Whitechapel – The Valley
9.9/10 This job of mine can be tedious and nerve wracking sometimes, but fuck oh fuck does it pay off with reviews like this one. It’s been an arguable but typically unanimous opinion that Knoxville, […]

Battlebear – Grimm Horton’s
7/10 Battlebear is a Toronto metal band here with their debut EP Grimm Horton’s. With just six tracks, the band gives out a small dose of punishing death metal without taking themselves too seriously. With […]
Albums
The Ten Year Program – The Ten Year Program
7/10 Yes…I had an unhealthy obsession with the Deftones back in the early 2000s, didn’t you? White Pony is probably the main reason my Discman kicked the bucket after only a couple of […]
Albums
Autism – Have You Found Peace?
6.5/10 Melancholy tends to be a familiar emotional port of call for the post-metal sub-genre. The combination of hypnotic, atmospheric sonic textures with a focus on emotional introspection leads many groups of this ilk down a wonderfully […]

The Overthrone – The Plague
8/10 Ask the average Joe Six Pack what they know about Swedish music, and you’ll probably be treated to a monumentally cringe-worthy rendition of “Dancing Queen.” It’s true that ABBA remain a global sensation, but Sweden’s […]

Strange Ways – Hand of The Maze
6/10 Finding a good thrash album in this day and age hits you like a perfect late-night drunk poutine. It’ll hit all the right spots and somehow circumvent any potential regret you could have had […]
