    Arguably the talk of the entire festival was Pentagram playing a homecoming, headlining set on Saturday night.

  • PSYCHO LAS VEGAS Day One Recap

    PSYCHO LAS VEGAS Day One Recap

    When I first saw the lineup for Psycho Las Vegas back in February, I knew I had to be there, and they hadn’t even announced the headliners yet. There definitely hasn’t been such an impressive lineup of stoner/doom/heavy-rock outfits anywhere in North America before…

  • Pentagram – First Daze Here

    Pentagram – First Daze Here

    These days, when Bobby Liebling sings “These are gonna be my last days here…” he really means it. The dude looked like death warmed over when I saw ‘em down in Cleveland last year, and his touring troubles continued recently, with missed gigs and pissed-off openers on their last trek. The backing band behind him…

  • AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: PENTAGRAM/Electric Citizen/Satan’s Satyrs @ Grog Shop, Cleveland, October 11, 2015

    AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: PENTAGRAM/Electric Citizen/Satan’s Satyrs @ Grog Shop, Cleveland, October 11, 2015

    Pentagram was scheduled to come up here for NXNE in June, but got denied at the border. So when I heard they’d be playing within driving distance–on Canadian Thanksgiving, no less–I just had to scratch that itch, eh?

    Pentagram – Curious Volume

    Having had the honor of meeting this entire band and getting to have a long conversation with Bobby (Liebling, vocalist), might make me a bit biased. However, I can honestly say without a doubt that Pentagram is one of my favorite bands of all time. As far as my personal rating, I would put them…

  • Carousel – 2113

    Carousel – 2113

    I’m not really a Rush fan, but I gotta say, it takes some giant gonads to effectively name your album 2112 + 1.  Then again, the official explanation from these Pittsburgh rockers is that 2113 is actually their house number.  And hey, Carousel don’t sound much like Rush, anyways… unless you go all the way back…

  • The best so far: celebrating five years of Hellbound.ca

    The best so far: celebrating five years of Hellbound.ca

    Hellbound.ca turned 5 years old earlier this month and we’re ready to celebrate! Wow, I sometimes find it hard to imagine that this little webzine that we started oh so long ago is still around, but here we are, a little more than five years later. Hellbound.ca is still here, still turning out great features…

    Run After To – Gjinn and Djinn

    By Gruesome Greg  While there are plenty of “noun the verb” bands round these parts, particularly within the metalcore genre, it’s safe to say that when a band’s handle ends in a preposition, they’re probably from abroad.  Such is the case of these obscure Italian doomsters, who released a pair of EPs in the 80’s and…

  • Hellbound.ca INDIVIDUAL TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2013

    Ask the Hellbound writers what the best albums of 2013 were and you get a wide-ranging list covering well over 100 records. It’s a sign of our diverse but discerning tastes. It’s also a powerful reminder of what a great year it’s been for metal.

  • Blood Ceremony / Biblical / Cauchemar @ Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto ON, September 14, 2013

    “A smoke-filled backdrop and a barefoot bassist set the stage for vocalist/flautist/keyboardist Alia O’Brien to cast a spell over the crowd. Her seemingly effortless weaving between instruments, combined with undeniable natural charisma, made her a magnetic presence on stage.” Danielle Griscti reviews the Toronto album release party by Blood Ceremony at the Horseshoe Tavern on…
