  • KYLESA – Spiral Shadow

    But the album’s triumph for me, without question, is the majestic, heartfelt (hell, almost power-pop!) pageantry of “Don’t Look Back”; its two-note clarion-call intro causes the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up every time I listen– and the lyrics and vocals propel the song into sheer anthemic glory. Hellbound’s Kyle Harcott…

  • In Conversation With: Cynic’s Paul Masvidal

    “I’m interested in various philosophical perspectives in relation to the inner workings of the mind and how that relates to being a human on planet earth. So there’s this balance between earth and cosmos and merging micro with macro. Something as simple as observing a flower one can see the entire universe contained within it.…

  • Cynic/ Intronaut/ Dysrhythmia @ The Opera House, Toronto ON, August 2, 2010

    “Metal cannot often be defined as subtle.

  • Rimfrost – Veraldar Nagli

    As the album grows significantly colder, it is evident that Rimfrost are able to maintain a distinct black metal sound that isn’t too cliché. Their sound infiltrates each ear because of its varied elements and sub-genre qualities that intertwine with each other.

  • Maryland Deathfest 2010 Recap Part 1

  • Watain: The Hellbound Interview

    This kind of music attracts people that want to explore the dark , the kinds of things within that want to have an outlet and want to be manifested in reality, in your life. Black metal is one way of letting this side manifest. Justin M. Norton in conversation with Erik Danielsson of Watain on…
