    ZOMBI – ZOMBI and Friends Volume 1

    This album is possibly the Zombi album that will get the least amount of repeated plays of their entire recorded output but it is a really fun listen nonetheless. It’s a big step, at least to these ears, from what the band is best known for, but kudos to them for putting it out there.

    Völur to tour US with 1476

    Just ICYMI: Toronto doom favourites Völur recently announced their first tour, including US dates, with Prophecy Productions labelmates 1476.  The trio has so far earned a reputation for their endlessly evolving live performances; no two sets are quite alike.  Not to be missed! www.facebook.com/VolurDoom hellbound.ca/2017/05/volur-ancestors hellbound.ca/2018/01/best-canadian-metal-2017-top-15

  • Iced Earth – Festivals of the Wicked

    Now after watching this thing twice I’ll bet anyone who would argue that Matt Barlow is not the one and only true vocalist for this band.

  • The Body’s in The Shop. Parts and Labour: $10

    Tomorrow nite, Rhode Island sludge/doom duo The Body are playing, fresh from their appearance at Montreal’s Mountains of Might fest. The gig was supposed to be at The Garage (The Body’s in The Garage!) but being weary of Sunday nite noise complaints, they switched venues. Thing is, The Shop was already booked, so this one’s…

  • Invasion – Orchestrated Kill Maneuver

    I’m not familiar with Invasion but I want to be! This album is pulverizing right out of the gate. Sonically, it’s intense and to a degree, even a little painful! Intercut with news reports from WWII, Orchestrated Kill Maneuver is brutal and unrelenting.

  • Dawnbringer – Nucleus

    I feel this band always had this kind of album in them and now have fully realized their potential in Nucleus: a glorious heavy metal album that should put a shit-eating grin on every metal head’s face.

  • Murderdolls – Women And Children Last

    Women And Children Last isn’t a good “metal” album, it could at least be seen as a decent hard rock or hair metal record.

  • Zoroaster – Matador

    While this is a pretty decent record in its own right, I’m somewhat saddened that Zoroaster has moved away from its own unique take on southern sludge towards a sound that can be filed next to Farflung, The Atlas Moth, and countless other bands.
