Read More »Witchburner – Bloodthirsty Eyes
Witchburner are a thrash metal band from Germany. Their old school thrash metal reminds me on venom. The voice of the singer ‘Pino’ often sounds like Conrad ‘Cronos’ Lant sometimes like Lemmy. The first song ‘Sermon of Profanity‘ starts melodically and later it gets more power but not so much power …

Read More »Combichrist – No Redemption (DmC: Devil May Cry OST)
Music aside, the industrial “scene” so to speak is at once compelling and completely perplexing, for while there exists a healthy number of acts who have attained considerable success despite the often violent, machine-like and vastly uncommercial tendencies it possesses (Combichrist themselves are often described as “aggrotech”), it’s never had …

It seems that world-domination wasn’t quite enough for Biffy Clyro.

Read More »Tomahawk – Oddfellows
In the realm of music in general (never mind all things heavy), there are few artists as impenetrable as Mike Patton. From the incendiary experimentalism of Faith No More to the utterly bizarre genre-dodging of Mr. Bungle – and let’s not forget Fantômas, Peeping Tom and his genuinely terrifying compositions …
Read More »Cult Of Luna – Vertikal
Amidst all our genre squabbling and elitism, there exists a selection of bands who operate on metal’s outer limits. Elusive, erudite and enigmatic, they so staunchly avoid direct genre classification that it’s almost to their detriment. For Cult Of Luna, a five year gap has pervaded between 2008’s Eternal Kingdom …
