Goatwhore - Blood For The Master
Black/Death/Thrash
Feb 08, 2012
Goatwhore have finally seemed to find their niche. Furiously awesome...thrash?...Death n roll?...Black n roll? Who the hell knows. This is just simply awesome.
Liberteer - Better To Die On Your Feet Than Live On Your Knees
Civil War Grind
Feb 01, 2012
Awesome grind built on great, bouncing riffs, a few melodic leads here and there, some catchy chanting...and...banjo & trumpet?
Everything Went Black - Cycles Of Light
Hardcore
Jan 18, 2012
Gritty hardcore with a slightly atmospheric edge that borders on black metal riffing from time to time.
Raw, pounding, and almost purely visceral. A great way to start off 2012.

The Devil's Blood - The Thousandfold Epicentre
Psychedelic Rock
Jan 09, 2012
Take too many drugs and listen to The Devil's Blood.
A great adventurous, yet easily digestible piece of 70's style psychedelic rock, amp'd up for a modern age.

The Fallen Divine - The Binding Cycle
Epic Progressive MeloBlack
Nov 28, 2011
Ok folks, shit just got real.
If Santa only brings your sorry ass one thing this year, pray it's The Fallen Divine's The Binding Cycle. It's a ferocious, yet melodic album that is appealing on so many levels.

Uigg - Of Moose And Men
Thrash
Nov 17, 2011
Living proof of how production can suck and yet still the album can rule. Great modern groove-thrash, highly recommended for fans of Rumpelstiltskin Grinder.
Staff pick by:
Enthring - The Grim Tales Of The Elder
Folk Metal With Balls
Nov 07, 2011
Enjoy stuff like Equilibrium & Ensiferum, but want a little more aggression? Enthring might just be what you need...
Smohalla - Resilience
Avant-Garde? Post black? Something, something....
Oct 31, 2011
Being pleasant and happy is totally lame. Here's something completely miserable & haunting to help you be one of the cool kids.
Skeletonwitch - Forever Abomination
Thrash-Black-Death
Oct 13, 2011
Alright kiddies, go throw out your copies of Breathing The Fire. You won't need them anymore.
This renders 90% of the other thrash albums released this year unnecessary.

Hereby celebrating the 1 year, 1 month, and 12 day anniversary of possibly one of the most entertainingly obnoxious listens of all time. Despite being a pretty ancient album, it still sounds as furious as it did way back in 2009.
Here's to praying for part II from Hank III.

At first I was all like "Meh."
Then I was like "Hmm..."
Now I'm all "Whoa."
Not sure why it took me a few months to revisit this. I'm glad I did though, Book Of Black Earth create massive, rowdy sounding death metal with nothing but their guitars. No need to drag any keyboard player away from his Gossip Girl marathon.

Sacred Ally - Reality Hammer
Thrash/Prog
Aug 22, 2011
Here's something that doesn't suck for you; a nice little prog-thrash hybrid cram-packed with awesome riffs. Don't like prog? Neither do I. Somehow, this just works, though.
Hail!Hornet - Disperse The Curse
Sludge
Aug 09, 2011
Life getting a bit pretentious for you? Eat a bag of pine cones and crank up Disperse The Curse.
