Singles from….
Act of Defiance, The Black Dahlia Murder, Slayer, Fear Factory, Parkway Drive, Disturbed
Tune in to the mosh pit to hear them!

CUT UP
Forensic Nightmares
Metal Blade
100% brutal death metal… great solos, fast, technical and yeah, I’ll say it again… Brutal!

Lindemann
Skills In Pills
Warner
When you have a solo project from Rammstein’s frontman, you can expect it’s going to sound a bit like Rammstein right?  Well, it does and that’s not a bad thing.   It’s probably not quite as heavy and more melodic… but there are some good heavy moments, just not “FAST” heavy.

Robots and Monsters
Down To Ash
(self)
A hardcore/metal commercial metal mix going on with some cool catchy stuff too.

Refused
Freedom
Epitaph Records
I can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan of these guys, as they’re primarily punk and they were just off my radar.  Well, this new album lets me take a fresh look… it’s not too shabby, a bit punky, but hardcore and just plain metal and hard rock stuff going on.

Thy Art Is Murder
Holy War
Nuclear Blast Entertainment
Heavy, techy death metal with a math metal/meshuggah feel just from the proggy standpoint… otherwise, it’s good ol technical brutal death metal! \m/

Runaway Kids
Better Days (EP)
Mediaskare
Punky emo metal, yeah the songs are catchy, but I’m not quite sure this is for the Mosh Pit.

GLOWSUN
Beyond the Wall of Time
Napalm Records
Big riffy doomy stoner metal with some pretty long ass songs.  Normally long doomy songs get kinda boring… this has some good metal moments going on.

Next To None
A Light In The Dark
InsideOut
This will always be the band known as the one with Mike Portnoy’s kid in it… but that’s not a bad thing.  This is actually some good stuff especially when the band is made up of like 15 year old and they’re throwing out some prog metal beyond their years.  Yeah it’s a lot like some older Dream Theater, but also throw in a little Slipknot too.  The only thing that’s a bit rough are the vocals, but not enough to really ruin anything.

Demoncy
Empire of the Fallen Angel (Eternal Black Dominion) CD/LP
Forever Plagued
Doomy gloomy black metal.

Thornesbreed
GTRD
Art of Propaganda
Melodic blackened death metal.

AZAVATAR
AZAVATAR
Art of Propaganda
Decent classic black metal with good production

OHHMS
Cold
Label: Holy Roar Records
Two tracks of really long stoner metal.  The description said sludgey post metal… but it’s really not quite that bad.  Just some long tracks of doomy stoner metal.

Harrow
Fallow Fields
Label: Avantgarde Music
Another one of those black metal things… just decent doomy depressing black metal.

Dystopia Na
Dweller on the Threshold
Label: Avantgarde Music
Proggy doomy blackened metal…. going into some standard just prog rock type stuff.

Antonio Pantano
Arcandia
Label: Self-Released
Symphonic prog metal… yeah epic man.

ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS
Altered States Of Consciousness
Lifeforce
Instrumental prog metal.  Good stuff, lots of great guitar work

Strains
Redefine[d]
Famined Records
Some catchy melodic death or maybe a little bit of metalcore going on.

Barshasketh
Ophidian Henosis
Blut & Eisen Productions
Some classic old school melodic black metal.

Lothlöryen
Principles of a Past Tomorrow
Label: Self-Released
Folky power metal, kind of a nice change from lots and lots of black metal.

DISORDER
En El Rio Del Olvido
Label: Morbid Skull Records
Blackened thrashy death metal

DEATHHAMMER
Evil Power (CD, LP, TAPE)
Hells Headbangers
This sounds like something that may have come out in the early 80’s.   Just a super heavy fast classic thrashy thing… oh with satanic lyrics and stuff.  I think this is the “other” pick of the week.

BEARSTORM
Americanus
Grimoire Records
There seems to be a Mastodon thing going on here… guitar sound, a little bit of style, a proggy stoner metal thing, heaver in parts, more Clutch like in other parts pretty cool overall.

