Ferrous Oxide: Devil’s Plaything
Ferrous Oxide is the girl you take home to mom on the first date and marry the same night. Never before has there been such an unknown act with so much promise and skill in metal. Sometimes we call things a real crying shame, but this is more than that, it’s Victorian post-mortem black dress […]

ism: Demo
Don’t be fooled by the powerviolence tag you’ll find on the Bandcamp page we have nicely linked below, because there’s not a bit of that in this. So, sorry, no girlfriend-in-side-project cameos that were clearly to make sure an “evening of fun” took place, as much as you’d want that to happen. But, hey, that’s […]

No Trust: Unfound
There are lots of these two-piece bands around nowadays, maybe because talent is getting thin. And it’s not an easy thing to achieve, for a very simple reason.

MirrorBlaze: Triumph of the Villain

MirrorBlaze are a three-piece thrash outfit from Bangladesh who banded together in 2007. Triumph of the Villain is their first full-length, […]

Cadaveric Fumes Interview
This French band may have just delivered the best death metal recording of the year, OK, it’s From 2012, but who cares? No self-respecting death metal fan can go without Macabre Exaltation, the demo from French band Cadaveric Fumes. It is too late to snap the tape demo, so I strongly suggest that if you […]

Carcass: Surgical Steel
There is probably no album that better represents a step forwards and a step back than Surgical Steel, while removing any negative connotations of those phrases. Let’s not kill it by blanketing all of music, though, we don’t give ourselves that much credit, but at least as far as metal is concerned these guys have done […]
