Deprogrammer Cult Enter The Chat With Hottest Heavy Album Of Your Summer On Tactics For Manipulation

There’s a reason certain albums/artists make it onto our new year preview list without hearing a note and just the whiff or mention that something is coming down the line.

Cairo Knife Fight Unveil The Colossus (Album Review)

Is there a more appropriately titled album for Cairo Knife Fights first full length than The Colossus? It’s a behemoth! A monolithic beast of grooves! Like the sexy rawkin’ love child of Eagles Of Death Metal and Queens of the Stone Age (Think that sweet space between the S/T and [...]

Sumo Cyco Invite Listeners To Get Lost in Cyco City With Them On Debut Album

Maybe it’s charismatic vocalist Sever’s distinct vocal style that at times soothes like kidneythieves’ Free Dominguez or Sneaker [...]

Untitled Metal Column: Volume 12 (High On Fire, Luminiferous)

Honestly, I don’t know why I’ve never fully immersed myself in the awesome that is High On Fire. I had a record once (2005’s Blessed Black Wings) but since I’ve only dabbled and been a casual fan. If you’re like me then prepare to slap yourself upside the head for [...]