Blasphemy
Fallen Angel of Doom… LP/CD/MC
Nuclear War Now! Productions / Ross Bay Cult
raw death metal

Insulter
Blood Spits, Violences and Insults LP/CD
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Raw black/death metal… a bit too raw.  I’m pretty sure this is a few EPs (probably tapes) put together on one thing.  eh.

Ysengrin
Liber Hermetis DLP
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Doomy death metal

Aversion
Aversion
Self-Released
Black metal, cold, evil guitars, decent production, pretty harsh creepy vox.

Wilson
Right to Rise
Razor & Tie
Decent hard rock type stuff.  a little on the commercial side, but still a bit of an edge and good catchy songs.

Rest Among Ruins
Fugue
(Self-released)
Sort of a metalcore prog metal thing.  Clean and growly vocals… the clean vox are that singy kinda that typically ruins songs, but in this case, they aren’t all auto-tune sounding, and are prevalent throughout rather than just popping up out of nowhere.  the music is pretty catchy/proggy/brutal, so it’s a pretty well rounded package going on.

Pro-Pain
Voice of Rebellion
SPV
These guys have been around, you know what they sound like… well, in case you don’t, it’s thrashy metal with hardcore.  This album continues to carry the torch that is Pro-Pain.  No fucking around meat and potatoes metal.

Meaxic
Synergy
Karmik Flame Records
Hard to really throw a category on this one.  Proggy metal, clean vox, a bit “accessible” in parts… but really this is something that no commercial station would play, it’s got some cool emotion, metal guitars and proggy moments… so, yeah, it’s pretty cool.

Seize The Now
Victim
Revolution Records
A little bit of a Monster Magnet vibe vocally and musically I guess… mostly a hard rock thing with hints of stoner metal.

Perzonal War
The Last Sunset
Metalville Records
A bit thrashy, a bit just your standard “metal”  This is pretty decent catchy metal with some good drivin’ riffs and clean understandable vox, but with a little bit of an edge.

ISENMOR
LAND OF THE SETTING SUN
SELF RELEASED
21 June 2015
Folk Metal fairly heavy, but totally has that folk metal thing with violins n stuff going on.

Satanic Ripper
Southern Black Spells
Blood Harvest
Brutal black metal.  the production is a bit quiet, but you can hear everything and it’s just plain evil brutal.

Nahtrunar
Symbolismus
Altare Productions
Classic old school blast beatin’ black metal.  Production is ok, maybe a bit muddy, but this definitely has that classic black metal thing going on.

Dolentia
Iniciação Eversiva
Altare Productions
Another classic black metal release… this one has some decent production, vocals are screamed/growled, lots of blast beats, some cool solos, and an overall cold/evil feel round this out.

Névoa
The Absence of Void
Altare Productions
More black metal… this one is a bit more melodic and atmospheric.  When you listen to a lot of black metal in a row, it gets to be a bit much though.

HUMANGLED
Prodromes Of A Flatline
Bakerteam Records
Thrashy melodic death metal, more on the death metal side than the melodic side.  Good clean production, brutal vox and sick riffage going on.  (my “other” pick of the week!)

MY REFUGE
A Matter Of Supremacy
Bakerteam Records
Heavy power metal, classic guitar work, drums, etc.  Good powerful vocals, a bit more of a metal edge in the music than typical power metal.

UZZIEL
Torn Apart
Dr. Music Records
This actually reminds me of Pro-Pain a little bit.  Some hardcore infused thrashy metal.  Catchy, yet a bit brutal and even melodic too.

NIGHTBREED
NIGHTBREED
WITCHES BREW
Great classic thrash.  This gets extra heavy and how thrash should sound.

NADIMAC
MANIFEST PROTIV SUDBINE
WITCHES BREW
Another heavy heavy  brutal thrashy thing.  Vox are screamed pretty good, however, they’re from Serbia, and I believe the lyrics are screamed in Serbian or something… it actually adds to the charm.  Great brutal heavy stuff.

