Troll – self-titled
Now, “The Troll” is not my favourite Saint Vitus song. Not even on Mournful Cries. (“Dragon Time” FTW!) But when you’ve got a trad…
Shadow Kingdom
Cardinals Folly – Our Cult Continues
Wasn’t a huge fan of the previous demos from Cardinals Folly, which were a little too black-metal-sounding for me, but I really want this to…
Sadhak – Sadhak
Well, he’s got the first part of the band name right, anyways. Not your typical one-man Norwegian metal band, Sadhak actually plays longing, despondent…
Pale Divine – Cemetery Earth (reissue)
By Gruesome Greg Don’t sleep on Pale Divine. They might not be one of the first bands that comes to mind when you think…
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…
HELLBOUND RADIO Playlist – Sunday, June 9th, 2013
Well holy shit, it’s a Hellbound Radio playlist! Well, there actually hasn’t been a playlist for a while, as it has been nearly a month since we have done the show live. Never fear however, faithful listeners/followers, for Hellbound Radio returned on Sunday night with a show jam packed full of new releases.
Revelation – Inner Harbor
A new album is always a welcome sight from this longstanding Maryland doom trio
Pagan Altar – The Time Lord
Anyways, this is really only essential for Pagan Altar completists and mega-fans. If you haven’t heard these guys yet, seek out Volume 1 first (or Judgement of the Dead if you happen to find it on vinyl).
Altar of Oblivion – Grand Gesture of Defiance
I must say, this record kinda snuck up on me, not having heard any of Altar’s previous work. But man, this is some high-quality epic doom, right here. Perhaps the best stuff to come outta Denmark since…
Crisis – Armed To The Teeth/Kick It Out
Crisis do have some early metal influences happening though the majority of what you’ll hear is hard rock driven material. The guitar owes as much to the 60’s British Invasion sound as it does NWOBHM, which is to say that it’s catchy but not exactly metal and not overly memorable either.
