  • Hellbound Staff Interrogation #1: Adrien Begrand

    With today being the second anniversary of the launch of Hellbound.ca (yay us!), we have decided to do short interviews with the staff of Hellbound so that you the readers can find out more about us and where we come from. Justin M. Norton came up with a bunch of questions, which we will be…

  • Unleash The Archers – Demons of the AstroWaste

    On Demons of the AstroWaste, Unleash the Archers sound like veterans of the scene and turn in a, ahem, stellar performance. This album is a nerd’s delight in more ways than one and may very well be an album of the year contender on many lists!

  • Nightbitch – Sex and Magic

    Alas, for the most part, this EP is listenable, even enjoyable—but by no means original.

  • Hell – Human Remains

  • Apostle of Solitude / Dawnrider – one sided split 12″

    New review of the new split 12″ release by APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE and Portugal’s DAWNRIDER.

  • Maryland Deathfest Preview #2: Friday, May 27th

    This upcoming weekend marks the return of the biggest underground metal festival in North America, the Maryland Deathfest. Quite a few Hellbound contributors are making the pilgrimage down to Baltimore for the four day festival, which starts this Thursday and carries on through Sunday, so we have picked some of our most anticipated bands to…

  • Hate Eternal – Phoenix Amongst the Ashes

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the casual death metal fan (if there really are any) will find Phoenix Amongst the Ashes hard to swallow. There isn’t anything cool or ‘hip’ to grab on to here, and it will make many of the mall metal fans run screaming from…
