“Basma”, the second album by the Serbian folk collective Vartra, deliberately looks far back into the past: the band draws inspiration from ancient South Slavic healing rituals and invokes folk traditions from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. The lyrics are based on traditional customs from these regions and place a special emphasis on incantations …

2004, like the early new millenium years, was in the middle of the Black Metal crossroad between going back to the primordial grim roots and moving to uncharted and unsurveyed territories. This is where Absentia Lunae moved their first steps, a wolf pack, as lyrical mastermind explained on this re-edtion booklet retrospective, …

Bride has been releasing music for more than 30 years, and they are still going strong! “Here Is Your God” is the band’s 16th studio album. It picks up where “Snake Eyes” left off and takes it to a whole new level. This album has major cojones! Here Is Your God, seamlessly …

In 2021, Jimmy Brown and company took on the task of re-recording the album from the ground up, and Jimmy wrote a book as a companion piece so Camelot finally reflects the original intention and vision intended for this classic album. Only the Deluxe Edition includes the entire book + the CD …

Originally recorded in 1995 and released on Intense Records, Camelot in Smithereens blended bits of thrash with technical progressive metal. Deliverance vocalist and band leader, Jimmy P Brown II always lamented that the final version of the album was far from what his original vision entailed. According to Deliverance frontman, Jimmy Brown II, …

Frightening, awe-inspiring, and absolutely relentless, Deliverance’s self-titled album dropped onto the scene in 1989 with all the finesse of a metallic sledgehammer across the forehead. In 1987, Deliverance had made their presence known in dramatic fashion on the California Metal compilation (a sampler in the vein of Metal Blade’s Metal Massacre compilations) with …

Originally released in 1991, Deliverance’s third album is a thrash masterpiece along the lines of S.O.D.,
M.O.D., Sacred Reich, and Death Angel. Few are free from their lyrical mockery, be it profiteering
doomsday preachers, goofy fundamentalists who hate metal because of the sound, skeptics/atheists, the Roman Catholic church, American politicians, or even the …

‘The Los(t) Angered Sessions’ is not the new ANATOMY OF I album, but the band’s first unreleased studio recording from 2005/2006. Operating under the moniker of TERMINAL EYE, the band split up between two sessions at Andy Larocque’s Los Angered Studios in August 2005 and January 2006, leaving guitarist and main composer MICHAEL DORRIAN …

Drawing frequent comparisons to mind-altering progressive death metal acts, ARTIFICIAL BRAIN have distinguished themselves from their peers through an emphasis on rich, melancholic melodic figures, contextualizing the harmonic and emotive qualities of black metal within a more aggressive death metal framework. Dissonance is threaded through elegiac, otherworldly chordal structures; saturnine tremolo melodies float …

Dutch metal band Celestial Season have had quite the trajectory. Originally an early death/doom
metal band, having released their first material in 1992, the band developed a romantic, violin-led
sound which partially mirrored (but mostly coincidentally existed with) the classic Peaceville sound.
Releasing two gothic/death/doom metal albums in the early-to-mid 1990s (please check …
