Black Metal Vs. Death Metal. Explained by Warbringer

For those of you who don't know the difference between these two genres of metal, this is a pretty good explanation. This is really a good video for my not so metal friends. One could easily dive deeper into the formations of the two genres, but this is a good lesson skimming the surface. Plus I love the Warbringer guys, so cheers to them! #JustForFun

Top 10 2017 Metal Albums as Chosen by 10 Killer Metal Drummers!

Suffocation "Of The Dark Light" picked by: JAY BLAISDELL of ABNORMALITY https://abnormality.bandcamp.com/ If I have to pick a favorite album of 2017, I think I have to go with Suffocation's "Of The Dark Light". It's definitely been the record that got the most plays for me this year. I've always been a huge fan, and Suffocation has been a major influence on me. When Abnormality got to tour the US with them in 2016, it was one of the best experiences of my life. We were partyi

Heaving Earth Heaving Earth is dark, brooding, evil death metal with direct heavily influenced by old school death metal greats Morbid Angel (their namesake), Immolation, and Incantation. The band features a couple veterans of the Czech death metal scene and presents a very high level of musicianship. Ahumado Granujo Ahumado Granujo is a brutal goregrind band in the vein of Jig-Ai and Blood Duster. The unique thing about this band is they combine ultra brutal guttural style

Atlanta's Paladin is ready to shred your face off!

Atlanta, Georgia has blessed us with many metal bands from all sub-genres. However, Paladin kicks it old school with power metal that brings back the glory days of what pulled us into metal to start with. Featuring guitars by Taylor Washington and Alex Para, this two-pronged attack is reminiscent of a little Iron Maiden, a little thrashy Skeletonwitch and a sound all their own, blending into one very satisfying delivery. The two tracks on "Demo 2017" wet our appetite for more

Pre-Order a Cassette of Enisum's "Seasons of Desolation"!

Think cassette tapes are only a thing of the past? They are not, and so if you are a collector, this is one not to be missed! "Seasons of Desolation" by Italy's Enisum is an emotionally raw and brutally savage release following in the tradition of 2015's "Arpitanian Lands". Enisum have managed to mix elements of atmospheric black metal and doom metal into ten perfect songs for this album. Not into cassettes, that's cool...for a digital copy of the album, please visit avantg

From the Tunnel to Hell : Imperial Circus Dead Decadence

From Japan, this band starts as you would expect other Japanese metal bands to begin: classical baroque music, lots of orchestration, clean vocals… but then the growling roars and takes the experience to another more extreme level. The clean vocals are not my cup of tea, but the guitar riffs are effective and as I said before; the growling/screeching/pig-squealing are amazing. It’s good to have something very brutal coming out of a style we’re used to being very “polite”. Wi

5 Great Underground Bands from around the World: Portland!

Portland’s music scene has always sought to remain firmly planted in the roots of different genres, and been deathly afraid of watering anything down. With punk rock, the scene has always had a “meta” sort of feel in that a lot of music that other communities would call “punk” would be called “mainstream” by Portland punk rockers. Portland’s metal scene is like that. What’s brewing in Portland is a heavy blend of doom and black metal. The bands here strive to capture the orig

From the Tunnel to Hell : Pseudo/Sentai

Pseudo/Sentai is the super powered themed metal band you didn’t know you needed in your life. With lyrics like: “Meta-Morphing Time!” you would expect this band to be humoristic and a bit silly, well you would be wrong. Their music is hypnotic, prog-oriented and will make you forget their Power Rangers album cover if you let it (but please don’t, because it’s awesome). The singer makes the music very accessible; which is often a bad thing with metal/rock, but it actually make

5 Great Underground Metal Bands from Around the World: Chicago!

CIANIDE For around three decades, Cianide has been creating their own brand of filthy death metal. Their songs vary from massive pummeling doom to straightforward aggressive numbers, but they all possess Cianide's signature sound. The band's earlier works helped put Chicago on the old-school death metal map, and the band has remained a powerful force in recent years through a steady output of strong new material, festival appearances, and the occasional local show. They have

From the Tunnel to Hell : Rainbowdragoneyes

Let me try to make your ears accustomed to a black sheep of music: Chiptune. I don’t know for you, but old school video games have been a big part of my childhood and seeing people making tributes to this era is nice, but it has to be done right. Rainbowdragoneyes is part of this very small elite of bands that do chiptune metal right. I must admit that I had a hard time with the autotuned vocals at first, but they fit quite well with the rest so it makes a cohesive enough mix

10-Lesbian "Hallucinogenesis" Former members of the Accused formed this band back in 2007. Perhaps back then they might have been doom, but now they are proggy death metal. The vocals are varied and a good blend of sung vocals and growls. The opener has almost a black metal like throb to it. I like the fact that these guys are really dark. In some ways it makes me think of what might have happened if Acid Bath collided with Cynic. There are space like keyboard sounds zooming

Dirty Granny Tales This is not a review of a recent album; I’m simply trying to raise awareness for bands that dwell deep into the underground and that deserve some lights. And trust me; Dirty Granny Tales deserve all the light that can shine on them simply for their uniqueness. Many key words can describe this band but none of them really gives them justice. Acoustic Theatrical Black Metal with a falsetto singer would be a start, but it’s so much more than this. Mouldbreath
