  • Black Wizard – New Waste

    Black Wizard – New Waste

    It’s not everyday you have the opportunity to listen to music that’s straight from the heart, fun and by musicians that wear their influences on their sleeves. But that’s just what this four piece from Vancouver are all about. The band includes Adam Grant (vocals/guitar), Eugene Parkomenko (drums), Evan Joel (bass) and Danny Stokes (guitar)…

  • SATAN TOUR DIARY – Final Instalment

    SATAN TOUR DIARY – Final Instalment

    By Steve Ramsey [as emailed to and edited by Kevin Stewart-Panko] By the time you read this, original NWOBHM death-cheaters, Satan will have had North America in their rear view mirror, probably finishing up their Japanese festival duties and heading back to jolly ol’ England to get back to annoying their wives and having their…

  • Mars Red Sky – Stranded in Arcadia

    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…

    Common law never sounded so exceptional!

    Incantation – Vanquish in Vengeance

    By Matt Hinch Old school death metal stalwarts Incantation have been in the game for a long time (in one form or another) proving that age is nothing but a number. Lone original member in guitarist/vocalist John McEntee and the boys have unleashed a total ripper of an album in the form of Vanquish In…

  • Hate – Erebos

    I wish Demigod from Behemoth had this type of balance mixing wise. While everything on this album sounds huge it is clear and concise unlike the previously mentioned effort from Behemoth where the vocals were huge and nothing else.

  • Maryland Deathfest 2010 Recap Part 1

    The great thing about fests like MDF is that the metal is simply overflowing. The bad thing about fests like MDF is that the metal is simply overflowing. If it’s sitting down to catch your breath, or grabbing a drink or a bite to eat, there are plenty of reasons causing one to miss one…

  • The Legion: A Bliss To Suffer

    The third offering from Sweden’s The Legion, A Bliss To Suffer doesn’t wait to try and crush its listeners. Even with a sprinkling of instrumental spots here and an added sound effect there, the core black/death elements emerge from the beginning of opening track “Shining Redemption” and remain more or less consistent throughout the album…

  • The Legion: A Bliss to Suffer

    As agonizing as the cover art looks and the song titles read (culminating in “The Reaping of Flesh and Blood”), A Bliss to Suffer is hardly a ferocious monstrosity.
