  • Hellbound @ Tuska Open Air 2018 in Helsinki

    Hellbound @ Tuska Open Air 2018 in Helsinki

    Friday Denmark’s Baest started the 2018 edition of the Tuska off with with a surprisingly tight death outfit in the veins of Entombed or Bloodbath.  Definitely was unexpected, and definitely a surprise out of the gate.  Baest hasn’t even released an album at this point, but their debut is coming later this month. They’ll be…

  • Hellbound @ Tuska Open Air 2016 in Helsinki

    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…

  • Hellbound @ Heavy Montreal, Day 2: August 8, 2015

    Hellbound @ Heavy Montreal, Day 2: August 8, 2015

    Day 2 of this year’s Heavy Montreal was hotter and sunnier and, for us, off to a slow, humid start. We arrived in time to catch Lita Ford rockin’ out. She looked to be having a good time and the crowd was too, singing along to classics like “Cherry Bomb” and “Kiss Me Deadly.” Abbath (ex-Immortal,…

    A capacity crowd came together at Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre last week to witness France’s mighty Gojira, Canada’s own Devin Townsend Project, and Chicago’s critically acclaimed The Atlas Moth, and what a show it was. Hellbound’s Adam Wills was there to witness the whole thing.

  • Best of the Best – A Tally of the Year’s Best Albums

    Best of the Best – A Tally of the Year’s Best Albums

    I’m not sure exactly what this list means – is this list any better than any of the individual lists? Probably not. Every list that comes out has their own personality, has albums that may be less obvious. But perhaps what this list does show is what the collective metal media thought was the “can’t…

  • Gojira – L’enfant Sauvage

    Gojira – L’enfant Sauvage

    If I had to sum up L’enfant Sauvage in a single word it would “solid”. The songwriting is top notch, the typical Gojira-groove is still very much intact and despite the occasional experimental moments it’s pretty much business as usual.

  • Gojira: Death Metal From the Soul

    Back in the day, the pounding, clanging and grinding sounds of Birmingham, England’s ubiquitous industrial work provided a great wealth of inspiration for the thunderous sounds of metal’s forefathers in Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Similarly, having grown up in the southwest of France in Bayonne, the members of Gojira are very familiar with the…
