Rage and Frustration
Heavy Metal Reviews & Interviews
Neck Of The Woods – The Passenger
Every time you think you are feeling the musical groove, they go in the opposite direction, to coerce both shock and elation at where it leads you.
Expander – Endless Computer
It invades your mind with the concept of a shapeless cosmic entity representing the pinnacle of technological advancement and seeking to take control of all atomic matter in the universe.
Connoisseur – Over The Edge
…the stoner anthems very much speak for themselves as the music kicks as much ass as humanly possible.
Arkaik – Nemethia
The first track Occultivation smacks you in the face with speed and almost excessive aggression.
Neck Deep In Filth – Neck Deep In Filth EP
This EP…is feral, dangerous, and destroys you before you know it.
Pestilent Age – Nuclear Winter Track Stream
Check out the new Pestilent Age track!
Usnea – Portals Into Futility
Through six tracks running just shy of an hour, the band weaves a complex web of dread and discovery.
Cripper – Follow Me: Kill!
The conclusion that we must come to is that there is a new genre, just simply called Cripper.
Crawl – This Sad Cadav’r
A creeping horror roams throughout your psyche as you listen.
Leucosis – Liminal
Rage and Frustration Heavy Metal Reviews & Interviews Band - Leucosis Album - Liminal Country of Origin - USA Genre - Black Metal Release Date - September 1st, 2017 Label - Sentient Ruin Laboratories Author - Hayduke X Several years ago, when family and work life...
Sxuperion – Myriad
The album starts with some incredibly filthy blackened death metal with vicious guitar riffs, blasting, and yeti growl vocals, then drifts into ambient noise, including samples on one track.
Amiensus – All Paths Lead To Death
They are carving a niche on the same progressive back metal mountain that Oranssi Pazuzu and Cormorant make their home, a place both rugged and majestic, and a place richly deserved by this project.
Neurosis – The Word As Law
The Word As Law is an existential romp through my teens and early 20’s.
Blood Tyrant/Departure Chandelier – Split 7″ EP
…both tracks are excellent examples of ways to approach modern black metal with a throw back attitude.
Breag Naofa – Cearo
The overall effect of this relatively brief release is devastation.
Venereal Baptism – Deviant Castigation Liturgy
This album is anything but boring, with the many tempo changes, and raw energy, it’s absolutely punishing.
Fell Ruin – To The Concrete Drifts
To The Concrete Drifts, much like all of the work by Detroit based Fell Ruin, is a complex and difficult album.
Caligula’s Horse – In Contact
The material is not trying to push boundaries or change the world at large. It is just good prog metal being performed by top notch musicians. But, sometimes, is that not what great music should be?
Craving Angel – Redemption
Old school as it comes, this one should go down as one of the better tributes to what is real old school metal.
Discarnatus – Death and Depravity
…this ability to compel the listener is very much present on this nearly twenty-six minute release. I find myself taken out of time and drawn into the particular corner of the void inhabited by this eight legged monster.
