Agalloch – The Serpent and the Sphere
From beginning to end this album is a wonder, combining moments of crushing heaviness with overwhelming beauty, and I found it a tall order to find the words to describe this feat. Produced by Billy Anderson and featuring three acoustic interludes, and using elements like a waterphone and a 100 year old zither, Agalloch’s The Serpent…

More Maryland Deathfest 2014 – going full bore at MDF
This review is quite long. But then, Maryland Deathfest was a long festival. It was full of bands I wanted to see. I also remained sober through the entire festival.

Noctis Valkyries 5: Hell Comes To Cowtown
“I cannot stress how fantastic it was to attend Noctis V. To get to see three nights of amazing shows from a lot of bands who would never come to this part of the world otherwise; to spend afternoons rubbing elbows with those same bands, esteemed members of the metal literati, and like-minded fans, all…

Hellbound Q & A with… Terese Fleming of Scarab Productions
Western Canadian metal owes a lot to Terese Fleming. As the organizer of the Noctis festival, she has put our region on the map as far as heavy metal culture goes.
