…illing their albums with mid-tempo stompers as opposed to played-out thrash-a-thons will net them more success. It should be called “The Toxic Waltz Effect” or something to that nature, for when Exodus became bogged-down in polka beat-ville, said song about moshing ended up being their most recognizable – and successful – in an odd, roundabout way. The same happening will probably befall Greek thrashers Suicidal Angels, but on their fourth album,…

Sjunnesson: Well, it was pointed at their new address sonicsyndicate.net for the longest time, but just recently there’s been some unnecessary friction regarding me using some titles and lyrical references in The Unguided from my old work in Sonic Syndicate (obviously I’m only using references from the titles and lyrics I’ve done 100% myself, which is the three first albums of Sonic Syndicate).

…McIver’s 2010 Bloody Reign of Slayer had its moments, but PA-based author D.X. Ferris has gone the extra mile with Slayer 66 2/3: The Jeff & Dave Years. Across 59 chapters (!), Ferris hits upon every critical (and not-so critical) aspect of the band’s career, including their brash early Metal Blade days, through the galvanizing Reign in Blood/South of Heaven days, to those unforgiving 90’s, all the way to today, where he takes in-depth look at the…

…heir first offering going under the dubious name of Pleasure of Molestation. Would-be title for an all-star sex offender jam aside (how awful would that be?), the band’s gradual progression from raw and ragged death metal, to virile melodic death metal, to cagey hybrid they are today is one worth taking note of. Antithetical (their third full-length overall) puts its flag in the ground in a variety of places, although brash death/thrash seems to b…

V.I. are definitely playing an angle of some kind (I’m still trying to figure it out) – somewhere between art deco hipsters, vaudevillian entertainers, and, I dunno, turn of the century railroad workers? I give up. Musically, there’s lots to enjoy here. The vocals of Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen take center stage, with a quirky and Mike-Patton-like delivery. One might mistake him f…

…to engage in some sort of hypnotic trance, so that’s when “Burning Down the Cross,” “Down By the River of Dreg” and “Pills” have their fun. And even if the ideas are utterly simplistic, the point is made…and taken: Grime know how to operate well within the ghastly and oppressive confines of modern-day sludge. Since the album is mostly straightforward, there’s not as much patience-testing as one would initially suggest. Sure, Grime could use some m…
