Death Rattle has been making some noise and drawing attention with the release of their first two singles. Keeping the momentum from their recent U.S. tour and current Liquid Metal radio support the New England Metal band return with their 3rd song and music video- “Nietzsche, and the Fall” featuring vocal contributions from Bjorn “Speed” Strid of Soilwork/The Nightflight Orchestra. “Nietzsche…” shows another facet of Death Rattle’s sound with a darker vibe that doesn’t lose sight of the hook.

The blackest wave of black metal will undoubtedly come from a act whose name speaks for itself: Abbath will play the songs of Immortal!

ALBUM REVIEW: Exhumed – To The Dead – Relapse Records
Besides writing reviews and attending shows, I have both full time and part time jobs, a family and too many cats. It’s safe to say that I like to stay busy but I have nothing on Exhumed founder and frontman, Matt Harvey. In this year alone he toured with both Gruesome and Death tribute band Left To Die (performing Leprosy in its entirety!) If that’s not enough, he somehow conjured up more hours in a day to write and record Exhumed’s latest batch of gore soaked madness, To The Dead (Relapse Records).
