blackened death metal \ California \ Hells Headbangers \ Los Angeles \ Nestor Avalos \ United States
Though part of the original guarde of black metal in the United States, I’ve never really considered Demoncy to be black metal, though I have always considered them to be awesome. Their earlier work certainly hearkens back to the early 1990s wave from Norway, but as time went on they developed their own, Californian, […]
blackened hardcore punk \ blackened punk \ blackened rock \ blackened thrash \ Dahmer Art \ Hells Headbangers \ Japan \ Karl Dahmer \ Oregon \ Portland \ Tokyo \ United States
I usually complain about splits, primarily because one band outweighs the other, but let’s forget about that today because this is not such a case. This is Abigail fools! The rulers of splits! The kings of splits! The god emperors of splits! The demiurges of splits! Say it how you want, but these guys […]
barbaric blackened death metal \ Berkati Cakra \ Hells Headbangers \ Ohio \ United States
Any time you see art by Berkati Cakra, you know you’re in for a slammer. And this may be one of the most over-the-top images I’ve seen him craft. Here’s it fits the music so well it might be his best, and trust you me he’s done a lot of blasphemous necroworship. Just look […]
Abomination Hammer \ Canada \ corrupted black metal \ Hells Headbangers \ Manitoba \ Winnipeg
This one surprised me. In many ways it features forms that are quite standard to black metal as a whole, specifically second-wave, yet there are variations that, though they’d at first seem only slightly atypical, are instead strangely unique. Canada’s Nocturnal Departure relies heavily on the old school, but the new school they’re peddling […]
Australia \ Hells Headbangers \ Juan José Castellano Rosado \ Juanjo Castellano \ Melbourne \ nihilistic death metal \ Victoria
Holy…mahgucking…sheissefreide… I mean how else do I start this review? Never before has an EP assaulted me in such a way and satisfied so many dark desires in only five tracks. I usually see them thin-tracked promos and think ugggghhhh but I always give them a quick go. This was not a quick go. […]
Detroit \ Hells Headbangers \ Michigan \ psychedelic doom metal \ Shagrat \ spooky doom metal \ United States
This is what you call a masterpiece. And that’s great because honestly before this moment I always yawned when I saw the name Acid Witch. Lol sorry dudes. Dragging themselves behind the better acts in psychedelic doom, though I enjoyed their themes and often hilarious wordplay, they just didn’t offer much other than imagery […]
Athens \ Attica \ Greece \ Hells Headbangers \ macabre romantic black metal \ Mark Riddick
They have…returned. I was first made privy to Medial Demon over a year ago upon reviewing their last full-length, Arcadian Witchcraft. Mixing macabre romanticism with occult horror was a nice mix, including church organ in the instrument line-up, which lent a sound in fitting with their themes. This time around, though still carrying that […]
Hells Headbangers \ Italy \ regressive metal \ retro thrash metal \ thrash metal \ Tuscany \ Velio Josto
I like the way these guys play, on two counts. One, the literally playing of the music, and two, the playing with the audience. Not so easy a task when you be playing that retro type of thrash, which can sink into its own past too often and lose the listener in bygone eras, […]
blackened speed punk \ Cleveland \ Hells Headbangers \ Ohio \ United States
Nasty stuff this one. What can I expect from a guy who played guitar and drums for Demona holy shit? For whatever reason, and I don’t care to ask, he struck it out on his own with this act, HAMMR, right around the same time aforementioned Chilean speed metal harpy girl all but disappeared […]
Guang Yang \ Hells Headbangers \ Ohio \ Satanic death metal
Nunslaughter is a band that needs no introduction, and I’m a fool for even wasting your time to write that. With one of the most prolific, and dedicated, discographies of any band in existence, they’ve often been given credit for their total refusal to change anything about their approach since their inception in the […]
