  • 70,000 Tons of Metal 2013, Part One

    After attending Barge to Hell in December, I had absolutely no idea that I’d be returning to Miami some five weeks later to the same port, the same ship, the same crew even, to cover the third annual 70,000 Tons of Metal. But as anyone will tell you, when you have a chance to go…

  • The Linus Pauling Quartet – Bag of Hammers

    Basically, if you like a little SRV sizzle with your thick Texas steak, and some hash brownies for desert before wandering in the desert… yeah, you’d probably dig this.

  • Bad Religion – True North

    while the albums that Bad Religion has released since returning to Epitaph in 2002 have been consistently improving, True North marks the high point of a decade’s worth of work. This album is a true classic which marks a pinnacle of powers in Bad Religion and upholds everything that is best about the band.

  • Barge To Hell Cruise Recap Part 4

    In early December the inaugural BARGE TO HELL cruise sailed from Miami, FL to Nassau, Bahamas and back and featured live performances by forty-two metal bands. Hellbound.ca was lucky enough to have been able to send some of its contributors on the cruise and here is what they had to say about the performances that…

  • “Happy Valentine’s Day–I think we should see other psych bands!”

    Suffice to say, the dudes in Quest For Fire must have a wicked sense of humour. I mean, who breaks up the day after Valentine’s Day? Well, these Toronto heavy-psych stalwarts, apparently.

  • Rotten Sound – Species At War

    Species At War is an incendiary and blindingly ferocious blitzkrieg of power. In full gear, the album flays the ears like a sandstorm of razorblades.

  • Doro – Raise Your Fist

    Raise Your Fist can keep a venue or party going all night. The record doesn’t show Doro in a new light, but depicts her self-respect through some seriously fetching tracks. At 48 years old, Doro is still hot in leather, strikes chords and bakes like a boss. Horns to her.

  • Baptists: Bushcraft

    The songs are the thing, riffs and hooks left and right that snatch your breath, but it’s the squeezed-fist-grip-on-your-heart attack that makes Baptists your better-than-average d-beat plus metal guitars unit.

  • Because Slipknot is definitely the most Satanic band since KISS…

    Suffice to say there’s a lot of crazy shit on Facebook. You don’t hafta go far to find some utter inanities, that’s for sure. Earlier today, I stumbled across something that was nevertheless notable: a page entitled Christians Against Slipknot. It’s a real doozy…
