THE GREAT OLD ONES
EOD : A Tale Of Dark Legacy
Season of Mist
A dark black metal.  A bit melodic, a little groove, a pinch doomy, but all evil.

STEPHEN PEARCY
Smash – DOWNLOAD
Frontiers Music s.r.l.
Classic hard rock stuff from the orginal frontman of Ratt.  Has a feel of the old Ratt musically too.

Lorna Shore
Flesh Coffin
(Outerloop)
Kind of a melodic blackened death type thing.  Extreme, brutal and atmospheric too.  A cool back and forth kind of like older Opeth, but the heaver stuff, is, like, more heavy.  Good stuff.

Sepultura
The Roadrunner Albums: 1985-1996
(Rhino)
This looks to be a box set of the older orginal good classic Sepultura on Roadrunner Recs.  Can never go wrong with these?

Power Trip
“Executioner’s Tax (Swing Of The Axe)”
(Southern Lord)
Kind of some just good old metal.  Decent groove, maybe a light thrash feel

Motionless In White
“Eternally Yours” [Single]
Roadrunner
So the first time I saw these guys live, they had that full on emo-hardcore look going on with the makeup and all that, and I thought it’d just be one of those bands/shows… but they blew me away and kept it heavy and melodic death-like.  This song, has a bit of that same feel, but really getting into what I first thought, some clean-emo-ish singy stuff.  no autotune stuff, but it’s kind of formulaic.

Aversions Crown
Xenocide
Nuclear Blast Records
Kind of a brutal metal core with some meeedly guitar and melodic stuff going on.  You know most of the time a band like this comes around and then some emo vox come on and ruin it.  None of that here.  Just brutal throughout.

Iron Reagan
Crossover Ministry
Relapse Records
Kind of a punked up hardcore.  They’ve been around a while, lots of short songs that don’t fuck around.  Good and heavy with a throwback old school thrash thing too.

Galactic Empire
Galactic Empire
Rise Records
Metal versions of star wars songs.  Live show videos look to be works of art with the band performing in storm trooper and a darth vader costume.  Great melodic technical metal.  Great stuff for the metal nerd in all of us!

Black Star Riders
Heavy Fire
Nuclear Blast USA
Basically Thin Lizzy with a new name.  Good classic hard rockin’ stuff.

Ghost Season
Like Stars In A Neon Sky
Pavement Entertainment
A little bit of a modern metal feel, some proggy metal stuff, some more just standard metal and yeah, a commercial hard rock/metal thing going on too.  catchy songs, melodic clean vox.

Azreal
Premonition
Music Gallery International
This is some cool melodic death with some more of a extreme death metal sound.  Good groove and a bit technical in parts too… and yeah kinda catchy as well.  good stuff.

John Garcia
The Coyote Who Spoke In Tongues
Napalm Records
Former Kyuss frontman… this is mostly acoustic, great vox, but just not really metal… cool laid back guitar/vox stuff

Crurifragium
Beasts of the Temple of Satan
Invictus
Grindy raw death metal

EPHEDRA
Can’-Ka No Rey
Argonauta Records
HEavy instrumental stoner rock… Good meaty grooves and a bit doomy too.

Palace of Worms / Ecferus
Split
Crown & Throne Ltd
Both are a bit of a grindy black metal with some death metal grooves.

Body Void
Ruins
Crown & Throne Ltd
Slugdey doom.  4 tracks and a couple are quite long.

Fabio La Manna
“EBE”
Label:  Self-Released (2016), Via Nocturna records (2017)
Instrumental Progressive Rock… a lot of laid back acoustic type stuff, but then it does get into a little bit of heavier stuff here and there…. but overall, a little bit new-agey.

Band: Mourning Dawn
Album: Waste
Label: Aesthetic Death
Interestingly, this album has 3 tracks each at 24:12.  All dark doom type stuff.

Band: Norunda
Album: Irruption
Label: Suspiria records
If I had to pick something this sounds like… probably some more modern Megadeth.  Decent heavy metal, with a tiny thrash… not really hitting a sub genre hard, just good “metal”.

Holycide
Annihilate… Then Ask!
Xtreem Music
Some classic thrash with a bit of a maybe old Prong/punk edge to it…or maybe a little hardcore… but definitely classic old school thrash riffage.  Good stuff!

Bestial Raids
Master Satan’s Witchery LP/CD
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Raw crazy fast blackened death metal.

SECTLINEFOR
“Anorexic Insect”
Label:  Self-Released
File this under experimental metal.  Some music, some acting type stuff, cinematic and electronic stuff too.  Just a bit too out there for me.

