ALBUM REVIEW: Imperial Triumphant – Goldstar

Posted on by

Innovative avant-garde trio Imperial Triumphant are back, and once again the sprawling metropolis of New York City provides the backdrop. Showing the opulence, greed and decadence of the rich and shameless as a stark contrast to the grime and squalor of the less privileged is something the band already has down to a fine art but sixth full-length studio release Goldstar (Century Media Records) manages to refine it even further.Continue reading →


INTERVIEW: Richard Johnson of Drugs of Faith Talks Virginia Band’s New Album “Asymmetrical”

Posted on by

Richard Johnson, Ivan Khilko, and Ethan Griffiths have been the stable line-up for Virginia’s rollicking Drugs of Faith for a while now. Not only does the band have one of the coolest names in rock and metal, they have also never put out anything that wasn’t essential. The pattern continues with Asymmetrical, perhaps the unit’s most crackling and timely release to date. Out Feb. 21st via Selfmadegod Records, this album finds the grind n’ roll band asserting even more dissonance, precision, riff-perfection, noise grit, and concerned realism into their fierce sound.Continue reading →

CONCERT REVIEW: SepticFlesh – Vltimas – Stormruler – SIGLOS Live at DNA Lounge

Posted on by

In terms of a normal year for me, this has been anything but normal for attending concerts so far. This is actually been a good change. I decided for my health mental and physical well-being that I need to do less concert and Festival-going than in the past. Five years ago, I might have been at a show 6 days a week when I lived in Brooklyn. Now I’m down to a few every few months. Even though I do suffer from some fomo, I am picking and choosing my spots of when to make an appearance in the local scene here. We’ll see if it keeps up. Not attending my first show until mid-month February is weird for me, let’s just say that.Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: Scour – Gold

Posted on by

Trading Louisiana sludge for a more European soundscape, black metal act Scour is the latest project from Phillip H. Anselmo, the former frontman of Texan bruisers Pantera and New Orleans supergroup Down. Although quite some distance away from his usual musical stamping ground, this isn’t the first time Anselmo has turned his hand towards black metal, but where the likes of Eibon and Viking Crown merely laid the groundwork, it’s with Scour where all the pieces have finally come together.Continue reading →

You either love Beatdown Death Metal and all its violence-even-though-it’s-carefully-controlled live atmosphere, or you think it’s a bunch of amped-up spinkickers with no respect for their surroundings.Continue reading →
