Xentrix have long been part of the British thrash metal story, with their first two albums putting the band firmly on the radar of metal fans. When the band called it quits in 1996, it took until 2013 for the members to find enough common ground to give Xentrix another shot. Bury the Pain followed... Continue Reading →

Singer Rou Reynolds comments: "Last year I took it upon myself... Continue Reading →
Enslaved are a bit like a tree. With every passing year, another ring forms while the roots remain strong, feeding everything that grows above them. Applied to Enslaved, the idea fits surprisingly well. The band has never abandoned its black metal roots, but with every album, another musical ring is added, making each new record...

Certain Uncertainties marks the third album from Dream Unending. Justin DeTore and Derrick Vella once again explore progressive metal territory, bringing together expansive soundscapes and bursts of brutal death metal. The album features six tracks, but their extended running times turn it into a 40-minute metal monolith. “Blinding Allure” sets things in motion, and there’s... Continue Reading →
