RIP Fast Eddie

Today marks the death of the last original Motorhead member.

The Graviators - Motherload

Stoner Doom

Not reinventing any wheels here, just a wide variety of different takes on melodic-extreme metal combined into a homogenous, well executed mixture.

Primate - Draw Back A Stump

Grind/Hardcore Punk

You know what? This was a hard album to grow attached to. While it may not contain instantaneously infectious 3 Inches' anthem classics like "Deadly Sinners", "Trial Of Champions" or "Battles And Brotherhood", you'll find tracks like "Dark Messenger", "4000 Torches", "Leave It On The Ice" and "Men Of Fortune" still cram-packed with great riffs, which is, at their core, what this band is all about.

Excuse the fanboy moment.

Litrosis - I Am Death

Melodic Black Metal

Catchy Euro Power metal meets raging wall-of-sound black metal? Yes please.

Here's a taste.

Agruss - Morok

Black Metal
Apr 29, 2012
No funny stuff. Just black metal with a face-vs-brick-wall type impact. Unbelievably loud & crushing.

There's not a lot of "funky" metal out there these days that doesn't sound like crap. Here's a great prog album that is as much jazz as it is metal.

Djerv - Djerv

Blackened Heavy Metal
Mar 10, 2012
Catchy heavy metal with a rough, razor-sharp black metal edge. A big thumbs up for those who love a little raw aggression in their melodic metal.
