It’s nice. Yeah, nice is a half-hearted compliment, but I couldn’t come up with more: “Know My Name” is a catchy, melodic song with hardcore roots, and while it delivers on the lyrics, the video is… okayish. Just watch it yourself: It’s the classic “band […]
I’ve never expected Pig Destroyer to release another album. “Prowler In The Yard” is among my all-time favourites in the grindcore genre, and even “Book Burner” – even though it lacked the ferocity of the band’s earlier work – made it into my personal top […]
20 years ago, Turbonegro released “Apocalypse Dudes”. It’s a classic and undoubtely the best and most influential album of the norwegian punks. The following albums were kinda ok, but never came close to the level of chuzpe, charisma, and catchy songs. With the departure of […]
Ultha inked a deal with Century Media not long ago. The first result of this deal will be the release of “The Inextricable Wandering” in October. The band released a 14ish minutes long first impression of the new material, which totally blew me away. “The […]

Hamburg-based metalheads Endseeker made a huge step forward when they signed a multi-album contract with Metal Blade Records. The band released an EP and an album via FDA Rekotz, which both earned them a lot of attention. Playing as many shows as possible (until turning […]
Red Apollo relased their third album “The Laurels Of Serenity” some time ago. Now one might think that they – as an experienced – band the writing and recording of if was a smooth process. Turns out: it wasn’t. Red Apollo decided to talk about […]
which can’t compete with the one and only version out there. Well, to be exact: the australian metalcore heavyweights just showed off their new album with one song, but while “Feels Like I’m Dying” does convince with its visuals, both music and lyrics left me […]
“Disease” gives you one more reason for being so. Caleb Shomo the mastermind behind the band and its two stunning records, shows his skills as musician and author (in terms of: writing lyrics) again – and again, the result is a very strong, emotionally challenging […]
