There are few places in the United States that have experienced a more significant explosion in both the quantity and quality of metal music being produced than in Colorado. Over the past several years, bands like Khemmis, Dreadnought, Necropanther, Of Feather and Bone, Primitive Man, In the Company of Serpents,…
Greetings unto thee, Heaviest of All Bloggers! Come with me as it is nearing our time once again! The summer is slowly fading, the heat gently abating. The longer the days get, the shorter the wait until darkness comes! Autumn really is one of my favorite times of year. There…
We’d be missing a trick by not mentioning the two bands whose members have birthed Rowsdower, the vibrant sludge band who’s brand new LP we’re premiering today. Two of the angriest, heaviest bands to ever come from the sunny West Coast, Admiral Angry and Black Sheep Wall are famous for…
