“As Krighsu awakens from his slumber, the galaxy is being consumed by nanomachine swarms. Robots are now the dominant race, while the last human lineage, known as Agliptian, fear to lose the meaning of their existence. The...

We’ve had a sneaky listen to Rotting Christ‘s forthcoming 12th(!) studio album Rituals and, while it’s no real surprise given their momentum, we’re happy to announce that it’s yet again one of the finest records to date. There’s still a...

It’s all about hooks and riffs on the debut from Melbourne’s Annihilist, taking equal parts from European melodeath and the whole modern American metal style. Unlike so many other bands taking it in a tough, mosh-heavy direction...

Six years is far too long to wait between albums for a great band, but that was the torture for Urgehal fans. In Feb 2016 they’ll finally be following up from their 2009 piece of brilliant black metal with Aeons...

While there aren’t any new tunes online quite yet (there will be in 5 days) , Sydney’s Blacksmith have set Dec 7th as the release date for their debut, self titled release. Having been on the live...
