Read MoreSorrow’s Path is a Greek doom metal band that is more qualified than most to speak upon matters of doom and gloom. This band has struggled through the tragic death of one member and the debilitating motorcycle accident of another.
Read MoreToday we have Monoscream from Stockholm, Sweden and their full-length debut “Redemption" “Redemption” is the follow up to their EP, “Reborn.” I haven’t heard the EP to know how it compares, but “Redemption” sounds very well done...
Read MoreWell this isn’t the first time I’ve been late to the party. People have been clamoring praise for Eluveitie for a few years now but I never really climbed on the bandwagon.
Read MoreOn the schedule for today we’ve got Hymnosis, an unsigned band from Montreal. “Unmasking Faces” is their five-song EP of thrashy hardcore groove metal.

Read MoreKing Giant is another of my impulse purchases this week, and I have to say I’m rather embarrassed to find that I could almost spit and hit these guys, yet I’ve never heard of them.

Read MoreWhen the need for new music strikes me I’m like a junky sick for a fix. I start frantically looking around online for something I haven’t heard before that will satisfy my need...
