Gaerea – Coma Review
2019 was a horrific year for many people. Myself included. I relied heavily on music to make it through that year, and no album was more important to my mental health, than the immeasurably cathartic Limbo, from Gaerea. Limbo was my introduction to the band, and from the first time I heard it, it meant…

Concert Review – Fragmenting North America Tour
Featuring: Skeletal Remains/Bewitcher/Phobophilic/Torture Rack/Wülfskol This past Thursday, I had the opportunity to see this outstanding show at Scout Bar in Houston, Texas.

Satan – Songs in Crimson Review
Formed in 1981, Satan were, for a brief period, the hardest and fastest of the NWOBHM bands releasing, in 1983, the magnificent Court in the Act. The promise the band showed back then was off the scale and many a young metal fanatic, myself included, assumed that they would be ‘the next big thing’. However, like…

Kanonenfieber – Die Urkastrophe Review
Whew! I can say that Die Urkastrophe is Kanonenfieber’s best work yet. This album will definitely be in my top albums of 2024. With that said, let’s get into it! If you aren’t familiar with this band, I’m going to give a quick rundown. Kanonenfieber is a German anti-war melodic death/black metal band. Noise (of…
