Jeff Hanneman – Reign In Peace
Hellbound Metal: written tributes by Hellbound writers to the recently deceased Jeff Hanneman of Slayer
La Chinga – self-titled
Hellbound Metal: These guys may not be reinventing the wheel, but as practitioners of the world’s oldest profession, I can dig their modern take on classic rock… ¡Chinga tu madre!
Altar of Plagues – Teethed Glory and Injury
If Teethed Glory and Injury has a central flaw, it is that the vignette-like nature of its individual songs and transitions means that it also lacks the cohesiveness of their previous full-lengths. It is thus much less of a smooth listen from start to finish.
Hypocrisy – End of Disclosure
Hypocrisy aren’t zombies, but their decade-plus career has spawned fantastic music for the Swedish melodic scene.
Old Corpse Road – ‘Tis Witching Hour…As Spectres We Haunt This Kingdom’
Hellbound Metal: The best new British band since The Meads of Asphodel, I can give no higher praise!
Devil to Pay – Fate is Your Muse
Hellbound Metal: In any case, they might have flown under the radar for some time, but this album proves that if you sleep on this Indy outfit, well, payback is a bitch. 😉
Rob Zombie – Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor
Hellbound Metal: If listeners were uncertain of what to expect from Rob Zombie now, seven years after his music began to struggle and movies clearly began to take up more of his time,the singer spells out what they’re going to get pretty clearly from the moment “Teenage Nosferatu Pussy” explodes to open Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, his fifth album.
Revelation – Inner Harbor
A new album is always a welcome sight from this longstanding Maryland doom trio
Call Of The Void – Dragged Down a Dead End Path
Dragged Down a Dead End Path does exactly as the title suggests. Call of the Void drags the listener, kicking and screaming, toward a gruesome end in a shallow, lonely grave they had to dig themselves.
