    Tony Tears – Demons Crawl At Your Side

    It is fair to say a lot of metal fans like Italian horror films. I’m thinking of atmospheric works like Lucio Fulci’s ‘The Beyond’ or Dario Arngento’s ‘Susperia’, both fine Italian works of art and highly influential and respected. Moreover, Italy is a country with a long and bloody history and the birthplace of the Roman Catholic…

    “We Fear Nothing!”: Lacuna Coil, September 27, 2014

    Lacuna Coil, Starset, and Incura Saturday, September 27th, 2014 at Crocks, Thunder Bay, ON It’s 2014, but apparently bands’ buses are still breaking down and leaving musicians stranded on the side of the highway.

  • The Secret: Channeling Frustration Into Fury

    Most of our lyrics are a reflection of the times and the country we’re living in. I think that the main lyrical concept of the record is the loss of faith in pretty much everything. Politics, religion, media. Playing is a very cathartic experience, so it’s something we’re doing mostly for ourselves. The band is…

  • Rhapsody of Fire – The Frozen Tears of Angels

    The Frozen Tears of Angels is a solid, fun record that need not apologize for being metal.

  • Ufomammut – Eve

    Eve—the song and the album—sounds like it’s been shaped from molten rock. Ufomammut have dug deep; crafting elusive, unruly elements into something inspired and monumental

  • KEVI METAL’S RIMSHOTS v.2 #2

    Welcome to the second installment of the snarky, irreverent world of Rimshots, reconstituted for the online world that is Hellbound.ca. Enjoy them, because I know I didn’t. After suffering through this crop of crap, all I have to ask is: Sean, dude, what did I ever do to you?!
