Disbelief – War of the Mind

…with a fresh twist. Dead Rhetoric: What worries you most about the current world that we are living through today? If you had unlimited resources, time, and energy to tackle a specific issue or two that would benefit the most people, what would you tackle? Jäger: I think the main thing is, with a mobile phone, you thought things would go at lightning speed. I hope that at the age of 65, I could throw my mobile phone away, I want things to go slowe…

Týr – Prepare for the Next Battle

…yond the records and live shows/touring? Joensen: Yeah, we do enjoy making videos and having videos. They add a completely different element to the whole thing. Unfortunately, our budget for videos is not great – we spend months and years on the music, and we spend one day on the video. There is kind of mismatch there – the music is much more thought through, more highly produced than the videos. Although the videos are decent for the time and mon…

Vicinity – Passengers in Life

…is proud of (what we’ve done). Pierre: The best benchmark for that is our drummer Frode (Lillevold) is the most self-critical in the room. You can hear it in his drumming – it’s on point. Even he still listens to the album after it’s written, so that’s a good sign. We thought it would be our first new album without any new guys – because I was the new guy for the first album, Ivar our keyboardist was for the second, and we managed to get a new guy…

Hammer King – Carry the Torch

…e changes here and there, Charles brings ideas especially to the bass and drum sections, or when it comes to the vocals. We trust him blindly and that’s a good thing. Dead Rhetoric: Hungarian artist Péter Sallai did the cover again for the new record. What do you enjoy most about his work with the group – and do you believe strong cover art is as important in today’s metal landscape as it may have been in previous decades like the 70s, 80s, and 90…

Lost In Grey – Odyssey Into the Grey (El Puerto Records)

…ight tracks. Thankfully the flourishes of electric guitars and propulsive drumming appear in all the right spots – because often this is a style of metal where the symphonic components could overshadow the natural heavy elements. A children’s choir supplements the Finnish sung “Vem kan segla fooerutan vind”, thunderous in spaces while thoughtful in its pacing over the course of its 7:09 playback, the guitar work of Miika Haavisto and Jarno Suodenj…

Kill the Lights – Melodies of Death

…at. The album comes out in March, so we have some lead before the headline run. We have all of the singles rolling along with videos and press. The main thing is to hit the road hard this year, rolling in with some festivals and shows in the summer. We were unfortunate to get hit with COVID as the first album came out, which was interesting now since this feels like our first release. We are able to go out there and tour. It was difficult to tour…

Rage – Afterlifelines (Steamhammer / SPV)

…ong itself throws in all the ideal bells or whistles on vocal parts or instrumental / transitional changes to make this another mandatory treat, drummer Vassilios ‘Lucky’ Maniatopoulos going from moderate to double kick slamming groove paces while guitarist Jean Borman delivers all his axe tricks in the arsenal – downpicking triplets, fluid rhythms, bluesy to neoclassical breaks that prove he’s a force at his craft. Continuing the theme from the p…

Greyhawk – Thunderheart (Fighter Records)

…ce that penetrates the main riffs or comfortable lower verses to rising chorus for “Ombria (City of the Night)”. Arpeggio-laden licks fuel the subsequent gallop nature of “Sacrifice of Steel” – the supportive choir-oriented background vocals serving notice that the band aim to triumph with warriors searching for the light, seeking victory no matter what the cost. A nod to gone but never forgotten metal/hard rock legends appears in a talk sequence…

Fatal Fire – Arson (MDD Records)

…“Kingslayer”. Till Felden has the juggling chops down pat as a versatile drummer – he can go from straightforward tempo play to transitional speed, power, or thrash execution song to song, providing plenty of highlight reel moments throughout the record. Concluding the record on a thoughtful note is “Ardent Wave” – a calmer bass/clean guitar start transforms into this uplifting semi-power ballad arrangement to showcase Svenja’s supreme multi-part…

Alterium – The Power of Fantasy

…cated than what I have done in the past. Dead Rhetoric: You did a song and video for “Crossroads Inn,” which is based off of a video game. It’s not the first time you’ve done this – but what makes video games such fertile territory for you to write about? Rosellini: I’ve been playing video games since I was like 8 years old. I would watch my big brother play video games and then I started playing by myself. The thing I always loved was that you co…

Thornbridge – Daydream Illusion (Massacre Records)

