Immolation was always kind of an oddball band. They were somewhere in between brutal death metal and a more melodic style that focused on weird guitar harmonies and slower mid-paced sections. Gorguts would probably be …

Minor Key Monday 38: Deine Lakaien – One Night
February 18, 2013
I always have to stop myself when I say I like “all kinds of music”. Because, honestly, that just isn’t true, there is really only one kind of music I like. No, not [just] Black …
Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 36: Graveland – Carpathian Wolves
February 15, 2013
National Socialist Black Metal is a touchy subject, even (especially) among black metal fans. And while I fall into the camp that an artist's personal ideological beliefs should have no effect on your enjoyment of …
Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 35: Sodom – In the Sign of Evil
January 15, 2013
Sodom, even more so than Kreator (covered here a few months ago), was probably the most brutal of the early German thrash bands. Their music always towed the line between thrash and death metal (especially …

Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 33: Varathron – His Majesty at the Swamp
November 15, 2012
Sometimes "black metal" is a difficult genre to pin down. While 90% of black metal pretty much either sounds like Emperor or Immortal, there is quite a lot of diversity to be found in the …

Mid-month Metal Masterpiece 32: Valkyrie – Deeds of Prowess
October 15, 2012
The older I get, the more my tastes in metal have relaxed. Back in the day (late 90s) I would have scoffed at even a hint of clean singing in my metal. An album like …