KAIRON; Irse!
Ruination
Svart Records
Kind of a psychedelic prog.  ALmost has a feeling of that new Opeth style of prog throwback… but this could be a more experimental “out there” version of it.

Ghost Avenue
Impact
Pitch Black Records
A thought I was listening to Metal Church for a second… good classic metal

Band: Starbynary
Album: Divina Commedia Inferno
Country: Italy
Label: Revalve records
This is the kind of prog/power metal that has it going on.  Good meaty heavy aggressive music with good clean vox, kind of like a heavier Dream Theater musically with a singer that is a bit more euro power metal.  Great stuff.

Skeletal
Dreadful Life
Inverse
Blackend death metal, great barked out growly vox, heavy and brutal death metal with massive groove too

Band: The Brood
Album: The Truth Behind
Label: Give Praise records
Grindy death metal but with a bit of a melodic groove too. Fast and short brutal songs.

The Mist
Phantasmagoria
Greyhaze Records
Kind of a mix of some Obituary meets classic thrash.  A bit raw, but heavy, grooving and catchy too

Tomb Mold
Primordial Malignity CD/LP
Blood Harvest
Grindy Brutal death metal.  Very brutal.

IC Rex
Tulen Jumalat
Saturnal
Black metal… a little melodic and kind of evil feeling.  There’s just a cold dark quality about this that just kind makes you think “what’s their problem?”

Haken – Aquarius
Release date: Friday, February 3, 2017
Haken – Visions
Release date: Friday, February 3, 2017

Contrastic
Contrastic LP Reissue (released on January 20th 2017)
Horror Pain Gore Death
Brutal, grindy, and yeah grooving and in your face too.  Some things might be out of place like the electronic video game sound intro, or maybe a little electronic part or piano here and there, but I think it adds a little to the charm.

Fight The Fight
“Fight The Fight”
Indie Recordings
Kind of a modern hardcore type thing.  Grooves, melody and a hard edge, yet still being heavy, accessible and catchy too.

Mutilator
Immortal Force
Greyhaze Records
Pretty raw production on this kind of old school thrash/extreme metal type stuff.  Kinda like an old heavy raw slayer.

Noctiferia
Transnatura
Label:  Nika Records
This is what the description says…  Metal – Industrial, Death, Black, Djent, Unplugged… and yeah, it’s all of that and more.  Maybe a bit goth and kinda ragtime, folk… neat stuff.

THE EVAPORATORS
Ogopogo Punk
(Mint Records)
Kind of a punky ska /pop punk/surf rock thing

Maze Of Sothoth
Soul Demise
Everlasting Spew Records
Brutal blackened death metal.. first thing comes to mind… seems like Behemoth.  Heavy has hell, and even a bit of melodic stuff (more black metal type stuff)  great stuff!

Oracle
Beyond Omega
Label: Independent
Melodic blackened death metal from Mobile Alabama!  Whoa!  This is some good stuff.  Catchy, brutal, grooving

Blood Region
For All the Fallen Heroes
Inverse
Melodic doomy death metal..> But there’s a lot of classic metal type stuff going on with guitar work… but a doomy death metal overtone.

KRATORNAS
Devoured by Damnation
Label:  Grathila Records
Grindy fast and in your face black metal.  No fucking around here, fast and furious

XENOGRAMM
The Wolf and the Hourglass
Label:  Self-released
Kind of some sci fi post rock type stuff.  It gets going into a little bit of melodic black metal type stuff here and there.

CYCLOCOSMIA
Immure EP
Label:  self-released
A little doom, a little goth… a little of an epic feel in parts too.  A little bit Lacuna Coil in style(without the female vox), maybe a little bit of an Epica thing too.

DEVIL-M
Hollow Earth
Dark Tunes
Kind of a new take on Marilyn Manson meets Rammstein.  Industrial/Electroni metal type stuff

T.S.O.L.
The Trigger Complex
Rise Records
Kind of a laid back thing with a little light punk feel

Cultural Warfare
Future Kill
M Theory
Classic thrashy type stuff, along with some good groove metal.  Just all in all great thrashy stuff… and yeah, they’re from the Bay Area, so they have a good base to work from!

wars
We Are Islands, After All
Spinefarm
At first with a good melodic keyboardy groove with a pinch of goth, it sounds like heavier Lacuna Coil musically… but vocally it’s more of a hardcore screaming… then we get to some melodic almost emo-core-ish singing too.

