CANTO: October Tide, Full of Hell, Deicide, and More

CoreyLeave a comment


Remember when we used to call these “quickies”? Well, I have places to be so that kind of applies today.

  • We’ll start with October Tide who premiered the video for “Unprecedented Aggression”. That track is taken from the band’s seventh studio album, The Cancer Pledge, which is available through Agonia Records.
  • Deicide dropped their 13th album today, Banished by Sin, which is out through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM)… and somehow I missed that one. No matter. To celebrate, a video for the opening track, “From Unknown Heights You Shall Fall”, can be seen here.
  • Of Virtue unveiled some North American headlining dates throughout 2024, which follows a run supporting Imminence. Check out their full touring plans here.
  • Thy Will Be Done released a beast of a new track today titled “Prelude To Apostasy“, and a video for that premiered over at Metal Injection. That’s their first new material in four years so… that’s awesome. Let’s see what comes next.
  • Full of Hell released Coagulated Bliss to the masses today, through Closed Casket Activities, and they marked the occasion with a video for “Fractured Bonds to Mecca”. Give that a watch below and catch them somewhere on the road over the next few weeks.

Album Review: Glassing — “From the Other Side of the Mirror”

HeraLeave a comment

For many years, I had heard about Glassing, but never had the chance to fully dive in. From my limited knowledge, they are a band rooted in harsh noise, a genre I did not like and avoided at all costs. However, over the years, the band evolved, placing their focus into post-hardcore and I felt the need to know more. Now, with their fourth full-length album, From the Other Side of the Mirror, it’s time to see what the fuss is all about.

Album Review:  Zelenaya — “Folk Songs”

AngelaLeave a comment


Combining powerful harmonies of Eastern European polyphonic folk vocals with sludge, doom, and death metal, Zelenaya brings a unique and compelling debut album, Folk Songs. Songs are derived from Ukrainian village polyphony, southern Poland, the general Pale of Settlement, further east in the Balkans like Serbia, and even the Caucasus region. Not only are the songs diverse and impressive, but so are the musicians in the band. The bio of each person is inspiring and it is no surprise that this collection of individuals have found their way to each other and joined forces to create this magical album. Having roots in the arts, education, mysticism, non-profits, and more, these four individuals are making the world a better place with everything they do including sharing their gifts together as Zelenaya.

Album Review: Inter Arma – “New Heaven”

IanLeave a comment


To say that the last five years since Inter Arma put out the magnificent Sulphur English have been tumultuous is a wild understatement. Obviously, a global pandemic took its toll, and the usual suspect of membership turnover reared its head, but the band also had to seemingly fight against nature and fate itself to bring New Heaven to light. Natural disasters, a car crash that almost killed songwriter T.J. Childers and new bassist Joel Moore, and a studio space in such disrepair that it almost precluded them from doing any meaningful recording were just a few of the hurdles the quintet had to jump through.
