Centinex Xmas Gifts, Maybe?
When trolling eBay for obscure stuff you find obscure stuff. Like 8x10s promo photos of Morgoth, the shattered piece of a Cradle of Filth guitar or advertisement cut-outs of old metal magazines. There’s weirder shit for sure on eBay. But these finds are up there. No, I’m not talking ...

The Village Voice's Sketchy Metal Review
“A shameless glitz-and-tits approach to faux-anthemic blockbuster melodrama masquerading as elite-approved Art for Art's Sake—plagues ‘metal’ these days,” writes Stewart Voegtlin. I’m all for a contrarian view of anything embraced by the masses, and so I ...

Scar Symmetry's “Ascension Chamber” video released
We really like Scar Symmetry. Complex, thrashy, deathy, poppy metal. Sort of has a charm to it. So much charm we reviewed it ."Ascension Chamber", while on par with"Noumenon And Phenomenon", doesn't feature Roberth Karlsson's (one-time Edge of Sanity frontman) ...

Mirai Kawashima's (Sigh) Top 5 Italian Dark Metal Releases
By Mirai Kawashima ( Sigh ) Well, I'm Japanese not an Italian. But today I'll present you some Italian stuff. Somehow I've been fascinated with Italy for a long time. It's obvious that the country has a dark side. Probably many of you are familiar with Italian horror movies by Lucio Fulci, ...

Between The Buried And Me “Obfuscation” video released
Heavy metal -- though one might be reluctant to label Between The Buried And Me as strictly heavy metal -- concept videos are usually full of WTF moments. And not WTF in a Lynchian or arthouse WTF way either. Concept videos are normally ill-conceived visual events that ...

Hardcore Preschool Dance Class
Now THIS is the kind of preschool I should have gone to. None of that sitting in a circle bullshit and learning the alphabet. I should have been honing my chops, getting my beast on, prepping to search and destroy, motherfuckers! Check these tots getting schooled in the art of waving ...

Giving Thanks For Brutality
So I've come up with a few Thanksgiving themed metal and metal-ish vids for the holiday weekend. Hit me up with your picks in the comments section and I'll amend the post throughout the next couple days. The first is a no-brainer: I was super-psyched to find this live clip of His ...

Tormentor's (Gorgoroth) Top 5 Black Metal Moments
We asked Gorgoroth's Tormentor to give us Top 5 Black Metal Moments. He pondered a bit -- recognizing all the significant contributions to black metal from his native country of Norway -- and presented us with this list. While we can't attest for long defunct, much-revered Helvete -- it was ...

Petty Gets Petty; Extreme Metal Wins
Poor Tom Petty. The Wall Street Journal chatted him up this week about his gargantuan new Live Anthology box set, and all he seemed to want to discuss was how underrated he is. “I don't know that anyone's out there waving the banner for us being the best rock and roll band there ...

Ashmedi’s (Melechesh) biographical column & chaotic metaphysical thoughts, Part IX
By Ashmedi ( Melechesh ) It’s November and it’s winter. Very grey and the robots around are colder, greyer and some rustier than ever this time of the year. On the other hand, I like such times. A person can be productive indoors by making music, reading and the like without ...

Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost) interviewed
I’ve had a boner for Paradise Lost for longer than I can remember. I can’t recall when and where I first heard Paradise Lost. It was MTV, for sure. And the local radio station at the time considered Pearl Jam heavy. Maybe it was a friend who bought the Gothic CD. Hell, maybe I ...

What Is the Point in Living?
There’s been an NPR piece circulating the last couple days about “10 genres which were either born or blossomed in this decade.” One would immediately assume that the list is rooted in winking, cynical irony from the first two entries, crabcore and crunkcore, but then we get ...

Nergal (Behemoth) is a sentimental Satanist
This audio clip of Behemoth frontman Nergal has been on YouTube for a while now. It's from Wolverine's (not the Swedish one) Million Hell s demo. Since Behemoth's mega-brutal new album, Evangelion , is on many year-end lists (Maybe our own. Or maybe not.) it's time to spotlight ...

Paradise Lost debuts “The Rise Of Denial” video
Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us is at the top end of my 2009 Top 10. The album's solid all the way through. Yeah, it doesn't have the tattooed cool (i.e., stale as a Midwestern Cannibal Corpse clone) of Suicide Silence or the ...

Caving In, Again
Last week we received the Top Five Reasons for a Cave In Comeback  direct from the horses' mouths. As this is a unjust, tasteless world we occupy, however, a returning Cave In will not be heralded in quite the same manner as, say, the recently resurrected Eminem. Which is a good ...
