"It was only when I discovered that the album’s title refers to a proto-Germanic rune which represents “joy”, “harmony” and oneness with the self that the pieces finally fell into place… because FERAL LORD sound more at one with themselves than ever.".

"A uniquely esoteric and ritualistically hypnotic hybrid of “blackened” Doom and deathly gloom, equal parts primal and progressive, that will no doubt make its presence known on a number of “Best Of…” lists come the end of the year.".

Imperialist open “Beneath the Sands of Titan” with the kind of blazing thrash riffage and engine-like pumping rhythms that will trigger muscle-jumping and neck-bending reflexes among most died-in-the-wool metalheads. And then they bring the demons out.

Andy Synn presents three mind-mangling morsels of Tech-Grind-Math-Metal madness courtesy of ABSOLUTISM, CAR BOMB, and NEFAS.

"The music is dense and layered but also stripped to bare wire and exposed edge. and as the musical pieces emerge, evolve, dissolve and fracture, the song’s moods also change.".

"A crushing loss, the passing of a giant, but a time to be grateful as well. ". Islander shares a few thoughts, and we welcome the comments of anyone else whose thoughts are on the Prince of Darkness today.

"The album is about a person who is seemingly colourblind, who takes psychedelic drugs as a last-ditch effort to see colour. [but] in reality, something else is happening. The writing is on the wall from the beginning to the bitter end."

". even at its most variable and volatile (the dizzying dissonance and topsy-turvy tumult of “Psionic Battery”) or its most (semi) straightforward (the Wormed-influenced “Parasite Orb’s Lock”) there’s always a discernible method behind the madness.".

". proven performers with a lot of instrumental flare across a range of extreme genre styles. they demonstrate that flare, along with an intriguing sense of melody, in the song you’re about to hear.".

". the musical terrain the band traverses feels both physical and emotional, crossing through landscapes and moods. they make music that’s both elegant and brutish, refined and ravaging.". Check out our full premiere of the new album from @baalbanduk.

The new album’s name is an inspired choice, partly because it is reflective of the science-fiction themes that run through the songs, and partly because the album often sounds like a planetkiller — as you’ll discover via our premiere of the record.

Your muscles are about to twitch, your head is about to hammer, your pulse is about to accelerate. those are our predictions of what will happen when you watch the playthrough video we’re premiering by the Ottawa-based death metal band HARVESTED.

“Starless” is about self-preservation and protection, in a way. about burying the darkest parts of you, letting them fester and unleashing it unto all who have hurt you while building walls shutting out the world.

"Both tighter and more technical, while also possessing an expanded dynamic scope. maybe this will finally be the album (out 18 July on @agoniarecords) which garners Abigail Williams the respect they’ve long deserved."

'A Crack In Everything' takes the band's long-running thematic focus on “light”, in its more esoteric and existential form(s), and shifts it towards a more raw and personal perspective… examining how the light gets in, even in the darkest of times.

In September 2003 the brother of one of the members of 𝕬𝖗𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖚 was kidnapped in Colombia and spent 101 days in captivity. And today we're premiering a song called "Sierra Nevada" that's based on those events.
