My Dying Bride – Kneel till Doomsday – Music Stream

December 20, 2012

Doom titans My Dying Bride hit all the right notes on 2009’s crushingly bleak For Lies I Sire, and its proper follow up treads along that same darkened path.

My Dying Bride – For Lies I Sire – Review

February 1, 2010

Personal, micro-level approach to doom. More akin to the sound of your life draining slowly from your veins on a bed of black roses (histrionics intentional).

Bloodbath – The Wacken Carnage – Review

June 1, 2008

Live CD, live DVD from this death metal supergroup’s 2005 Wacken Festival appearance. Production is killer, booklet is gorgeous.

Anathema – Hindsight – Review

January 1, 2008

Acoustic takes on old and new faves from this influencial UK atmospheric, melodic metal band, plus a newbie, “Unchained (Tales of the Unexpected).”

My Dying Bride – Songs of Darkness Words of Light – Review

May 23, 2004

Rather than write anything new, the band work methodically to add to a billowing cloud shaped and sharped like barbed wire tumbleweed rolling over squishy English duskscapes.

Charger – Confessions of a Man – Review

September 24, 2003

Everything good about metal riffing, straight up “lean into it” drumming, angry howl/screamo/growls, (battery) acid-laced guitar, and doom-stomp.

Katatonia – Last Fair Deal Gone Down – Review

February 22, 2002

The result of recording difficulties and saddled with an awkward album title, Katatonia wears those Opeth comparisons more deliberately than ever before.

Akercocke – Goat of Mendes – Review

February 22, 2002

Akercocke sounds like a cross between Peccatum, Zyklon, and Emperor with a Suffocation-esque death metal chain wrapped around the axle.
