With some new and improved production, Deathspell Omega’s ultra-dense approach to progressive metal is sounding more brutal than ever. WATCH THE REVIEW

American black metal outfit Ash Borer has a new album on the way via Profound Lore, and you can hear a colossal clip of the album’s first track above. The 4-track LP will be titled Cold of Ages, which is certainly a fitting title if every track brings the

Faustian Echoes by Agalloch When I first heard Portland metal outfit Agalloch was going to be dropping a new EP, I didn’t think for a second the release would basically be a single, 21-minute track. The band certainly lives up to the grandiose assumptions that comes with a track

Here, we have a new track dropping from the forthcoming Nachtmystium album, Silencing Machine. I actually dig it lot more than the first, which had some pretty furious, relentless, mechanical drums on it.

Black metal modernists Nachtmystium drop the first single from the band’s forthcoming album on Century Medium, Silencing Machine. “As Made,” with its sequenced drums and calculated shots of abrasive noise, is a nice industrially tinged piece of sacrilege. I usually don’t care for drum machines in my black

A twisted and melodic blend of both black metal and death metal coming through on this debut from the Ukrainian band Agruss. “Morok” is the title track to this new album. It’s out now on Code 666. Hit up the band’s Facebook page here.

No Youth by Wreck And Reference One of the heavier industrial albums I’ve listened to in a while, No Youth by Wreck and Reference, is the followup to the project’s 2011 album, Black Cassette. Hailing from California, Wreck and Reference are infusing heavy, doom-esque moments into otherwise spacious
