    Talking Blasphemous Baking With Metalcakes’ Kathy Bejma

    There’s something evil baking in the kitchen of Kathy Bejma, a Chi-town native who’s creative to the max with her concept of merging metal with cupcakes. Developed in 2008, Metalcakes is a culinary tribute to her favourite bands, baking with supreme passion whilst listening to the most blasphemous of records. From the simple topping of…

  • Ghost – Opus Eponymous

    If you consider Opus Eponymous to be a pop album, you probably think Yes and Genesis are pop bands, too. Erm, wait a minnit. Well, I can’t say I see Ghost going down that route, anyways. After all, it won’t be the 80’s for another 69 years…

  • STAFF PLAYLISTS: October 2010

    Hellbound’s staff give our picks for Halloween-themed songs to coincide with one of our favourite holidays.

  • Six Feet Under – Graveyard Classics III

    The concept of the covers album is a risky one. Nothing wrong with slapping one on as a B-side or extra track. But to propose a whole album of covers often begs the question, “What? Have they run out of their own material already?” When you decide to make the cover album an ongoing series,…

  • King Diamond shoes: The Sole of Metal

    C1rca Shoes has announced a line of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate themed shoes and our faithful editor is turning into a whiny school girl over them. Go figure.