EXCIMER
THRASH FROM FIRE
WITCHES BREW
A tripple thrash threat going on here to finish out the week.  More brutal heavy thrash with a classic thrash attitude!

Tempel
The Moon Lit Our Path
Prosthetic Records
Melodic doomy black metal, kind of proggy with some maybe (older) Opeth dynamics… heavy, and melodic parts and long songs….and all instrumental!

KEN Mode
Success
Season of Mist
A punky stoner metal type thing.  Raw vocals, a bit of a groove in the music, some catchy stuff, but overall a bit grungy.

Mallory Knox
Asymmetry
SIN
Kind of an emo pop-hard rock thing.  Overall, it’s not bad hard rock stuff, just not really for the Mosh Pit.

High On Fire
Luminiferous
eOne
This is how big bad stoner metal should be.  Extra heavy, raw, in your face and doing what they always do.

Edge of Paradise
Immortal Waltz
Pure Steel Records
Female fronted metal… a bit of a hard rock feel.  Vocal style is fairly straightforward singing with a little bit of rasp and going into clean vox.  Ok stuff.

Dew-Scented
Intermination
Prosthetic Records
Trashy, brutal, catchy, heavy… all the stuff that makes these guys awesome is all here in their new album.  They are not taking their foot off the gas.  Great stuff.

Mefitic
Woes of Mortal Devotion LP/CD
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Old school black metal with gurgly vocals, production is a bit muddy, but you can tell there’s some cool stuff going on.

Vattnet Viskar
Settler

ROLLING THROUGH THE UNIVERSE
Lethe
Hidden Temple Records

Nekromanteion
Cosmic Horrors 7″ EP
Iron Bonehead
Kind of a black metal with some thrash happening… production is pretty tinny.

Acrania
Fearless
Label: Self-Released
Experimental death metal from Mexico… horns, bongo drums and some jazzy stuff going on too giving it a latin feel…. this is pretty cool (must have open mind)

FIGHT AMP
Constantly Off
Brutal Panda Records
A bit punky in raw attitude, otherwise, it’s some metal with some stoner metal type qualities.

REANIMATOR
Horns Up
Self Released
Album title says it all.  Horns up!!  Classic thrash going on here… great catchy riffs and perfectly heavy.

Fuck The Facts – RADIO SINGLE ‘SOLITUDE’
Desire Will Rot
Noise Salvation
Kind of a stoner black metal… pretty cool stuff.

M.H.X’s Chronicles
Infinite Ocean
Label: Self-Released
Melodic death.  Pretty standard stuff, Iron Maiden riffs meet some thrashy death stuff with growly vox.. probably like a Dark Tranquillity or Hypocrisy

Lost Reflection
CARECROWD
Label: SG Records
A straightforward metal/hard rock thing with a pinch of thrash… but overall a heavy AOR type thing. A bit of an Alice Cooper vibe.

Graveyard Shifters
High Heels & Broken Bones
Eternal Sound
Thrashy metal with a little bit of punk attitude, yet some melodic heavy stuff going on too. They seem to be not taking themselves too seriously too. Good stuff.

SHRAPNEL STORM
MOTHER WAR
WITCHES BREW
A basic groove death metal with some sludgey grungy guitars going on.

Gestalt
Infinite Regress
Label: Self-Released
Modern sounding black metal.  Production is a bit tinny, but the music is there.  Melodic stuff, evil vocals

HELLRAD
Things Never Change
Label: Self-Released
Sludgey metal…screamy/growly vox.

W. ANGEL’S CONQUEST
Taste of Life
Ferrrum
Just starting off, it’s reminding me a bit of some old Dream Theater… it’s going more into a standard heavier power metal area as we get in deeper.  Pretty good stuff.

