We've known since 2002 that Winnipeg not only has a good hockey team in the form of the Jets, but also has a lot to offer in the world of hardcore. In that year, Scott Wade and Andrew Neufeld launched Comeback Kid. After the debut album hit the shelves a year later, the way was... Continue Reading →

Review BEHEMOTH ‘In Absentia Dei’
It happens more and more that live albums are recorded live streams shows that find some new life through releases, published a few months after the digital event. This time Polish black metal icons Behemoth are the ones releasing a live album that features a streaming concert the band played in September 2020 at Abandoned... Continue Reading →
Review EPICA ‘Omega Alive’
The pandemic also causes another bad thing, the no-conceritis. In a time when live shows are rather limited/restricted or even need to be cancelled/postponed, the digital possibilities became an option, although they never can be a replacer. A band that also decided to use the opportunities and present the new material in a digital context... Continue Reading →
Review DEATH ANGEL ‘The Bastard Tracks’
Death Angel was on the road in Europe together with Exodus and Testament when COVID 19 started to spread. Death Angel drummer Will Carroll was hit hard by the virus, including a 12-day coma.

Review KHEMMIS ‘Deceiver’
Doom metal outfit Khemmis unleashed their latest album ‘Desolation’ back in 2018 and the time is right to unveil their newest strike. ‘Deceiver’ is the title of their fourth full-length longplayer and features six songs. ‘Deceiver’ is a very emotion-laden longplayer that is perfectly reflected by each of the six songs.

Review EXODUS ‘Persona Non Grata’
I don't think I need to introduce Exodus at length, because the band from the Bay Area is one of the innovators of thrash metal. The legendary 'Bonded By Blood' debut was the beginning and what followed was a progress the guys probably didn't even dream of at the time. In the meantime we have... Continue Reading →
Review PATHOLOGY ‘The Everlasting Plague’
‘The Everlasting Plague’, an album title that fits so perfectly when thinking about these crazy pandemic times. That was also the thinking of Pathology when working on their eleventh album. Inspired by a song title from their 2012 album ‘The Time of Great Purification’, the band transferred the idea into the here and now. Pathology’s... Continue Reading →

Review NORTHTALE ‘Eternal Flame’
NorthTale is the brainchild of Brazilian/American guitarist Bill Hudson. Some of you might be familiar with the name of Hudson from his work with U.D.O., Jon Oliva’s Pain and others. Next to the collaboration with these well-known bands the guitarist always had a passion for melodic power metal, and it was in 2017, when he... Continue Reading →
Review MASSACRE ‘Resurgence’
Line-up stability isn’t something Massacre is famous for. The band went through so many adjustments when it comes to bandmembers being involved that counting and listing is useless. What is much more important is that the death metal veterans return with a new album. Also due to the mentioned line-up changes, Massacre wasn’t spoiling fans... Continue Reading →
Review CRADLE OF FILTH ‘Existence Is Futile’
Dani Filth has been creating atmospheric black metal with Cradle Of Filth since 1991.

Review BLOOD RED THRONE ‘Imperial Congregation’
When you think of metal from Norway, you automatically think of black metal and you think of Oslo and Bergen, the epicenters of hard Norwegian music.
