Battlecross – Force Fed Lies – Music Stream

August 16, 2013

Thrash metal, pure and simple. Battlecross wastes no time ripping your face off with polka beats and riffs in thirds (Slayer, Dark Angel, everyone since).

Amon Amarth – Father of the Wolf – Music Stream

August 15, 2013

Amon Amarth are the AC/DC of Viking death metal. They found and perfected a style, and they rarely deviate from it.

Children of Bodom – Halo of Blood – Music Stream

August 13, 2013

I liked the glammified sounds used to spice up 2005’s Are You Dead Yet?, but most fans felt the opposite, so the next two COB albums dialed up the brutality.

Summoning – Old Mornings Dawn – Music Stream

August 12, 2013

Distant, echoey vocal roar (punctuated by Gandalfian spoken bits), but there’re no real vocal dynamics like the latest Finntroll and Korpiklaani releases.

Dark Tranquillity – The Science of Noise – Music Stream

August 9, 2013

The classiest melodic death metal band: So crisp and perfectly arranged – with a hint of artful restraint. I imagine them headbanging in tuxes with tails.

Shade Empire – Ruins – Music Stream

August 8, 2013

Your pulse will race with blackened beats, your mighty death roar jones fixed, then fueled, and your secret lust for orchestrated, dark keyboards satiated.
