Another great evening of music was put on display this last friday (03/21), with the tour featuring Protest the Hero and Battlecross, featuring The Safety Fire (UK), Intervals, Night Verses, and locals Violent Vendetta. An insanely solid lineup and show, this was a lineup that really any metal fan could just walk into and enjoy. Compared to the Friday before that, with the current tour of Between the Buried and Me, one didn’t have to be solely a prog metal guy to have fun.
U.S Death Metal Unit BLOODSOAKED are gearing up for the 2014 “Consuming Europe” tour with SHORT FUSE, INSATANITY, AITTALA and AGE OF ARES.

New Orleans’ disciples of hardcore, blues-based, post-amplified audio wreckage, EYEHATEGOD, are pleased to unleash their long-anticipated new studio recording later this Spring. Set for North American release via Housecore Records, the domestic version of the self-titled offering will come in a CD digipack while the LP will be a single slab of vinyl in a gatefold jacket.

Our Endless War Available April 29th on Metal Blade Records! Returning with the fifth full-length of their decimating career, there is no stopping the juggernaut that is WHITECHAPEL. Our Endless War is the culmination of everything the Knoxville, Tennessee sextet have worked toward since their inception. A ruthlessly honed album that refuses to compromise on brutality, it is also by far their most streamlined, atmospheric, and emotionally powerful release, pushing every aspect of their sound to the next level.
Sweden’s d-beat crust purveyors, MARTYRDÖD, have once again entered the infamous Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Amon Amarth, Opeth) to record their fifth full-length, entitled Elddop. The follow-up to 2012’s Paranoia LP will, as with its predecessor, be released via Southern Lord. Additional details on Elddop will be announced upon the completion of the recording sessions in the coming weeks.
Following recent broadcasts informing the public of ENABLER‘s deadly revamped lineup and impending East Coast tour, the Midwest-based trio now expose the details on their anticipated second full-length release, La Fin Absolue Du Monde. Translated from French to signify “the absolute end of the world,” the title of the new album is yet another of the band’s works inspired by filmmaker John Carpenter, in this case in referencing his movie, Cigarette Burns.
Following the release of their debut full-length, Last City Zero, CORRECTIONS HOUSE — the collective musical extractions of Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Bruce Lamont (Yakuza), Sanford Parker (Minsk) and their minister of propaganda, Seward Fairbury — will be leveling the UK on April 12th for a single London show following their appearance at this year’s Roadburn Festival.
The Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization has announced an adjustment to the lineup for this year’s show. While we’re disappointed that Philadelphia’s FLESH ENGINE cannot be part of our lineup with their 2nd studio album CD release performance this year, we’re excited to confirm Pittsburgh’s VERMITHRAX as a very suitable replacement. This True Metal outfit with thrash, Power & Progressive Metal elements was founded by former and founding members of Reading Zero, Nunslaughter, Icarus Witch and Order of Nine and has recently been joined on second guitar by James Malone of Nuclear Blast recording artists, Arsis.
Wizards and warriors, rejoice, for the chosen one has returned! The Misery Wizard lives! Since the early 2012 unveiling of their debut sonic behemoth Misery Wizard, fans and critics alike have patiently yet anxiously awaited the second chapter in the ongoing legacy of the almighty PILGRIM, a three-piece doom metal band from Rhode Island.
