Grand Supreme Blood Court – Bow Down Before The Blood Court – Review

January 29, 2013

Bow Down Before The Blood Court is packed with crushing, brutal death metal, with little room to breathe, like on the bludgeoning “Piled Up For The Scavengers.”

Mogwai – A Wrenched Virile Lore – Review

January 28, 2013

Ten remixes of eight of 10 songs on Mogwai’s Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will ranging from synth pop to aggro, bombast to snooze.

Rotten Sound – Species at War – Review

January 25, 2013

First-rate grindcore from Finland. It’s a raw meat slab designed to keep the wolves at bay between the band’s 2011 album Cursed and their next full length.

Aspiga – Every Last Piece – Review

January 22, 2013

Seven song debut from this New Jersey punk band. Inconsistent vocals but chunky bass, lively tempos, and some solid melodies and good breakdowns.

Anaal Nathrakh – Vanitas – Review

January 21, 2013

Superior black metal from the UK. Anaal Nathrakh mix in all sorts of extreme sounds into their attack, from grind to industrial, and they do it with style.

DmC – Devil May Cry – Review

January 18, 2013

The story isn’t anything terribly memorable, but DMC has an incredible surreal look that mashes up the level design in all sorts of cool and unexpected ways.

The Amity Affliction – Chasing Ghosts – Review

January 10, 2013

Boilerplate metalcore from Down Under. Chasing Ghosts, is bound to wear on your nerves with “cute” song titles that reference PBR and Office Space jokes.

Khors – Wisdom of Centuries – Review

January 9, 2013

Your street cred will go through the roof (and your sex life through the floor) once you bust out that you have some UKRAINIAN BLACK METAL in your collection.

Vampires Everywhere – Hellbound & Heartless – Review

January 8, 2013

Traces of nü metal and pop-tinged industrial metal, also elements of H.I.M. and Avenged Sevenfold, and it’s all mixed into a bubbling mess.
