You demanded it, whined about it and complained ad naseum. Well, here it is, Record(s) of the Month for September! Now get off our backs, you nags!
Steel Druhm
Weapon – Embers and Revelations Review
Steel Druhm has a sordid history of black metal bashing. Now he turns his bitter attention to the new opus by Weapon. Will Embers and Revelations avoid his typical blackened butt spankery? They better hope so; the man has an iron hand.
Daemonicus – Deadwork Review
Swedish retro death is as common these days as reality shows about fat, uneducated hoarders. Steel Druhm appreciates both trends, so he’s happy as a pig in shite over the Dismember-worship demonstrated by Daemonicus on their second album, Deadwork.
Retro-spective Review: Lethal – Programmed
We haven’t had a retro review for some time and Steel Druhm is here to fix that. Diving deep into the archives, he points an aproving finger at long forgotten, Queensryche-influenced rockers Lethal and their excellent debut, Programmed. With all the spit and shit flying between Geoff Tate and his former band, you’re gonna need this if you want a taste of good, old fashioned Ryche ‘n roll.
Fullforce – Next Level Review
Confession Time! Steel Druhm has been wracked with guilt since underrating the first Fullforce album. Now he finally gets a chance to atone as he reviews the new opus by this melodic metal supergroup from Sweden.
The Gathering – Disclosure Review
The Gathering were once a metal band and much beloved by Steel Druhm. Now, they’re more like a goth-rock act and Steel’s affections have cooled significantly. Can the new opus rekindle the love that once burned with the heat of a thousand suns? Tune in for all the latest romance and gossip!
Daylight Dies – A Frail Becoming Review
More doom-death for Steel Druhm! Daylight Dies returns with a very Ghost Brigage-y take on the genre. Finnish-style doom-death from North Carolina?? Can it work? Should it even be attempted? Find out inside.
Hellwell – Beyond the Boundaries of Sin
Manilla Road is an institution in the metal world and deserve many accolades. However, their last album bummed Steel Druhm out bigtime. Now, Hellwell, the Manilla-fueled side project of Mark Shelton is here to right the wrongs and kill with songs. Steel Druhm is happy again and back in the Cthulhu cult where he belongs. Join him…
Die Hard – Conjure the Legions Review
I hope you all remember where you left your skull tanks…cause here’s more re-thrash!! Extra old school re-thrash is the game, and Die Hard is the name. Steel Druhm generously takes time away from lipsticking swine to discuss the album with you.
Hooded Menace – Effigies of Evil Review
Ah, what could be better than nasty, heavy-as-hell Finnish doom-death to ease the transition from summer to fall. In case you haven’t heard, winter is coming…
