SEPTICFLESH – Titan

May 31, 2014 0

After three long years, SEPTICFLESH comes back with their Prosthetic Records debut Titan. Many bands have done the mythology theme but how many actually come from a land of strong mythological history? The native Greek band are not very specific in their mythological references but keep listeners engaged with their theatrics and symphonic sound as if a soundtrack to these ancient myths. It’s hard to not dilute the sound and feel of the music with the symphonic sound but Septicflesh has […]

INTERVIEW with NYLON PINK

May 28, 2014 0

So not too often (okay, maybe more than often) I like to listen to bands that aren’t just straight forward metal bands but more influenced by metal than just pure metal. Nylon Pink is a all Asian-American female rock/metal band from Hollywood, CA. Don’t let the looks fool you. As the ladies may have the look of being innocent and cute, they’ll bite your head off. Let’s take a moment to hear from these lovely ladies and find out more about what […]

INTERVIEW with GRAND ALCHEMIST

May 27, 2014 0

Some bands fly under the radar then when you first hear them, you wonder how the hell have you not found out about them sooner? Grand Alchemist is one of those bands. Known amongst the underground black metal scene but yet not many have truly taken the time to appreciate their music. The Norwegian symphonic black metal group has been putting out music since 1998 (technically 1995) so it was great to take a moment to talk with Sigurd and hear […]

EBON ARCANUM – Awakening

May 27, 2014 1

Somber, solemn and atmospheric is the most simplistic way to describe the work by Cortland Runyon. EBON ARCANUM is a atmospheric black metal solo project from the US. As Cortland’s debut release, Awakening is the embodiment of true ambient black art. At many moments throughout listening to Awakening, many emotions will come through as if these are the recorded screams of agony from the beyond. Cortland does many right moves in this release. The six track album starts off strong and […]
