thisisblackmetal.com : / Review by Rick Eaglestone Failure – Dulling the Razorblade (Demo) Record Label: Independent Year: 2026 Rating: 7/10 Depressive Black Metal has always been the most solitary corner of an already isolationist genre — a music made alone, in bedrooms, for reasons that rarely announce themselves. Failure, the sole work of a UK musician … Seguir leyendo “Review: Failure – Dulling the Razorblade (Demo)”

angrymetalguy.com : Exumer are probably viewed as a footnote in the Big Book of Germanic Thrash. After all, they only managed to release 2 albums in the Golden 80s, and only one of them really epitomized the raw, unhinged nature of the Teutonic terrors launched by acts like Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction. Their Possessed by … Seguir leyendo “Exumer – Death Mask Messiah Review”

angrymetalguy.com : Given its proclivity for scathing speeds, tough turnarounds, and blistering double bass, death metal contains a surprising number of drummer-vocalists. There’s Chris Reifert’s foundational feats in Autopsy, Mike Browning’s total-body tour de force on The Key (Nocturnus), and Max Klebanoff’s cookie-monstered kit-mashing in Tomb Mold. Add Andrea Feltrin of Miscreance to the list … Seguir leyendo “Miscreance – Reminiscence Review”

angrymetalguy.com : I love me an honest promo blurb. In a world where every advertisement promises more brutality than a 20-year exclusive diet of doughnuts and American cheese, and more emotional trauma than walking in your parents whipping you up a sibling, there are points to be earned for labels real enough to simply tell … Seguir leyendo “Agonanist – The Spirit of Gravity Review”

angrymetalguy.com : A little over a year ago, my dear friend and roommate visited her home country of Norway for a month. Obviously, I insisted that she visit Neseblod Records, the infamous record store originally opened by Euronymous (as Helvete) back in the 90s, located in Oslo. While she was there, frightened by its certainly … Seguir leyendo “Triosphere – Oceans Above, Stars Below Review”

angrymetalguy.com : Enroll Crimson Glory in Vacation Bible School, and you get Sacred Warrior. Releasing a string of high-quality, God-honoring prog-power from ’88 to ’91, Sacred Warrior shredded and wailed in seriously glorious fashion on underground hits like Wicked Generation and Master’s Command1, led by the guitar heroics of band leader Jonathan Johnson. But as … Seguir leyendo “Glory of Kings – Roots of the Past Review”

angrymetalguy.com : Kamelot should need no introduction, but this is an article, so they get one anyway. The US-based group have dominated at a crossroads between power, progressive, and symphonic metal for much of the thirty-one years since their debut. I can personally credit Kamelot with breaking me out of my Nightwish-shaped early impression of … Seguir leyendo “Kamelot – Dark Asylum Review”

angrymetalguy.com : Flotsam and Jetsam started out as the ultimate underdog act, and somehow, they’ve retained that workaday everyman vibe over a 40-plus-year career. Gaining more fame from having their founding bassist poached by Metallica than they ever would from their excellent debut, their early years resulted in some high-flying platters. As with most metal … Seguir leyendo “Flotsam and Jetsam – Rats in the Temple Review”

angrymetalguy.com : It warms the heart to see that the allure of early At the Gates remains strong among the younger metal generation. England’s Xenith, a quartet made up of 20-somethings,1 cite early At the Gates and Opeth as inspirations for their debut album, To No Avail. While the Opeth inspiration isn’t nearly so obvious, … Seguir leyendo “Xenith – To No Avail Review”

angrymetalguy.com : For a band you’ve most likely not heard of before, Shabti sports a remarkably intriguing pedigree (at least for my tastes). You see, Shabti is comprised of members from Falls of Rauros, Obsidian Tongue, Fires in the Distance, and even live Panopticon performers. These aforementioned names will likely ignite the interest of fellow … Seguir leyendo “Shabti – Haze, Cacophony, and White Light Review”
