REVIEW: Perversion – Pillars Of The Enlightened
Kickstarting 2012′s major Middle Eastern metal efforts, Perversion‘s newest work hits the market with high expectations haunting it. Solid and imbued with technical instrumental efforts (the most prominent instrument being the guitar which showcases great riffs), Pillars Of The Enlightened lives up to its expectations and delivers to put a name for Perversion alongside the [...]
REVIEW: Dischordia – Creator, Destroyer
DISCHORDIA is an American Progressive Death Metal band hailing from Oklahoma. I recently gotta chance to listen to their Debut E.P Creator, Destroyer which to some extent defines the sound they are looking for. Right from the very first second till the end, it’s absolutely ‘in your face’ no nonsense death metal sound with hell [...]
REVIEW: Asphyx – Death hammer
What can possibly be said about one of the great institutions of death metal that hasn’t been said before? There are few bands that you can rely on to never waver from their chosen path while consistently churning out killer albums that just never disappoint. Asphyx are like the death metal version of AC/DC or [...]
REVIEW: Dark Helm – Persepolis
Explosively progressive with twist of Traditional Indian Classical Instruments is what defines the angst-ridden Pune based Experimental giants DARK HELM. Dark Helm as a group have always been under intense scrutiny since arriving on the metal scene in such unforgettable style by getting signed with LA based Record Label Itchy Metal Entertainment. Their recently released [...]
REVIEW: Nephelium – Coils of Entropy
Having spent a substantial part of my life in the Middle East I’ve always kept an eye out on the developing metal scene in that part of the world. Suffice to say I was quite intrigued by what Dubai’s first ever death metal band Nephelium had to offer. The band was formed by guitarist Alex [...]

Its almost been 2 years since they formed the band under the name Lost Sequence and later changing the band name to Scarface. Well they claim their music is an amalgamation of many metal genres with lot of variations [...]

REVIEW: Mimanxa debut single ‘Siphoneptera’
Explosively percussive and partially technical is what defines the angst-ridden Guwahati based technical death metal band MIMANXA. They are out with their first single titled Siphoneptera. Formed in 2011 and heavily influenced by big daddies like Death, Necrophagist, Nile, Obscura, their music flew from the depths with insane vocals, cool edgy rhythm riffing, and bouncing [...]
REVIEW: Machine Head – Unto The Locust
Looks like someone in hell heard my complaints about the lack of quality thrash metal in my life, and it sure sounds like it. The shortage of chugging guitars, memorable licks, solid grooves, killer solos, thumping bass and pounding drums – the dearth of everything that made me a fan of thrash metal along with [...]
REVIEW: Iced Earth – Dystopia
It’s pretty obvious that the question on everyone’s lips is ‘How the hell can anyone replace Matt Barlow?’ To be perfectly honest I was less than enthused when the news broke that Stu Block was recruited to take over vocal duties for Iced Earth. While he is certainly a talented vocalist with a huge range [...]