…med on drums. A conceptual effort about a boy aiming to save his imaginary world from destruction and violence occurring in his real life, the questionable / inhuman healing methods (plus surgeries) take place in a Victorian-era mental asylum – with the eleven tracks traversing a catchy / aggressive platform, mirroring the melancholic lyrics while being adventurous and potent when necessary. The brighter guitar harmonies Patrick executes often car…

Lords of Black – Let’s Be Heroes Again

…arist from when you first started to how you express yourself with the instrument today? Who would you consider some of your mentors or influencers when it comes to the guitar – in metal or otherwise? Hernando: Even before Lords of Black, I was in different bands, and I also had a solo career as a solo artist doing other stuff. I had not found any singer as good as Ronnie to start something more focused on a singer versus the guitar. My initial in…

Hulder / Devil Master / Worm / Necrofier – March 2, 2024 – The Abbey, Orlando, FL

…er usual, they did not lead us astray. Worm is an entity unto themselves. True to reputation, Worm engulfed our hapless ears with a weighty, monolithic wall of doomy black metal that literally rumbled the walls. They play loud and meticulously, with a known air of mystery to boot, with shadows and the occasional camera phone flash giving the clearest glimpse of Phantom Slaughter and his horde. “Murk Above the Dark Moor” provided a grime-filled era…

Hypoxia – Roaring With Defiance

…decided to move to the United States, I had just asked my mom to buy me a drum kit because I wanted to be a drummer. My brother was playing guitar at the time, we had just started jamming. But my brother was a year older than me, so he came to the states first. We migrated and started a band together, we were actually able to buy a drum kit, and it became our obsession. We formed a band in high school, it was metal and pretty cool. We did a couple…

Stormhunter – Best Before: Death (MDD Records)

…f a mid-range folk-ish nature to his verses, the unison choirs keep the choruses easily attainable for even the most fearful audience singers of the world. Most will be hard pressed not to be screaming / vocalizing to the key hooks for “Altar of Illusions” or the Blind Guardian-esque “Empty Shell” (think Tales from the Twilight World-era here), the former alluring musically on its cleaner intro that builds into a tremendous, headbanging force of a…

Song Premiere: Destroyer of Light’s ‘Waiting for the End’

…d on Bandcamp. Be sure to also check out the first single from the album “Cruel World” now! Destroyer of Light’s Degradation Years is: Guitars & Vocals – Steve Colca Guitars – Keegan Kjeldsen Bass – Mike Swarbrick Drums – Kelly Turner Recorded at Austin’s Orb Recording Studios (Grimes, The 1975) and mastered by James Plotkin (Voivod, Botch, Thou). Track listing: 1. Cruel World 2. Waiting for the End 3. Perception of Time 4. Failure 5. Man with No…

BRAT – Social Grace (Prosthetic)

…nd sludgy powerviolence cuts quick and deep. Buzzing guitars and pounding drums assault you as the band flies through some of the more grind-y cuts like “Ego Death” and “Truncheon” with just the right balance of terrifying speed, Liz Selfish’s barked vocals, and effective drops in tempo that focus on devastating riffs to launch the listener into a headbanging frenzy. One of the band’s strongest points is actually their ability to really get into y…

Critical Defiance – The Search Won’t Fall… (Unspeakable Axe Records)

…s. Solo breaks contain dazzling displays of dexterity channeled into crazy runs where bends, tapping, or whammy bar dynamics add to the tools of manic destruction – check out “44 Minds” in this regard. Longer songs appear as the opening two tracks as well as the finale – fleshed out by a shorter, acoustic instrumental like “The Blind Divine” or the 84 second blasting bullet train outing that is “Full Paranoia”. Any band that makes a namesake song…

Wounds – Ruin (Everlasting Spew Records)

…to my latest find, the Chicago, Illinois band Wounds and their debut album Ruin. This is death metal done right, especially for those who enjoy an ideal mix of heaviness, brutality, plus technicality. From the opening salvo of “The Archfiend’s Apothecary” and “Doom Incarnate” one can feel the sense of urgency. Two major highlights immediately leap out with “In the Maw of the Beast” and “Birth of a New Light.” Not surprisingly, these were both albu…

Lutharo – Chasing Euphoria (Atomic Fire Records)

and melodies to be hammered home easily. Prepare to hear a lot more from Lutharo as they aim to hit the road even harder than ever before. Chasing Euphoria contains all the ideal elements one could want in a multi-pronged metal outfit today – once again highlighting the strength, passion, and tenacity of the Canadian metal movement to the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc4chbzZ0Ww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl5SfC-oTMI Lutharo offici…

