  • Hellbound @ Tuska Open Air 2017 in Helsinki

    Hellbound @ Tuska Open Air 2017 in Helsinki

    Once again I find myself in Helsinki to attend the Tuska Open Air Festival, which has become a staple in my yearly concert plans. The weather called for rain, but for the most part we were lucky to dodge shit weather — mostly. One thing I love and admire about this festival is that the…

    BEST OF 2014 – our contributors have their say (individual lists)

    How did we come up with our collective top 20 metal albums of the year? Our contributors sent in their lists, we did a little math, and well, you can see the result (congratulations, Pallbearer!). But if you’re curious, here are our individual lists, full of commonalities but also revealing Hellbounders’ wide-ranging tastes. Thanks for a 2014…

  • Hellbound’s best of 2014: metal albums of the year (#6-10)

    Hellbound’s best of 2014: metal albums of the year (#6-10)

    Hellbound’s end-of-the-year metal coverage continues with the first batch of the heaviest hitters – the releases that came in #6-10 in our best metal albums of 2014 tally. There might be a touch of nostalgia here, or a hint of our relative agedness in our tastes, or maybe it’s just that these bands just really know…

  • Triptykon – Melana Chasmata

    Triptykon – Melana Chasmata

    A picture can often be worth a thousand words and you only have to look a picture of Tom G. Warrior (I know his real name, but to me, Tom G. Warrior is more real than any birth name). You can see his life experience etched into his face, those intense eyes burning out from…

  • Asphyx – Deathhammer

    Asphyx – Deathhammer

    This is pretty much the same mid-tempo old school shit all the way through. It is exactly how Asphyx wants it, and if you like good quality, be it fairly unoriginal Death Metal then you will fully dig this.

    Who else could be number thirteen in our staff interviews but Natalie Zed?

  • Triptykon – Shatter EP

    Containing three additional songs taken from the album sessions that just didn’t fit within the parameters of the album plus two live songs recorded live at the band’s performance at the 2010 Roadburn Festival, Shatter is every bit as essential as the full length is.

  • On the Bus with Tom Gabriel Fischer

    “Once you have lived this for a while you are free to have different experiences. Each tour brings a new experience. But I’m a somewhat nostalgic guy. This is my seventh U.S. tour or something like that and there are a lot of memories. We played Portland last night and there was a full moon.…
