest piece of progressive metal material written to date. Having listened to the album I have only [...]

  • Misery’s Omen “Hope Dies”

    Australia has quite many kickass metal acts foaming at their collective mouths. You have Portal’s bizarre brand of obscure death metal, Stargazer’s esoteric and mystical, blackened take on technical death metal, and a grind scene that makes most countries’ scenes look like a Hannah Montana concert. Misery’s Omen is yet another band to contribute to [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • !T.O.O.H.! “Order And Punishment”

    Behold, the Czech grind scene strikes again. !T.O.O.H.! already thrilled me on their previous album Pod Vladou Bice by taking the atypical grind tradition that Czech bands are known for and merging it with amazing amounts of progressive elements, jazz-fusion, melodic technicality, and whacky, yet coherent high pitched vocals. The music sounded like an Eastern [...]

  • !T.O.O.H.! “Pod Vladou Bice”

    !T.O.O.H.! is yet another mind-baffling crazy grind act out of the Czech Republic. The disjointed name is an acronym for The Obliteration Of Humanity and the music is equally as disjointed. Imagine you cloned an army of the Marquis de Sade, threw those pompous Victorian formal wigs on them, mounted the army of de Sade [...]

  • Opeth “Still Life”

    UUUGGGHHH… yet another worthless fucking release from this rock and roll "black metal" band. I can appreciate some of the other Opeth albums because they do have feeling and emotion in them, but this album is pure bullshit. From just listening to the entire album I can definitely see that this was created [...]

  • Opeth “Ghost Reveries”

    When I found Teufel’s Tomb and read through the reviews I was greatly amused by the rampant use of the terms "gay" and "homosexual" throughout the many articles listed on the website. After thoroughly reading the website I came to the conclusion that Teufel and his crew had very similar tastes in music and [...]