Firewind
Immortals
(AFM)
This band has been doing its thing for quite some time and great to have a new one!  This is how power metal should be… catchy, heavy, fast, a good edge and yeah a prog metal feel too.  Vox, music, production all top notch.

Unearthly Trance
Stalking the Ghost Radio Singles
Relapse
meaty doom.  Depressing and slow, but still heavy

Me And That Man
“My Church Is Black”
(Cooking Vinyl)
What. Is. This.!?  Why send stuff like this to metal radio?   Johnny Cash type stuff.  ugh.  I get the “darkness” of the sing title and stuff, but this is basically a country song.

Protest The Hero
Pacific Myth
Razor and Tie
I haven’t heard new stuff from these guys in a while.  They are one of my favorite of this metalcore thing… They seem to prog it up and they have a guy that can really sing without being all emo, or even growly.  Just everything works in this band.

VIPASSI
Sunyata
Season of Mist
Got the single of this a week or two ago… great technical instrumental melodic death type stuff.  A djenty almost Cynic feeling going on.  Great stuff.

Kind of a depressing doom.  Something in the bio says that they “further their exploration of absolute sonic dread”  And yeah, sonic dread.

NIDINGR
Surtr (Radio Promo)
Season of Mist
Blackened death metal… one song single so far… good melodic and cold black metal feeling, but a full on death metal feeling too

God Of Violence
Can these guys do wrong?   A light instrumental intro going right into that classic brutal Kreator sound.  I want more!

Twiztid
Nothing To You (Single)
MNE
This Korn-like rap metal band is back… never quite made the cut on the Mosh Pit before… probably not quite our thing.

Xandria
Theaters Of Demensions
Napalm Records
Epic symphonic female fronted (operatic) metal.  She gets a bit more of a standard clean female vocal in other parts too, so it’s not just full on opera singing… But it is pretty epic full classical/symphonic metal type stuff… and yeah the metal stuff does keep it kind of heavy in parts too, and other more power metal stuff too. A little folk stuff too.

HEAVY BABY SEA SLUGS
Teenage Graveyard Party
Label:  Heavy Baby Records
Kind of a sludgey punk/alternative thing.  Meh.

Ekpyrosis
Asphyxiating Devotion
Memento Mori
Good brutal death metal, Classic grooving stuff.

Brutal blackened death metal.  Maybe a little grindy, full on growly gurgles, blast beasts, fast everything.

Like Stars in a Neon Sky

A little bit of a modern metal feel, some proggy metal stuff, some more just standard metal and yeah, a commercial hard rock/metal thing going on too.  catchy songs, melodic clean vox.

This is a power metal/prog type of thing

Saatto
Label: Inverse Records

Good old grooving death metal with a little bit of a black metal vibe/evilness

RIDE FOR REVENGE
Thy Horrendous Yearning (LP)
Hells Headbangers
Kind of a doomy blackened stoner thing… maybe a little raw punk thing too

GLARE OF THE SUN
-Soil-
Lifeforce
Doomy post-rock/metal.  A bit slow and depressing, yet melodic and yeah sad…

Deserted Fear
Dead Shores Rising
Century Media
Great melodic death.  Huge grooves, big meaty riffs, catchy and heavy too.  A little bit of an Amon Amarth type of feeling

FALL OF CARTHAGE
“The Longed-For Reckoning”
Label:  MDD Records
A little bit thrash, a bit on the just standard modern new metal thing.  Catchy chugga chugga riffage, not quite heavy thrash, but just a basic thrash-tinged just good old “metal”

Tenebrae in Perpetuum
La Genesi: 2001-2002
Ordo MCM
LoFi black metal.   next.

Diablerie
The Catalyst vol. 1: Control
Primitive Reaction
Melodic death metal from Finland.  A good edge, a bit of a little power/prog metal feel with heavy keyboards… vox are abrasive with a good heavy sound.  You know what, it reminds me a bit of Strapping Young Lad!

Horn (Germany)
Turm am Hang LP
Iron Bonehead
This is melodic death with a little bit of a viking metal feel…and since they’re from Germany, they have that little extra edge… and to make it even more edgy?  it’s all in German too!

DEATHLESS LEGACY
Dance With Devils
Scarlet Records
This is some proggy female fronted metal.  Kind of a symphonic and epic feel… cool stuff that keeps it to the point and doesn’t mess around

Band: Axis Of Despair
Album: Mankind Crawls
Country: Sweden
Label: Give Praise records
Kind of a grindcore, but really a good grooving death metal too.

