Record(s) o’ the Month – June 2018

On July 10, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"Summer is always a slow time for metal releases. I bet some stats nerd out there could run which months correlate with the end of year lists, but I'd be willing to bet that summer months don't. This is because most bands are out hitting festivals, fans are out seeing them, and no one's spending money on new records. Yet albums are being released, and we here at the Angriest of Metal Guys dot Coms have been slaving away over hot reviews this whole time. As a result, we're hitting you up with the most unexpected Record(s) o' the Month for June of 2018 ever. Not only is it vaguely on time (they're a planned portion of the month late so that we could enjoy that Amorphis wallpaper a little longer), but no one fucking called these. Yeah, that's right. Who's unpredictable!? I'M UNPREDICTABLE! You're welcome." Loose cannon's gonna cannon.

AMG’s Unsigned Band Rodeo: From Ashes Reborn – Existence Exiled

On May 31, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

Welcome to the second Rodeo of the month, and a special one to be sure. Today we feature Existence Exiled, the debut album from German's From Ashes Reborn. These cats play what they have dubbed "Scandinavian styled melodic death metal" and that's about all we know about them. Their Facebook and Bandcamp pages have zero information about them. They have no pictures, no band listing, and the only information we have is that they were founded in 2017 and that Existence Exiled was recorded in cooperation with Markus Stock (Empyrium, The Vision Bleak). They tell us that their trademarks are "mighty growls [...] embedded in a mixture of Heavy Riffs [sic] and blast beat attacks constantly accompanied by melodic hooks and harmonic lead guitars." Here to weigh in on whether or not From Ashes Reborn can claim these to be their trademarks, or whether certain Scandinavian melodic death metal bands should be calling their lawyers is Team Corpsepaint by Numbers. Let's get rodeo-ing!

Record(s) o’ the Month – May 2018

On May 29, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"It is often predicted that whatever records I review in a month will be the Record o' the Month. This makes sense, as I have repeatedly referred to this as "Angry Metal Guy's Record(s) o' the Month." But what's little known about this process is that we do actually vote. The votes don't always move the needle on what I choose in the grand scheme of things. However, the writers frequently point me, as The Decider (that means that I decide), toward what the various writers and fans are enjoying. This is quite helpful for everyone involved. So yes, as usual, we are looking at my Record(s) o' the Month. But this time around, there was also a pretty strong consensus behind closed doors which albums should be the Record(s) o' the Month. And it gets better: it's even on time! Is it a coincidence? Or did someone threaten to rip out my fingernails behind the scenes if the Record(s) o' the Month weren't on time for May? The world may never know. But the world is going to enjoy the hell out of this wallpaper for the next six months..."
