Amon Amarth – Surtur Rising (2011) Review

Amon Amarth is one of the few bands from my silly teenage years that I still listen to (Rotting Christ being the only other one I can think of off the top of my head).  There’s a reason why: their uber in-your-face viking music appealed to young, angry me,...

Solution .45 – For Aeons Past (2010) Review

OBITUS March of the drones

Obitus – The March of the Drones (2009) Review

Obitus is a two man band hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden. Johan Huldtgren does all the vocals and Anders Ahlbäck plays all the instruments. They are absolutely not Gothenburg style metal (melodic death, that is). They play straight forward, icy, black metal that assaults your ears. The songs are filled...
