Yer Metal Is Olde: King Diamond – “Them”

Record(s) o’ the Month – September 2018

On October 7, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"Twenty-eighteen is shaping up to be a remarkable year. September alone had nearly a dozen records that staff writers wanted to nominate for the Record o' the Month. I can say with certainty, having been at this for a while, that few months have been as contentious behind closed doors at Angry Metal Guy Amalgamated Blogworks, LLC. Dozens of verbal spats escalated quickly into an Anchor Man-like brawl, featuring fighters lining up to shout each other down about Voivod's legacy, reviews written by fanboys, and Satan's novelty before someone—possibly Dr. Fisting—attacked Steel Druhm with a trident. After I single-handedly dispatched the opposition to avenge Major General Steely D, however, it was clear that there could only be one choice for September's Record o' the Month." What's the best soundtrack for a backstreet brawl among metal reviewers?

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!
