Having been around in the Death Metal arena now for twenty five absolutely destructive years Krisiun approach their anniversary as one of Brazil’s most ruinous exports with a brand new album, Forged In Fury. Have Camargo and co’s claws remained as razor sharp as they once were or has time dulled our feral cat’s claws…
When moving on in time we often look back bathing in sentimentality pining for the past. Things went at a slower place, worries didn’t lay our thoughts under siege and life was just a little more relaxed.

Triumph over adversity, the old adage couldn’t be more apt. Bands like the Richmond quintet only come around once every decade. Consistently releasing punishing, groove oriented metal Lamb of God are one of the most forward thinking bands of our time. Often labelled as a Pantera copycat, which personally I feel to be completely wrong and derogatory of the entire Lamb of God ethos.

Essentially the most important album of their career, VII : Sturm Und Drang is make or break
Xandria look to fill the release gap with a new EP, ‘Fire & Ashes‘, with an interesting mix of new tracks, covers and re-recordings…
The progressive maestros known as Symphony X have returned, and we see what brilliance they can offer us this time around on their new record, ‘Underworld’…

Deciding to tackle the grandiose and truly morbid concept, Locrian offer us a different perspective that the classic balls to the wall approach. Dancing between finesse and dense musical sounds we welcome you into the world of Infinite Dissolution.
