…asy with us, right? Yes, we started jamming the first bits of what would become the new material in 2018, since Come the Tide was ready to be released and it would take us another year until the album saw the light of day. In hindsight, I think we did the smart thing by not compromising the quality and flow of the material in favor of delivering a quicker strike when we decided to reschedule everything after Danny joined, although I must confess I…

Nana’s vocals (also of Gungire) hit the genre marks easily, el…
Last year boasted some of the best melodic death metal to surface in some time, to the delight of these veteran ears. Newbies Majesties blasted off faces with Vast Reaches Unclaimed, and the legendary and criminally underrated Night in Gales putting out my album of the year in The Black Stream. The year of 2024 is looking promising, with a number of releases slated throughout the calendar from both legendary acts and new generations. Then, we hap…

…the collaboration with Annisokay on “H.A.T.E.” I think it’s a really cool combination compared to having just one person guest on a song. Golinski: It’s totally different than what you normally see, and that was the point. We wanted to bring both styles of both bands together in one song. We wanted to take the brutalness of Any Given Day and the quieter parts of a chorus from Annisokay, and we think it fit perfectly as it came out. People seem to…

Containing some of the prettiest and contrastingly stinging moments on any of their releases, Caligula’s Horse tackles this narrative with exceptional grace. What follows is what may be one of this scribe’s favorite Caligula’s Horse tracks in the dizzying and tense “The Stormchaser.” That chorus is a pure aural contagion. Bookending the album is “Mute”; charmingly…
