Wild Flag – Wild Flag | Its New Its Old Its Somewhere In Between
Wild Flag - Wild Flag | Its New Its Old Its New Wild Flag - the new self titled release from Wild Flag is to sum up ...thoroughly enjoyable. A straight up rock n roll/post/pre-punkish concoction of dissident harmony and garage band styled hook laden sounds, bringing you a sticky stuck in your head pop record. When we add in the beach party 60's [...]

Classic Reviews: Havohej – Dethrone The Son Of God
Havohej - Dethrone The Son Of God, 1993 Candlelight Records It's a nativity story familiar to all Northeastern Hessians. In 1990 Anno Domini, the embryonic conglomerate known as Incantation underwent a fateful spasm of binary fission: one half -- led by axeman John McEntee -- retained the namesake as a fixture of New York Death Metal; the other [...]
Moldy Oldies: Voivod – Angel Rat
Voivod - Angel Rat, 1991 MCA/Mechanic Records Since the release of Killing Technology, Voivod have worn their Die Kreuzen influence very conspicuously on their sleeves -- namely, within the angular diminished chord riffing and bizarre handle on narrative -- but with Angel Rat the influence swallowed the band entirely, and they came to follow [...]
Live Review: Disma/Arsis/Immolation at Webster Hall in NYC, June 28 2010
Immolation's Bob Vigna (L) and Ross Dolan (R) cast down a token of malice. Immolation's official headlining tour for Majesty And Decay was not even to begin until the onset of autumn, but since neither of the planned New York State shows were going to be hosted anywhere near the City (and no one hates commuting more than a New Yorker!), the [...]
Opinion: Metal needs better cartoons
Do you want to be associated with these two every time you wear a Slayer shirt? Watching television is probably the most un-Metal of past-times (our culture reveres active pursuance , not passive acceptance ), but in this modern age, the TV has become an undeniable fixture of the domestic sphere, and its influence can hardly be avoided. [...]
Vektor feature: two live reviews + interview
Vektor's David DiSanto. Those are pieces of a computer's carcass grafted onto his guitar. On the Northeastern leg of Vektor's 2010 U.S. tour -- their most gruelingly extensive one yet -- the band happened to play two venues that were only four miles apart within the Tri-State metropolitan area: one free show in Jersey City, New Jersey, and [...]
New York Death Metal: a primer
Reputable as one of America's most populous and culturally rich regions, our fair state of New York naturally boasts its own timeworn death metal tradition. In regards to notoriety and scope of influence, New York Death Metal (handily abbreviated as NYDM) is the cold, northern counterpart to the world-famous Floridian style: both scenes seem to [...]
Live Review: Pestilence/Vital Remains and others at the Gramercy Theatre, 6/17/2010
Jeroen Paul Thesseling and Yuma Van Eekelen Immediately following their Maryland Deathfest appearance, Pestilence embarked on their first North American tour in 16 years, sweeping clockwise through the South and the West Coast, then cutting across the Middle States and parts of Canada. However, this plague's final destination was the teeming [...]
