  • Dark Celebration: Phlegeton: The Transcendence of Demon Lords

    Dark Celebration is a Brazilian-based black/death metal outfit from Rio Grande do sul. Phlegeton: The Transcendence of Demon Lords, recently released by Paragon Records, is their third full-length album and- I hate to say this – it is a very messy, choppy and noisy affair.

  • Obituary: Darkest Day

    The latest effort from famous Floridian band Obituary is a “summer blockbuster” album if there ever was one.

  • Slayer: Preparing for a World Painted Blood

    “I can imagine myself at 75 looking like Charlie Watts playing speed metal,” says Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo. “I’m OK with that. I don’t know about the other guys. I’ll keep playing, though, and as long as Slayer needs me, I’ll be here. Whatever they wanna do.” Keith Carman speaks to Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo…

  • Antigama: Warning

    Although this is the fifth full length album from this polish death metal/ grindcore band, this is their first CD I have had the opportunity to listen to and I have to say it’s a killer.

  • Dreaming Dead: Within One

    Hailing from Los Angeles, Dreaming Dead’s Within One is a memorable and catchy debut album from the band. The music is a blackened mixture of death metal and thrash, and for the most part the combination works here.

  • Jungle Rot: What Horrors Await

    Back with their sixth full length CD is this old school death metal band which emerged in the mid ’90’s. There is an undeniable influence of Slayer, Sodom and Obituary on this band from Kenosha, Wisconsin; this album is by far is a lot tighter than other albums I’ve purchased by them in the past.…
