    Thantifaxath – s/t Demo

    The debut demo by Toronto-based black metallers Thantifaxath is enough to make you’d wish you’d never given up your cassette player. It’s certainly an incentive to get it back.

  • Kyuss Lives! Long Live Kyuss!

    Last nite, Kyuss Lives! kicked off its North American tour in Toronto, with support from The Sword and MonstrO. To say that the venue was a little out of the way would be an understatement, and the support was a little underwhelming, but I woulda given a kidney to see 90 minutes of Kyuss tunes…

  • Who doesn’t need a little Weed Metal on a Tuesday nite?

    North Carolinian road warriors Weedeater are at it again, coming through town this Tuesday for the fourth time in three years (by my count)–and the second since their new album, Jason… the Dragon came out. Not only have they taken a step up in venues this time around, playing Lee’s Palace instead of the Wreckroom,…

  • Sonic Boom, Two Inches to the Left

    There is an old episode of That 70’s Show where the Foremans hire Hyde’s stoner pal Leo (played by Tommy Chong) and his contractor buddy (a cameo from Richard Karn, aka “Al” from Home Improvement) to renovate their basement.

  • Out with the old, in with the new!

    If you were paying attention, you would’ve noticed that TooHighToGetItRight.com went offline last weekend.

It was still online when I left, but not when I got back, so there ya go.…

  • Another lazy doom Sunday… with TOTIMOSHI!

    Sundays are somewhat of a strange day for a metal gig. Typically, it’s when you wind down from the weekend and get ready for the work week ahead. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s another gig this Sunday, as desert rockers Totimoshi take their strange sounds to Toronto on their tour for their latest, Avenger.

  • The world’s loudest bar band hits Toronto tonite…

    They might not be in the Guinness Book of Records alongside Manowar and Motorhead, but Georgian “black doomed sludge thrash” nomads Jucifer have been blowing the roofs offa tiny clubs for years. Tonite, they make their annual trip to Toronto, where, for the second year in a row, they’ll be playing the Bovine Sex Club.

  • Blackened Brews: Beau’s Lug Tread Lagered Ale

    In the first of what will probably be an occasional but hopefully ongoing series here at Hellbound, it’s time for a review of the award-winning “flagship beer” of the Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company. The Lug Head Lagered Ale stands at 5.2% alcohol and comes in a very generous 600 ml size.
