Pestilence has recorded their first record in 15 years. Expect more brutal, heavier and faster songs than any old Pestilence album.

Out Of The Body, Chemo Therapy and Lost Souls were voted most. The songs are lyrically more in the vein of “Consuming Impulse”. Meaning, they re more reality-style than religious or philosophical. Some so (more…)

There’s a fine line between being funny and being a joke. Thankfully, the debut album from Dethklok, the band at the core of Adult Swim’s hit animated series Metalocalypse lands squarely in the former category. Performed by series co-creator Brendon Small (Tommy Blacha is Small’s creative partner)–with a lot of help from metal drum legend Gene Hoglan (Death Angel, Strapping Young Lad)–songs such as “Birthday Dethday,” “Face Fisted,” and “Awaken” tap into the unapologetic musical (more…)

“Violence begins to mend what was broken.” Boy, how he does it.

You could have passed it off as a fluke. Remission was an awesome album, helping revitalize metal and bringing the band much deserved notice. Leviathan was a gigantic leap, perhaps the most ambitious metal album in years. But could it keep going? People were concerned–-side glances were given, hand wringing began as Mastodon moved to a major. And for what? Turns out for nothing. Blood Mountain is flat-out amazing. If anything, it is another leap forward, both experimentaly (more…)
