Ghost – Prequelle
After three years, Ghost have released their fourth full-length album, Prequelle. After how much I enjoyed their previous work, Meliora (2015) especially, I had high hopes for the new record, but ultimately I believe my expectations were a bit too high for their new project. The album features several high points, but many low points…

Hellbound @ Tuska Open Air 2016 in Helsinki
Friday At this point for me, Tuska has become a second festival home. It has the right feel in terms of scope of bands, location, weather, and lastly: friends. This year was jam packed with all sorts of stuff I wanted to see. Many of the bands I had seen before, but maybe it has…

Mars Red Sky – Stranded in Arcadia
I must be Facebook friends with someone in this French outfit, cuz I remember getting a request to “like” ’em a little while back, well before this album came out. Let me just say, I like ’em a lot. Mars Red Sky take a more melodic approach to stoner rock, still fuzzy but not fuzzed-out, with some…

Ghost w/ King Dude At Granada Theatre, Lawrence, Kansas, Tuesday, April 22, 2014 Live review and photos by William Seay I like Ghost. I’ve liked them since they began as a band in 2010. So let’s get that out of the way, because there aren’t many more galvanizing bands in our genre than Ghost. Or…

No, I’m not going to see Ghost again…
Alas, when I saw Ghost the first time around, they only had the debut album to draw from. I was quite surprised at how many kids were both moshing and singing along to the likes of “Elizabeth” and “Satan’s Prayer,” but their performance didn’t strike such a chord with me….

Ancient VVisdom: A Godlike Inferno
A Godlike Inferno is a grand, cloven-footed romp. Having one foot in the metal camp, and one in the alt-folk and rock camp, gives the album wider crossover appeal—although potential listeners might struggle somewhat with Opposition’s satanic fervency

Decibel Magazine Tour @ Amos Southend, Charlotte, NC, May 4, 2012
Review and photos by Justin Richardson The Decibel Magazine Tour came through Charlotte almost three months ago, which puts this review in big bold letters as “LATE.” But the show was fantastic and the lineup was terrific. Being the inaugural tour for Decibel, I can only hope the caliber of bands presented only gets better…

Opeth / Mastodon / Ghost @ Sony Centre, Toronto ON, April 7, 2012
“Most readers of Hellbound are probably familiar with the typical metal venue – sticky floors, questionable washrooms, a dimly lit stage, and a sound system that only the most experienced sound engineers can master. But every once in awhile, we get treated to a special show, where a venue has as much to do with…

Melvins – The Bulls & the Bees
This band just keeps on rolling, even if their former touring vehicle will remain parked for a while.
