Technical death metal project Flub has always been one to watch. Featuring members of Vale of Pnath and Rivers of Nihil, they’ve certainly got the credentials, but there’s more to making good music than having been in other good bands. Indeed, Flub’s 2014 EP Advent showed that they can blend an upbeat vibe and progressive elements into a technical sound to create their own niche. Now, they’re back with “Wild Smoke” and an upcoming full length album to blow you away.
I mentioned this when I was writing up my stoner metal round-up but it bears repeating: Irata’s upcoming release, Tower, is some of the best stoner metal I’ve heard in a while. It has this effortless air to it and a charm, as if Irata just let things roll off…
O quality melodeath, where art thou? A valid question in my estimation, as outside of well known subgenre firebrands such as Insomnium, Be’lakor, and Dark Tranquility (who, in case you aren’t aware, have been around for a considerable amount of time), there’s been little new and exciting in the world…
Yes, you read that right; this is an Eden post yet it’s for some high octane, no holds barred death metal. What can I say? Sometimes you just need to cleanse your palette and Hypoxia’s latest track is just what the doctor ordered. Sporting one Mike Hrubovcak (Monstrosity), plenty of…
The story of the video we’re premiering today is, in many ways, the story of my journey with this band. It starts off as just a simple, if enjoyable, jaunt; a few friends go into the local forest to have fun, drink alcohol, and generally cut loose. So too was…
Last year, we told you several times to listen to Skullcave, a doom metal band doing extremely interesting things in Australia. It was part of a larger, most excellent year for the continent but Skullcave was the band closest to doom as part of it. Their emphasis on emotive clean…
Last year, my mind was blown when I randomly clicked play on an email about a band called Soldat Hans. The sheer force of the funeral doom that cascaded on me, merged with drone, post-rock, jazz, and more was almost unbearable; the album instantly became one of my favorite releases…
Take your nerd-ass “WINTER IS COMING” nonsense and chuck it in the garbage. Winter is gone. Spring is here. More importantly, Tulip is here. (Oh relax, I’m not really being serious about chucking everyone’s favorite fantasy TV series in the garbage. I’m also guilty of getting in too deep to…
Friends and comrades, it is time to Doom. Specifically, it is time to become familiar with a band called Blind Monarch who are set to release their debut album tomorrow, the 5th of April 2019. We are more than proud to be premiering said album right here for you today,…
One day after premiering Brady to the world, we’re back with another member of the Flesh and Bone Records roster: the Syracuse, New York shoegaze quartet Trench, who are debuting the video for “Liminal” from their record Ritual Love, which was released in September of last year. Since their formation…