MYRKUR
Hævnen (Single)
Relapse Records
Dark old school melodic black metal.  Intro for this single is pretty nice, leading up to something you’d think would be more like Satyricon-ish… but when it kicks in, it’s like they decided to cut over to a cassette recording of an old raw black metal band.  weird.  But the heavy stuff is fast and in your face and brutal/evil. This is just one 3:23 song.  I’ll need a bit more to really pass judgement.

Wrvth
Wrvth
Unique Leader
Technical proggy death metal.  Lots of great guitar work, brutal drums and vocals.  Some parts a little jazzy metal.  Great modern tech death stuff.

Demon Lung
A Dracula
Candlelight
Doomy metal with a bit of a atmospheric feel.  the Sound is fairly grungy/dingy/sludgey.  There’s still a bit of a melodic groove to it… as I get deeper in the album, it’s more straightforward doomy stoner metal.

Lucifer
Lucifer I
Rise Above
Doomy female fronted metal.  Good melody, a dark creepy feeling.

Sideburn
Evil Or Divine
Metalville Records
Melodic doomy metal with a classic sabbath type feel.  Clean vox, music has a big meaty riffy groove going on.

Caustic Method
The Virus
Pavement Music
A bit of a modern metal thing, like thrashy, almost Five Finger Death Punch stuff… it’s heavy, catchy, but just has a bit of a commercial feel to it.  Decent stuff.

Coffins
Perpetual Penance Double CD
Horror Pain Gore Death
Grindy doom stuff… a compilation of their stuff from varius EPs, outtakes, split EPs, live stuff, etc.

LEERE
Bleak
Gravity Entertainment
Basic, raw, old school black metal.

MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY
Shards Of Silver Fade
I, Voidhanger Records
Melodic Doomy experimental type black metal. Really long songs, lots of “atmosphere” going on.

NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION
Spleen Black Metal
Avantgarde Music
Doomy downtempo black metal. You got those cold guitars, abrasive vocals and just a classic black metal thing going on.

HOLLOW HAZE
Memories Of An Ancient Time
Scarlet Records
We got some quality epic power metal going on.  It’s a bit thrashy as well as heavy and gritty but also with that classic power metal feel.  I like to say it’s power metal with some balls.

Dying Humanity
Deadened
Bastardized Recordings
Melodic death stuff, some great catchy groovin’ riffs going on.  Great dual vocal styles and just a good classic lighter death metal mixed with some proggy melodic stuff. Probably my “other” pick of the week.

Tyrant Goatgaldrakona
Horns in the Dark LP
Blood Harvest
Dark brutal raw death metal…. it’s a bit grindy, but with a bit of a groove too.

Hard Action
Sinister Vibes
Svart Records
Hard driving rock/almost metal.  A little punky in vocal style, otherwise, it’s some driving catchy almost southern metal/rock.

The Exploding Eyes Orchestra
I
Svart Records
More of a folky classic rock thing… not metal… move along.

Child of Caesar
Love in Black
Inverse Records.
Gothy doomy metal, like maybe Moonspell-light.

Carnalation
Ghosts
Inverse Records
Deathy melodic metal, so melodic death metal?  yeah.  But it’s more of some death metal basic sound with some of the proggy melodic metal on top.  Good stuff.

Amanita Virosa
Asystole
Inverse Records
Proggy death metal… yeah, blackened death with some keyboards and a prog metal feel going on too. Cool tech stuff going on.

Curse Upon A Prayer
Rotten Tongues
Inverse
Old school black metal sound, decent production, cold, evil sounding with a wall of sound-like production.

VoidCeremony
Dystheism 7″ EP
Blood Harvest
Old school thrashy black metal with some raw production.

Corpsia
Order from Chaos
Label: Self-Released

Proggy Power metal with a bit of an epic feel.  Big chroruses, big metal vocals.

Carnival Of Flesh

Good blackened death. It’s heavy, brutal, yet a bit of melodic stuff… it’s almost like Behemoth but mix in a pinch of Soilwork.
