FEATURED ALBUM Eidola // MendReleased: January 17, 2025 Eidola blew me away last year, placing eighth on my album of the year list. Now, at the start of 2025, they’re already back with another full length album. Let’s see if it’s just as impressive. I provided a lot of Eidola’s Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Knocked Loose // A Tear In The Fabric Of LifeReleased: October 13, 2021 ‘A Tear In The Fabric of Life’ is one of the best metalcore EPs of all time. It even gives the Zombie EP from The Devil Wears Prada a run for its money. I don’t Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Paleface Swiss // CursedReleased: January 3, 2025 What a huge miss. Other bands must be thanking Paleface Swiss for setting the bar so low. 2025 can only get better from here. To be honest, I didn’t get the hype when ‘Fear & Dagger’ came out in 2022 because it was Read more
FEATURED ALBUM As I Lay Dying // Through Storms AheadReleased: November 15, 2024 …And it was over before it even began. Tim Lambesis just cannot keep it together, and it’s such a shame because this is my favorite As I Lay Dying album since ‘An Ocean Between Us’ from 2007. Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Reflections // ShadowReleased: November 29, 2024 Reflections is an unstoppable machine. This three-song EP was written by Jake Wolf (vocalist of Reflections) and Calle Thomer (guitarist of Vildhjarta), and it was produced by Buster Odeholm (guitar, bass, and drums for Humanity’s Last Breath). It is essentially a follow-up Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Counterparts // Heaven Let Them DieReleased: November 7, 2024 Counterparts just dropped a surprise EP, and it’s insane. This is the darkest, heaviest version of the band yet. Brendan Murphy seems to have forgotten that he was recording vocals for Counterparts instead of End. For the uninitiated, this EP Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Falling In Reverse // Popular MonsterReleased: August 16, 2024 Falling In Reverse is one of the most controversial bands in the metal community. Fronted by Ronnie Radke, a man with an unsavory past who takes pride in being a dickhead, it’s no surprise that FIR has rubbed some Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Peelingflesh // The G CodeReleased: September 6, 2024 Incredible things are happening in the slamming brutal death metal (SBDM) genre. It’s bigger than it’s ever been, and it’s being led by a new wave of young bands. I didn’t mean for this to be such a long review, Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Kingdom of Giants // Bleeding StarReleased: September 20, 2024 Kingdom of Giants is finally back with new music. I have to say, I’m kind of surprised. These guys spent 10 years absolutely grinding it out before they finally caught a huge break on their 2020 album. And then Read more
FEATURED ALBUM Blood Incantation // Absolute ElsewhereReleased: October 4, 2024 I’m a little out of my depth here, but this album is so cool that I want to share some thoughts, even if they have already been better articulated elsewhere. I first heard Blood Incantation when their 2019 album started Read more
