Lovingly pinched from Metal Review.com: Although London institution Orange Goblin has been kicking ass consistently for fifteen years, it is somewhat recently that the band has really perfected the blend of Black Sabbath, Motörhead, and Down – the kind of hard-rocking, thick-grooving, bottle-smashing outlaw stoner metal that’s so easy to overlook ...read more

Album of the day: Pilgrim – Misery Wizard

Posted on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Lovingly pinched from THRASHhits.com: While music obviously needs bands capable of doing radically new, different things, it also needs bands that refine existing styles and add their own voice.

Posted on Sunday, October 16th, 2011

Praise for Glorior Belli‘s The Great Southern Darkness from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records: We’ve mentioned it before, but it seems like few can touch French black metal when it comes to originally and innovation.
