Behemoth 2018

I spent all day hiking. As a result, I don’t know why I’m writing this.

Carcass is releasing a new EP on October 30th through Nuclear Blast, titled Despicable. Better yet, you can listen to a new song called “The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue” right now.
Armored Saint has announced a live record release performance, which will take place on October 10th. Their new album, Punching The Sky, drops on October 23rd through Metal Blade.
Behemoth have also announced In Absentia Dei, an immersive live stream event that will take place on September 5th. The performance will be held at a secret church in Poland and feature special guests Imperial Triumphant… but they’ll be in NYC.
I appreciate music videos that call out to horror movies, so let’s check out the new one from The Bloody Hell for “Last Word”. Their self-tiled debut album is out now.

Album Review: Imperial Triumphant — “Alphaville”

July 28, 2020July 23, 2020IanLeave a comment

In a romantic sense, New York City embodies a perfect sampling of America. Opulence and poverty, history and revision, thriving culture and commodified gentrification, honesty and corruption, passionate vision and stubborn ignorance, grandeur and insignificance — all these things come together to make up a city that is as beloved for its endless opportunity and diversity in people and worldviews as it is reviled for its deep-seated association with power, money and depravity. Imperial Triumphant have taken it on themselves to tell the whole story of the city they call home, and Alphaville is the next chapter in that tale. Continue reading →

Initial Descent: July 26 – August 1, 2020

Friendly reminder before we get into all the new metal, Enslaved is kicking off their Cinematic Summer Tour this week (Thursday) with the first of three scheduled shows, Chronicles of the Northbound, which can be streamed on their YouTube channel. Set a reminder, plug it in the calendar, just don’t forget. Alright, new metal this week consists of the next extremely extreme avantgarde look at NYC as seen through the eyes of Imperial Triumphant, the first full length from brutal death metallers Katalepsy in four years, a diverse and very satisfying platter of death metal from Valgrind, and some quality Finnish death metal from Sepulchral Curse. All that and a ton more to sink your teeth into. Do it. Continue reading →

CANTO: Rotting Christ, Imperial Triumphant, Exist, and More

Imperial Triumphant

“Now you bless, now you pray for, now you pray for the new God they sent you. Sons of God will forgive you, and the weapon for new wars will give you.”

Rotting Christ are the latest to announce a live concert stream. This one takes place tomorrow at 10:00 PM EDT and is hosted by Mexico Metal Fest. You’ll be able to view it at this location when the time comes.
Melodic death metal crew The Absence have finished the recording of their fifth album. The title, as well as pretty much all other details, are still forthcoming, but this one looks like it will be an early 2021 release through M-Theory Audio.
Exist are returning with their third full-length album, Egoiista, which is set for an August 28th release through Prosthetic Records. You can check out “Spotlight’s Glow” and get your pre-order on at this location.
Imperial Triumphant revealed a new track and video for “Atomic Age” today, so it probably makes sense to end the week with that. Alphaville drops on the 31st through Century Media.
