If you’ve been paying attention to the extreme metal scene over the past decade, you should know Full of Hell. Formed in 2009 by a group of incredibly determined and musically talented teens, the band has been making harsh, utterly unclassifiable music since. The band’s first release, 2010’s EP The Inevitable Fear of Existence, marked…

Lords of the Trident Interview – Part 1
It tends to feel good in a story when the hero wins, especially when real life is as dire and depressing as it has been the last few years. A great tale of valorous protagonists taking on ultimate evil and coming out with the upper hand may be the best way to grab an actual…
Henry Rollins Interview
If you’re a fan of heavy music, Henry Rollins shouldn’t need an introduction. The perpetually pissed-off vocalist more than made a name for himself during his time fronting hardcore punk band Black Flag throughout the ‘80s. Chances are you already grew up listening to albums like Damaged and My War. If his Black Flag output somehow escaped you,…
Nurser Interview
If you didn’t know, the world changed a bit in 2020. With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtually every industry on Earth was affected and mutated in some way.

Gorguina Interview
There’s something to be said for music that reflects the time it was recorded in. It’s more than readily apparent that, unfortunately, the current epoch isn’t the most optimistic of eras.

Between Bandcamp and the perpetual presence of…
Grand Harvest Interview
Plenty of artists have gotten lots of mileage out of the end of the world. There’s something about looking at the state of humanity and seeing how precipitously we always sit on the edge of disaster that makes for compelling art. Mankind’s doom and downfall provides myriad avenues for musicians and writers to explore, everything…
Paul Mazurkiewicz (Cannibal Corpse, Umbilicus) Interview
For as long as I’ve been alive, to tweak an old adage, there have been three constants: death, taxes, and Cannibal Corpse. Releasing their debut, Eaten Back to Life, the year after I was born, Cannibal Corpse has been smashing faces my entire life across 15 (and counting) full-lengths of never-waning intensity. To stay relevant…
