The best so far: celebrating five years of Hellbound.ca
Hellbound.ca turned 5 years old earlier this month and we’re ready to celebrate! Wow, I sometimes find it hard to imagine that this little…
Cancer Bats / 3 Inches of Blood / Barn Burner @ The Mod Club, Toronto ON, May 19th, 2011
“While you could see that the artists were pressed for time, I was treated to a neat, precise, high energy performance with little waiting and no fat.”
Hellbound Metal’s own Natalie Zed was at The Mod Club in Toronto for the Cancer Bats, 3 Inches of Blood and Barn Burner on May 19, 2011. Here is her review of the evening.
Krallice – Diotima
Tightly-controlled and ferociously intertwined guitar riffs.
Metal Parrot Sings Her Way Into Your Withered Heart
Leanne Palmerston wants you to watch this Parrot sing a Drowning Pool song
Pestilence:Resurrection Macabre
Being a legendary band in brutal/progressive death metal
circles, many eyes and ears were at the ready to see what Pestilence
were going to come up with 16 years after their last proper full
length release.
Rotting Christ: Non Serviam: A 20 Year Apocryphal Story DVD/CD
Rotting Christ’s first DVD (In Domine Sathana) is barely a half decade old but the band’s 20th anniversary seems reason enough for another multimedia release. Non Serviam is a weighty package: two DVDs and two CDs of material arranged around a monumental live centre-piece – a two and a half hour performance in Athens, Greece, recorded at the end of 2007.
Megadeth: From Vic’s Garage To Endgame With Shawn Drover
The words “Megadeth” and “Dave Mustaine” are pretty much synonymous. In fact, we’d be willing to wager substantial sums of money that we don’t actually have that “Megadeth” and “Dave Mustaine” are far and away more synonymous with each other than “megadeath” and “Herman Kahn,” the gentleman who just happens to be the RAND military strategist who devised and first used the term in 1953 to describe one million deaths as a result of a thermonuclear war.
Kevin Stewart-Panko speaks to Megadeth’s Shawn Drover about their new studio, new guitarist and upcoming new album.
Eagle Twin: The Unkindness of Crows
Much as Gentry Densley used jazz in order to elevate hardcore in The Iceburn Collective, so does he use jazz (among other things) in order to plunge doom further into its depths. As The Iceburn Collective cast hardcore in a new light, so does Eagle Twin cast doom in a new darkness.
Throne of Katarsis: Helvete-Det Iskalde Mørket
Norway’s Throne of Katarsis have produced a sophomore full-length album that is, in almost every way, a recreation of much of the early nineties Norwegian black metal sound.
Blasphemy Blog #1: Lords Of Chaos – Yay Or Nay?
There has been much controversy and mixed opinions surrounding Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground since its 1998 release. Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind’s book is probably the most notable of it’s kind, offering much insight to the life and crimes of our favourite black metal artists.
Lords of Chaos: a story involving the TNBM scene, with actors retelling the intriguing, but violent tales of music, murder and arson. Will it shock or compel?
