Lyxzén also revealed he has a new Fake Names record on the way, which is his project alongside Bad Religion guitarist […]
Signs Of The Swarm is celebrating signing to Century Media Records with a brand new single called “Unbridled.” Which is a pretty good name for the single considering this thing is out of fucking control. Listen as Signs Of The Swarm throws you to the ground over and over again until the final breakdown, which […]
Every society has institutions dedicated to keeping certain cultural traditions alive. American state capitals often have buildings earmarked for operas or symphony orchestras. Most countries have a ministry tasked with preserving essential landmarks and works of art. Likewise, the gentlemen in Bloodbath are dedicated to keeping the flame of death metal burning, lighting the way […]
The new Corpsegrinder animated music video for “Bottom Dweller” is adorable in the most violent way possible. The video features good ol’ Corpsegrinder playing the claw machine as he does, only to leave the arcade and find a zombie apocalypse has happened. Corpsegrinder rips and tears his way through the hordes and eventually finds a […]
Fallujah weren’t the first band in their style to try a less technical sound, and their transition can’t entirely explain why their 2019 LP Undying Light failed to shine as brightly as their name might suggest.

Sentient Ruin Laboratories, the Bay Area-based label who trades in everything from caustic war metal to blackened industrial, has had an absolute deathgrip on my listening habits as of late. I listen to a lot of different music from a lot of different places on a daily/hourly/minute-by-minute basis, but it seems that every other release […]
This new Counterparts single is killer, man. From the driving verses to the massive choruses, it’s the kind of song that’s going to tear you between wanting to throw down and wanting to stand there and scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs. Maybe try to do both at once? Lyrically, Counterparts vocalist […]
Darkthrone released Eternal Hails in 2021 and they’re already back with a brand new record! Darkthrone has announced Astral Fortress for October 28, which they’re describing as both vintage-sounding with its use of mellotron and synthesizer, and “seething with hell” in terms of lyrics. It’s also Darkthrone, so I’m not sure why anyone would expect […]
