Musical history delivers unique talents, discovers one-off voices and gives artists an immortal status.

FORLESEN Premiere New Album Black Terrain At Decibel Magazine

FORLESEN are streaming their album, Black Terrain, in its entirety over at Decibel Magazine. The album is out now via I, Voidhanger Records. The band draws from dark ambient, epic doom, black metal and slowcore, subverting traditional songwriting. The band comments: “Black Terrain coheres around themes of dissolution and entropy, traversing and overlapping the intimate and personal with the metaphysical and cosmic, and in doing so, seeking the transcendent. However high-minded this might sound, heartbreak, things falling apart, death, transcendence — these are universal themes. So our muse dances or lurches in perhaps seemingly disparate places that sing with this […]

Pioneering Metal Band, XYSMA, Ends 25-year Hiatus! New Album Announced via Svart Records

Since the late 1980’s when a new form of metal started to emerge from the ashes of the speed and thrash metal movements, XYSMA were there making a racket.

Recently the band thought it best to end a 25-year sabbatical and announced that there’s a new album in the works! Titled No Place Like Alone, the album will be released on Svart Records […]

MONSTER MAGNET ANNOUNCE TEST PATTERNS: VOL. 1 TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 11TH VIA GOD UNKNOWN RECORDS

Born in Red Bank, New Jersey, the early days of MONSTER MAGNET were a cosmos away from the major-label, alternative rock boom that would suck the band into the shiny MTV world of the early to middle ’90s. Originally formed by Dave Wyndorf, John McBain and Tim Cronin, MONSTER MAGNET came into the world with a lysergic ooze in 1989 with two demo tapes – Forget About Life, I’m High On Dope and I’m Stoned, What Ya Gonna Do About It? – making it perfectly clear from the start where they were coming from. This was a band reveling in […]
