Hellbound Staff Interrogations #12: Kyle Harcott
Today’s staff interview is with Vancouver’s Kyle Harcott.
Relapse
Black Tusk – Passage through Purgatory
Questionable timing aside, this is a solid, albeit less-than-spectacular slice of Georgia sludge.
Noisear – Subvert the Dominant Paradigm
Overall, Noisear is an obvious fit for the Relapse roster that has released a fine grind album.
Indian – Guiltless
These guys play slow, dirty swamp metal, buried deep under several layers of distortion. Much better suited for the bleakest, darkest days of winter than an early spring release.
STAFF PLAYLISTS: March 2011
Back by popular demand, here are the Staff Playlists for March 2011!
Bloodiest – Descent
These guys (and gal) frolic in the post-metal fields ploughed by Neurosis, though they definitely do their own thing. That being said, their thing is a little too weird for me.

Postcards From Natalie Zed: Set #7
Hellbound readers, we’re sure that by now you are all familiar with our Natalie Zed, right? Natalie was our big grand prize winner way back in January, taking home more than 50 CDs + and shortly after she received her huge box ‘o CDs, Ms. Zed asked us over at Hellbound HQ if we’d be interested in running reviews of her winnings if she did postcard sized reviews of the albums. How could we say no?
She’s reviewed all the original CDs and is now reviewing newer things that have made their way to her. Here is part seven of her ongoing series of what we like to call “Postcards With Natalie Zed”…
