Their latest album “TO THE DEAD” has been out since October 21st (via Relapse Records, links below). Hellbound’s Danielle Griscti was eager to pick his…

Imperial Triumphant – Live – August 14th, Glasgow, UK
Sunday night – what better time for an evening of thinking man’s chaotic avant-garde black metal, namely Imperial Triumphant from New York. This show was another covid casaulty, originally penned in for last year but was inevitably postponed. Formed in 2005 by Zachary Ilya Ezrin, they released a few full-lengths but it was 2008’s Vile…

Cattle Decapitation – Live – August 18th, Glasgow, UK
Hot off the trail of their debut appearance at Bloodstock Festival, American death/grinders Cattle Decapitation are back in Glasgow. In 2019, they released their prescient album Death Atlas and toured for it into the following year, before cancellations due to you-know-what. So this delayed European tour promotes that album and feels timely considering the global depression…

ZOMBI – ZOMBI and Friends Volume 1
This album is possibly the Zombi album that will get the least amount of repeated plays of their entire recorded output but it is a really fun listen nonetheless. It’s a big step, at least to these ears, from what the band is best known for, but kudos to them for putting it out there.

Thrall – Schisms
By Kyle Harcott Melbourne’s Thrall returns with their fourth full-length, Schisms, after a nearly seven-year hiatus from recording. Their last full-length, Aokigahara Jukai, was this writer’s favourite album of 2013. A lot has changed in that time. The band’s lineup continues to revolve around Tom Void, and Thrall still sounds like some kind of demonic…

Mayhem & Mortiis Live Review – Glasgow, UK
Finally, infamous Norwegian black metallers Mayhem are in Glasgow. A show initially penned for two years ago pre-plague. It’s third time lucky for this rescheduled date and the city is ready for it – the show is entirely sold out. Support comes from fellow Norwegian band, Mortiis. He was in an early incarnation of the seminal…

Opeth, Mastodon and Khemmis – Live Gallery: Toronto, ON – April 22 2022
It was an absolute joy to shoot the legendary Opeth at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Friday April 25, 2022. That sure feels great to write! Live shows in 2022, and one of the all-time favourites of many a metalhead, good stuff. Hey, but don’t let my nerding out about these prog darlings from Sweden…
