  • Augury: Fragmentary Evidence

    Montreal’s Augury is describable as Canadian Progressive Death Metal. This band manages to keep the listener’s interest throughout the whole album delivering fresh melodic tunes on their second full length cd Fragmentary Evidence.

  • Deathstars: Night Electric Night

    Night Electric Night is the third album from Swedish industrial band Deathstars. While there isn’t anything that really stands out to get the listener’s attention, there also isn’t anything particularly horrific about this album.

  • Behemoth: Evangelion

    Poland’s Behemoth have returned with their ninth album in nineteen years, and this time around the band sounds as though they are pushing themselves even further. While Evangelion is still recognizably (and perhaps even predictably) Behemoth, there’s a controlled chaos to the sound that gives things a certain energy.

  • Netherbird: The Ghost Collector

    Though drummer Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates, The Haunted, Cradle of Filth) has been a respected figure in the metal scene for quite some time, Sweden’s Netherbird is just a newer arrival added to his list. Since forming in 2004, the band has released two EPs while attracting followers from around the world through MySpace…

  • Oak: s/t LP

Vocalist Jo Gonzalez mixes and mashes his vocal chords to the tune of skidding tires and large men falling down jagged canyons while the humid oppression of the guitar, bass and drums acts like the soundtrack to slow suffocation and violent digestion.

  • Black Pyramid: self-titled

    Easily the most coveted album amongst my shipment of MeteorCity new releases. Black Pyramid’s self-titled was one of my most anticipated albums of ’09, and easily my most eagerly awaited debut since the Blood Ceremony record that came out on Rise Above last year.

  • Skull: Self-titled

    Played all the way through, there is barely a second’s hesitation between songs. As such, the album flows together into one long rhythmic, down-tempo doom fest.

  • Tardy Brothers: Bloodline

    Tardy Brothers is the new project featuring Florida death metal band OBITUARY’s founding members John (vocals) and Donald Tardy (drums). Their new nine track debut album under this name, Bloodline, is absolutely fantastic from the start to the end.

  • Quick VIEWs – July 17th

    By Sean Palmerston The following metal/hard rock reviews were published yesterday in Hamilton’s VIEW Magazine and are not online, so I decided to throw them up on Hellbound… Deep Purple History, Hits & Highlights ’68 – ’76 DVD Eagle Vision Eagle Vision has done a pretty outstanding job with chronicling the history of Deep Purple…

  • Watch Black Metal Doc Trailer Here, Now
