Record reviews
Manowar – The Lord of Steel Review
They came, they saw, they underwhelmed. Why hath the Gods of Metal forsaken us???
Carach Angren – Where the Corpses Sink Forever Review
Probationary scribe, the mysterious Madam X is here to tell you about the new Carach Angren and whether their symphonic black metal is more brute or fruit.
Mercury Tide – Killing Saw Review
Killing Saw? That must be recording industry jargon for “career ending album.”
Trepalium – H.N.P. Review
Happy Metal Guy likes stuff that kinda, sorta, maybe sounds like Opeth…somewhat.
Hour of 13 – 333 Review
Doom the old doomy way by the unsinkable Phil Swanson.
Process of Guilt – Faemin Review
Process of Guilt has a lot of buzz. I’m not entirely sure they deserve it, but they aren’t bad.
Natur – Head of Death Review
Formed in 2008 and based in New York, Natur refer to themselves as as “old metal,” that brand of heavy metal that hearkens back to a time before there were really genre definitions, when the music was about just fun, high energy, riff-driven heavy songs. Natur reach back to that, attempting to channel the historical moment and really embody it rather than merely throw on a retro patina.
Dawnbringer – Into the Lair of the Sun God Review
Chris Black has this little act called Dawnbringer….they kinda rule.
The Agonist – Prisoners Review
When an album lands in my inbox accompanied by an apology from Angry Metal Guy himself, you know it’s gonna be a rough listen.
