Some bands make you wait for it. It’s understandable if you have any idea what all goes into writing, recording, and releasing an album. The writing process alone for many bands can stretch years before they even get into the studio and that’s not to take into account anything to do with labels and the Hell…

Dave Kirsch (Noxis) Interview
Death has been rising in the middle of the country. Over the last decade, the midwest has seen some killer death metal bands start up and carry the torch for both old school death metal and other varieties on the theme to push out a ton of the best modern death metal albums. Bands like…
Karl Willetts (Memoriam) Interview
To thine own self be true might be great advice but it’s not an easy creed to follow in the world of music. Between record companies clamoring for a more commercial single, managers subtly tweaking your look, or just fans that don’t appreciate experimentation (or lack thereof since there’s really no pleasing anyone), it can…
Ricky Jackson (Pathology) Interview
Few bands flying the flag of brutal death metal have been more consistent or more influential than Pathology. Formed in 2006 by Dave Astor, of The Locust and Cattle Decapitation fame, Pathology dropped their first LP, Surgically Hacked, that same year. Like any band, Pathology has been hit with changing lineups and a changing music industry…
Jairo Guedz (The Troops of Doom) Interview
When the stunning news that Sepultura is calling a day dropped a few weeks ago, fans around the world were baffled. The band had obviously gone through some very public changes over the years but had always managed to refine and retool for the next run of albums, all of which have been great (I…
Mike Browning (Nocturnus AD) Interview
Resurrections might not happen in a literal sense (sorry, Jesus) but in metal, they’ve become a bit of a common occurrence. Bands fall by the wayside for a multitude of reasons, from infighting to life changes to just plain malaise. Time away to grow, more opportunities to release their music, and new generations discovering what…
Sam Bean (Werewolves) Interview
Just like clockwork, Werewolves are back to kick the sonic shit out of you. Since 2020, Australian death metallers Werewolves have been releasing annual records of complete aural devastation. If you’ve been along for the ride with everyone’s favorite lupine group, you should know what to expect out of album number five. Die for Us, like…
Jack Owen (Six Feet Under) Interview
You’d be hard pressed to find someone around today as accomplished in the world of death metal as Jack Owen. From his time as a founding member of Cannibal Corpse through his run with Deicide, Owen has been at the forefront of the genre’s leading bands for his entire career. Just as Owen found new…
A. Von Hell (Undead) Interview
Spain’s Undead knows damn well how to make a killer death metal record that won’t die. Since bursting onto the scene in 2015 with their debut EP, Blood Enemy, Undead has steadily built a following and a name for themselves as purveyors of true, classic death metal. The promise of their early EPs was fulfilled on…
Vitor Caricati (Rotborn) Interview
The world of heavy metal wouldn’t be what it is today without the influence of Brazilian metalheads. The land that gave us classic bands like Sepultura or Sarcófago and festivals, like Rock in Rio, has more than earned a place of honor in the heart of most heshers worldwide. The culture and the overall musical…
