As you might have noticed from the usually filthy caliber of bands I do my best to recommend to you lot with this little space, I'm not really tech guy. It's a personal paradox, as in real life (you know we all use fake names and adopt secret identities…

It took the best part of three decades, a handful of different bands several forays into unfamiliar territory like an acoustic album and a participation in Shrinebuilder, but Scott "Wino" Weinrich is finally getting the ample, universal recognition withi…

First of all, Godstopper is a great name. It conjures up images of a nonchalant warrior, smoking a fag while he stops god once and for all, while looking at us with a 'what was the big deal about this guy, then?' sort of expression. Well, it does for me,…

Got anything to do on April 25th? If nothing pressing comes to mind, you should take a bit off your day to visit your local record store and purchase a fine album of music entitled 'Eklectric'. Even if that jumble of words crystallized into a made-up but…

Abaddon Incarnate are one of those bands that have seemingly been around for ages, that everyone seems to say they like when you bring them up, but never quite got the recognition it is obvious they deserve when listening to their discography. Their no-f…

Let's not spend too much on this one, some things don't really need to be too over-analysed or over-rationalised even, especially when it comes to grind. Grind Greber is, grind you greber will, and furthermore they will do it without the aid of a single…

Who would have thought? That a little grind (sort of) project started by that guy from December Wolves who also picked up second guitar for Backstabbers Inc and that other guy who used to scream for the latter would turn into this? Back then in the begin…

Even if you don't know them very well, the name Grayceon might be somewhat familiar to you. Not only has this San Fran band been around for a few years, but also because guitarist/vocalist Max Doyle and drummer Zack Farwell play in thrashers Walken and c…

I've been on a zombie kick lately. Don't know what reawakened a fascination that dates back to when I used to watch zombie splatter films with my mom as a kid (which might have helped prepare the grounds for my easy acceptance of extreme metal's imagery…

Sometimes it's easy to do this writing thing. It's just a matter of connecting all the dots. Like with Parhelion, for example. See that image up there? It's from the band's MySpace. The Free Online Dictionary defines parhelion as the plural of "a bright…

Seems my writing is like one of those bands that never manage to top their first demo: shortly after I asked you to vote on the best José's Band of the Week of 2010, it became apparent that it would be a two-horse race between Celeste and Admiral Angry,…

No, I haven't discovered an blacksludgecrust band from Bolivia (but if there is one, by all means email me about it) called All Of Them. Come on, we're still riding the sugar&wine high from Christmas and only two days away from swigging a few gallons…

\m/ CANADIAN METAL! \m/
Something had to pry me away from Royal Thunder, and this sure did the job! Yeah, Fenriz knows what he's talking about, usually, even if it sounds a bit silly as a song chorus and all. Of course, we all know that Canadian bands t…

Last week I had the pleasure of spending a fine afteroon at a very dear friend's place, and since we live quite far apart from each other I focused my full attention on the conversation being held rather than the music playing on the background. However,…