Band: HUMMINGBIRD OF DEATH / BEARTRAP
Country: USA
Label: Give Praise records | To Live A Lie | Here and Now Records | Riotous Outburst

LOL  this whole EP is One minute, 44 seconds long and 8 tracks betwen two bands.  Fast, to the point punked up metal.  fun.

Label: Nadir Music
Kind of a groove metal, a little stoner metal, a big meaty riff factory.

Now this is frickin’ thrash, man!  Fast, heavy, raw, almost brutal too, but just keeping that fast catchy heavy thrash thing.  Great stuff.

This was pretty cool and brutal, with a bit of a djent feeling… brutalcore… then a total melodic/mallcore type of clean vox chorus.  I just don’t know man.

Evil Force
Banging On The Pentagram
Label: Witches Brew
This is some classic thrashy stuff.  A little raw, but a decent basic classic thrash thing.

Trigon

BLACK ANVIL
As Was
Relapse
Kind of a classic black metal with modern production, a little pinch of a doom darkness, but overall a solid black metal groove going on.

KXM
Scatterbrain (Single)
RatPak Records
Ray Luzier, George Lynch, Doug Pinnick.  that should be enough to say right there.  This is the first single from their second album.  Cool stuff, proggy, catchy and grooving.

Code Orange
Forever
Roadrunner
Female fronted deathcore.  Brutal and meaty.  Breakdowns, maybe a little bit of a punk feel too.

Lo-Pan
In Tensions
Aqualamb
Almost a stoner metal type thing.  A little bit of a Tool feel… so a stoner tool type band.  Good stuff, good melodic hooks, solid hard rock stuff… just not really into the brutal metal thing ya know?  Yeah, and that’s ok.

Darkest Hour
“Knife In The Safe” / “Timeless Numbers” [Singles}
Southern Lord
Agressive abrasive and no fucking around.  brutal core type stuf with a little tech edge to it.

HI-TECH HATE
THE AMERICAN WAY
New Ocean Media
A little bit of a static X feeling, with a hard rocking metal type thing with some electronic stuff thrown in.  Heavy parts, catchy stuff, some more melodic parts too… Kind of a full package.  A bit on the commercial side of things though.

Six Feet Under
Sacrificial Kill – radio single
Metal Blade
Big meaty grooves, classic SFU here.  Great production and the new lineup is still crushing it.  Cant wait for more.

EX DEO – Radio Promo
The Rise Of Hannibal
Napalm Records
First single from the Kataklysm side project.  Symphonic death metal, a little on the doomier groove side of things for this track.  Looking forward to more.

Enemy Remains
No Faith In Humanity
Independent
Kind of starts off with a melodic death feel, but then really gets into more of a modern metalcore / Killswitch Engage type thing, clean and harsh vox alternating. Some cool catchy stuff and maybe a bit of a commercial metal feel too

Album: Black Serpent Rising
Label: Drakkar productions
Kind of a melodic death similar to Amon Amarth.  A heavy catchy groove but a dark feeling too

A little industrial, a bit goth, and melodic death.  female clean vox and growly vox too… and yeah, a bit prog metal too.

The Blaze
AFM Records
This is some uptempo melodic power metal.  Heavy on the keyboards and catchy grooves.  Vox are female, but with a great gritty edge.

Nightmare
Dead Sun
AFM Records
Similar to the Burning Point, it’s some proggy power metal with some strong edgy female vox.  Music gets a good heavy groove going and staying melodic too.  good stuff.

Some melodic death/viking metal.  A little pinch of folk with some solid grooving death metal type stuff.

Band: NeroArgento
Album: One Against All
Country: Italy
Label: Sliptrick records
I’m just going to go with their description here:  Style: NeroArgento is an explosive combination of grunge rock and electronic music, packed with orchestral influences mixed with acid, industrial and distorted sounds, without forgetting the metal edge that provides the sound with a more consistent impact

THE DRIP
The Haunting Fear of Inevitability
Relapse
Grindy and kind of thrashy-ish death metal.  B rutal, a little bit hardcore too.  Good stuff

Label:  Last Candle Productions
Atmospheric black metal… cold, depressing and echoey

25 Anos
Svart Records
A hardcore/punked up kind of almost death metal, great grooves, quick songs…. maybe some thrashcore type stuff.

THE UNGUIDED
Brotherhood
Napalm Records
Modern melodic death/metalcore type stuff.  The clean stuff is a bit more of the modern metalcore, but still not quite all like emo.  Just very clean going to the heavy abrasive stuff.  Kind of a good mix of things without going full mallcore.

Toke
Fifty Ton Nug
Horror Pain Gore Death
Good brutal classic death metal
