Excited for the new Beartooth album?

“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

At The Gates lost me with “To Drink From The Night Itself”

Make no mistake: I fucking love At The Gates. Their early works got me into Death Metal and I totally love “Slaugther Of The Soul”. When I had the chance to see them live and later to attend their fantastic, legendary show at Wacken 2008,

Thrice release new video and announce release date for “Palms”

Thrice will release their Epitaph-debut “Palms” in two months, on September 14th. Since the predecessor “To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere” is a pretty cool album, the expectations for the 20th anniversary album are high.  The video for “The Grey” can soften the waiting for
