Real metal lives and breathes guitars, both electric and acoustic. Together with stellar vocals, some steady, yet innovative drum work, and – perhaps and only perhaps – some keyboards, you’ll get yourself a metalhead’s delight. Now, by this token, if you are up to a bit of insane shredding, here is a piece for you.

We talk about Lawrence Wallace (Shadows in the Crypt, Lawrence’s Creation) and his latest project Moonlight Prophecy. The project’s decidedly very short debut EP Eternal Oblivion will get you living proof of outstanding and highly technical guitar musicianship.

The blurb delivers some thrash-infused, speedy … [...] Click to raid more!

Woe! Now I feel crucified, too. And it is not the normal culprits of the ritual metal department that did the deed this time.

No, Metalcore did it, of all things. 

I just finished with the newest EP New Breed from the Finnish gig Crucify the Faith. And let me tell ya, I already yearn for seconds, it is that good. Bands like Set Before Us or Enfeeble did have their moments, but this band here takes the cake.

So, talk about a furious crunch. This band really puts the pedal to the proverbial metal. This sounds (and … [...] Click to raid more!

Unholy Metal Crunch! What is this loudness torturing my eardrums? Something crude.

In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas Luciferi Excelsi? 

Well, almost, but blasphemously close enough. A juicy mix of a thrashy Heavy Metal beat, Death Metal, and deep, dark Black Metal. And the EP Goat Revenge from the Ukrainian horde Hellfire really puts the pedal to the metal on this one in a way seldom heard these days.

Unleashing full-blooded, highly potent riffs together with throaty Death Metal growls and Black Metal rasps, their tune will awake your head-banging urges, make no mistake. At times Goat Revenge sounds like a meatier, more energized sibling of the … [...] Click to raid more!

A Lie Nation - Begin Hate - Album Cover

If you fancy Extreme Metal, here is a piece for you. But no worries, this is not your usual metal outfit that, having lost its compass to confusion, calls itself Extreme Metal to be safe. And somewhat unsurprisingly, the record reaches us from the cold Scandinavian North, the cradle of much excellent metal.

The Finnish band A Lie Nation (read alienation) is poised to unchain their newest EP Begin Hate. The record vacillates between Thrash Metal, Death Metal, and a somewhat austere, but full-bodied brand of Black Metal. To be fair, the latter style predominates their tune to a large … [...] Click to raid more!
