Rob’s Recommendation Roundup: Volume 11
Allegaeon has somehow survived lack of finances and band turnover to release great album after great album. “Apoptosis” is their last and one of their greatest. The first big change was vocalist Riley McShane who stepped in on 2016’s “Proponent … Continue reading →
Rob’s Recommendation Roundup: Volume 9
I am sure you haven’t heard of Digression Assassins but you can and should change that right now. “Oblivion” is the follow up to the fabulous “Merkaba” and it finds the band growing as a young band should. Digression Assassins … Continue reading →
Psycroptic – “As the Kingdom Drowns”
Tasmania’s Psycroptic is BACK with “As The Kingdom Drowns” and wow, it’s a killer album. Sure it’s only 35 minutes but it’s a relentless, blistering album nonetheless! I enjoy Psycroptic in doses. Like any tech death metal band, they can … Continue reading →
Horrendous – “Idol”

Monotheist – “Scourge”
Monotheist are not a band for the faint of heart. They play some of the most technical death metal that I’ve heard (and I have heard a lot) and rarely let the listener up for air. What makes them great … Continue reading →
Entheos – “Dark Future”
Entheos have followed-up their 2016 debut CD with “Dark Future,” released November 11, 2017 on Spinefarm Records. Less than 18 months between two full-length CDs you ask? Chaney Crabb (vocals), Navene Koperweis (drums, ex-Animals as Leaders, Animosity), and Evan Brewer … Continue reading →
Threat Signal – “Disconnect”
Another band that’s back in action after being quiet for a number of years is Ontario’s Threat Signal. To be fair, the band has weathered many challenges since they released their self titled third album in 2011. They faced everything … Continue reading →
