Hi, what are you looking for?
Like it or not, the two-thousand-teens are the decade of Prog. Those inclinations needn't be manifested by way of King Crimson clones – the split second...
Each week on ‘Throwback Thursday’ we dust off a crucial but underrated album, without which heavy metal’s evolution would have turned out quite differently....
So, it would probably be a fair assumption that if you were considering getting this album, you’re a prior fan of Voivod. And, if...
Becoming The Archetype present their latest album with the added pressure of introducing new bandmates to the mix. Whenever a vocalist leaves a band,...
Dublin, California could just be another American city with a borrowed European name, lest it not be for a band comprised of arguably some...
Epic. Masterpiece. Mind-blowing. Superlative, superlative, superlative. It's hard to hide my excitement here; Portal Of I, down to its final note, is the perfect...
Legendary British heavy metallers Angel Witch have risen from the grave (once again) with their first studio album since 1998’s Resurrection. This new album,...

I have a special place in my heart for thrash, because that’s where it all started for me. The 90’s however were not kind...
