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,...
Mirrorthrone – Gangrene (2008) Review
This is by far my favorite Mirrorthrone album to date. To say this album is ambitious is an understatement, especially considering that the band is really just one guy (Vladimir Cochet) doing all the instrumentals and composition and such. The music is sweeping and grandiose, and it’s full of...
Son of Aurelius – The Farthest Reaches (2010) Review
Son if Aurelius is a hell of a lot of fun. These guys are a technical death metal band hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, and from what I’ve seen they’re a lot better than most (not all, most) of the death metal being produced in the US. Their sounds...Cynic – Re-Traced: Cynic to Release a Remix Album

Got djent? on a more serious note, periphery is a progressive metal band from the USA. I honestly can’t classify them, they combine death metal, technical death metal, avant garde, prog rock, techno, hardcore, and some pop even, into their sound. This album starts slowly, in a quite generic...
Krisiun – Southern Storm (2008) Review
You can read my bad rambling, or you can skip to Bottom Line at the bottom and get my short and simple version. Well I haven’t written anything in a while, so I thought it was about time for me to write a review, and why not write about...
Illdisposed – For Those Who Walk Behind Us (2009) Review
I’ve been listening to Illdisposed now for about a 3 years now, and when this album came out, it was exactly what I expected. This album could easily compete with their previous albums. It is pretty much your normal Illdisposed album with its heavy riffs and its brief periods...
