SOLD OUT You saw them on MTV’s Headbangers Ball in the 80s.

Fronted again by the original singer Randy V and the original drummer Johnny ‘Evil’ Cappelletty, BEYOND APATHY comprises a total of 11 songs of crushing U.S. Metal, with a very doomy, eerie ...

SOLD OUT When we talk about the golden age of Belgian Heavy Metal, names like OSTROGOTH, ACID or KILLER come to mind without much trouble. LIONS PRIDE are among the masters of Belgian Metal and we are not afraid to say so. Unfairly underrated and somehow relegated to oblivion, they became one of our personal favorites from the ’80s Belgian Metal scene. Anyone who knows the debut album “BreakingOut” knows this is one of the most solid and exceptionally well-written metal albums ever to come ...

RICOCHET were formed in Birmingham in the late 70’s and recorded their only single in 1980, funnily titled Double B Side on a limited edition of only 500 copies.

Power trio Dreams Of Venus emerged in 1990 in New York, shortly after the breakup of Hades and consisted of Jimmy Schulman (Hades, Vessel of Light, Cassius King) on bass, Addie Flaxx (Pound Of Flesh) on guitar/vocals and Kirke J. Blankenship (Our) on drums. Influenced by late 60’s and early 70’s music, they had something different from what was happening at the time. Through mismanagement and all the industry crap that goes along with it, Dreams Of Venus was just another up‐and‐coming act thrown into ...

FIRST ORDER was formed in 1985 in Brooklyn, New York, by Andy Elder, Morgan Liebman, Chris Berberian and Eric J. Morgan. In 1986 “The First Four” Demo is recorded at Bolt Studios in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, with Keith Alexander(Carnivore/Primal Scream) producing and Robbie Graham (Primal Scream) in attendance; both sang backing vocals with the band. Same year they also did their first live show at St. Joseph’s Auditorium, NYC. Morgan leaves the group and Bryan enters on vocals, alsobringing rhythm guitar chops; the “classic” lineup is formed! In ...

Coiling tightly around like a vindictive colossal snake, asphyxiating and temporarily blinding with its slithering motion, the music of Saevus Finis has a specific result on the listener. Their music is immediately overpowering; rhythmically throbbing with chest-bursting heaviness, the pounding parts are alternated with angular, incisive riffing. Militaristic blasts give way to slower, time-manipulating music, emphasizing nothing but even more heaviness, as dissonant tunes augment the perplexing situation. Saevus Finis have mastered the art of combining the best elements to create dark, hypnotic and suffocating ...