Leather Lung – Emerging From the Ashes

…ou put a word to it, it snaps it into place. I think it reminds me of the grunge scene back in the day, two of those bands side by side sound nothing alike. Alice in Chains doesn’t sound like Pearl Jam, at all. But they are both grunge. All good heavy music is hard to define. Dead Rhetoric: You’ve also created your own lager beer Dive Bar Devil – how did this come about, and what do you enjoy most about this additional avenue of cross-promotion th…

Cave – Out of the Cave (Metalapolis Records)

…atrical atmosphere, circular / momentum building guitar layers, and fluid drum shifts to a calmer conclusion a sure-fire highlight, especially to those who love the work of Savatage or Masterplan. At other points Chris’ keyboard / guitar work recalls the Hagar-era Van Halen or Empire-oriented Queensrÿche period of the mid 80’s to early 90’s – opener “Rat in a Hole” as well as “New Found King” tailor made for the big arenas. A robust production cap…

Illumishade – Lighting Up A New Side

…ic: How do you like to express those aspects when it comes to making music videos? Erni: We have a really cool team that works on the videos. Mirko Witzki, who is from Germany, and Kami Zero, who is an amazing make-up artist and stylist. It’s kind of like we come with the song, and if we have an idea we throw it in and tell them what its about. We let them work their magic, because they are great artists with great ideas. Then that’s where the mag…

Atrophy – Asylum (Massacre Records)

…rainwashing by major news networks to the insurrection, as well as daily struggles for the common man that most ardent metal followers can easily relate to. Legacy groups struggle with reclaiming status as fans prefer revisiting the past versus accepting new products from these artists. In the case of Atrophy through Asylum, this scribe believes they’ve maintained the right attitude to deliver strong thrash material that straddles what put them on…

Firewind – Mindful When United

…n-stop since I was a kid. I had a good excuse, it’s happening to the whole world, nobody can leave their house. I just stayed here; I had saved enough for a rainy day. I stayed at home with my family and my cats. Just do YouTube, live streams, keep in touch with people and our fans. The second year in 2021, I made a solo record that was all instrumental, that was cool. No pressure at all. I was itching to get back on the road. Every time they anno…

Turbulence – Binary Dream (Frontiers Music)

…ce between showcasing obvious supreme knowledge and execution at their instruments, while also ensuring specific parts (and songs) contain the key hooks, melodies, or harmony-laden movements that capture your headspace. It could be a calmer, lower register vocal melody next to some ethereal, distant keyboards or reflective guitar lines during “Tenary”, the pulsating, robotic nature that moves into Pain of Salvation meets Tool in a Middle Eastern m…

Grey Skies Fallen – Mournful While Exuding Hope

…s involved? Habeeb: I see the festivals in Europe and overseas, tens of thousands of people. You look at that stuff and think that metal is bigger around the world, but on the other hand there are good things happening here in America, like the Maryland Deathfest, which is awesome. The reactivated Milwaukee Metalfest, which I would love to get on that somehow – Jamey Jasta, hit me up. Going back to our heyday, twenty to twenty-five years ago, it’s…

Before the Dawn – Archaic Flame (Napalm Records)

…essary, the rhythm guitar foundation of Tuomas deadly while the melodic chorus runs concurrently next to a stunted, circular riff parade. “Run To You”, the blockbuster Bryan Adams hit from the Reckless album, is given a Before the Dawn transformation – Paavo’s natural melodic register perfect for this style of song, the extra level of distortion girth and Saku Moilanen’s reflective keyboard approach difference makers to the good. “Dying Sun” finis…

Sonata Arctica – Clear Cold Beyond (Atomic Fire Records)

…hile also applying the experience and technological advances in the modern world to execute the best product at the time. For main songwriter and vocalist Tony Kakko, that means a mixture well-excepted uplifting power metal anthems as well as some mid-tempo or cultural offshoots that contain entertaining melodies, syncopation musical moments, and songs to treasure. From the first thunderous guitar/keyboard duel that descends into “First in Line” r…

Lutharo – Riding Within Euphoria

…– thank goodness I got to see them when I did. They are a huge inspiration for me and our band. I could go on and on about this topic. Dead Rhetoric: What’s on the agenda for Lutharo over the next twelve months or so to support this release? Shipperbottom: Hopefully more tours. More music videos are coming out. More online content for sure, but hopefully touring. We’ve got some things lined up for the new year, more writing. We are already starti…
