Colorado has turned into a goddamn monster factory. Denver has been cranking out some of the most adventurous extreme metal on the planet over the past decade. Blood Incantation tore through death metal and imbued ...
Seven years after Obscene Majesty, I expected Devourment to return eventually. What I didn't expect was a three-song EP that sounds this vicious. Pious Impiety isn't some nostalgic victory lap from one of Slam's ...
I've always thought Venom's biggest strength was that they never seemed to care what anyone expected from them. Plenty of bands from their era either mellowed out, cleaned themselves up, or turned into museum ...
Crate diggers, unite. Here’s how Deadwax Noir opens—no grand overture, no fireworks. Just a figure slipping back into frame. Sonny Rollins disappears for three years at the tail end of the ’50s—walks away at his peak—and ...
After what feels like an eternity of delays, The Everlasting Shadows finally arrives, and the biggest surprise is how comfortable it sounds in its own skin. Many veteran melodic death metal bands return after a long ...
Last night, long after I should have gone to bed, I found myself sitting alone with a half-finished bottle of Cabernet and Chet Baker's Chet spinning quietly through the room. There are albums you listen to, and ...
Three songs. No intro. No ambient filler. No cinematic bullshit. Just twenty-first-century tech-death launched directly into your frontal lobe like a railgun round ...
I’ve replayed Ingested’s Denigration an unhealthy amount of times now, and I genuinely can’t tell how much of this album is “actually incredible” and how much is me hearing the sound of a band trying not to completely ...
Doodswens just dropped the best black metal record of the year and it’s not even fucking close to being sideswapped. This wild creature of raw Dutch black metal bleeds at extreme volumes throughout all 7 tracks.

When The Inner Mounting Flame hit in 1971, it didn’t really sound like a jazz record anymore. Or a rock record, either. The Mahavishnu Orchestra took pieces of both, wired them together, and sent the whole thing hurtling ...
Echoes is the second full-length from Ethereal Darkness, a melodic death/doom metal band from Belgium. Six tracks. Just over an hour. Atmospheric melodic death/doom buried under grief, exhaustion, loneliness, and that numb ...
Slaughterday’s Dread Emperor sounds less like a new release and more like something somebody accidentally unearthed from a flooded basement rehearsal room in 1992. The whole album has this ...
Welcome to Original Synths, our neon-lit corner of the internet dedicated to the pulsing heart of modern Synthwave. This is where analog dreams, retro beats, and futuristic vibes collide.
Welcome to the Void. Where riffs don’t just hit—they fracture space. Where rhythm mutates into something almost sentient. Where melody flickers like distant signals from somewhere you’re not sure you can return from. Celluloid Dissonance is for listeners who don’t just hear music—they see it.
Crate diggers unite! Welcome to the shadow end of the groove—Deadwax Noir, where jazz lives in the margins and the stories start after midnight. We chase the hiss between notes, the forgotten pressings, the records that never made the clean light of day—and the classics that built the room in the first place.
