Suffocation are, for all intents and purposes, my death metal home base. I was weaned on the mid-90s death metal scene in New York...
Hi, what are you looking for?
"Between You, God, the Devil and the Dead is surely one of Avatarium's finest LPs due to its consistent songwriting and familiar yet wide-ranging...
"Simply calling this black metal, or even post-black metal, risks overlooking the ways this band has grown past labels, pursuing catharsis instead of acceptance."

Ancient VVisdom broke through last year when Prosthetic re-released their 2011 independent album A Godlike Inferno. Critics and punters alike found themselves enamored of the band's...
Complain and moan all you want, but a little post-hardcore here and there really isn’t that bad. It’s kind of like a palate-cleanser, or...
Overtly sinister sonic imagery requires some suspension of disbelief on my part. Either I’ll buy into a band’s bombast and bluster, or their attempts...
Short on technical ability, long on old school spirit, Australia's Vomitor evoke something Quorthon might have released on Black Mark had the label been around in 1987. Back-to-basics...
I went into this review with absolutely no knowledge of Vorum or any of their past work. Looking at the album cover, they could...
Grind has been making a comeback lately – its decline in both popularity and availability roughly traceable to Nasum's 2005 break up – and you'd...
Four years is a long time to go between albums, but when you're working from a relatively unchanging, traditionalist template it's probably not a...
As the old saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover"; well definitely don't judge this excellent album by its lackluster, high school...
I prefer some mystery in my metal; music is always more compelling when its lineage is not immediately obvious. On their sophomore release, Vex...
I was a big fan of Rotten Sound's 2011 LP, Cursed, so I approached this new EP with high expectations, all of which were...
So, it would probably be a fair assumption that if you were considering getting this album, you’re a prior fan of Voivod. And, if...
Nightfall has been around for a very, VERY long time. And although they've had numerous line-up changes, and an unannounced split-up and hiatus, they’ve...
This year, I resolve to listen to more death metal. And what better way to start this new year with the new act, Oblivion....
Imbroglio know that modern life is not harmonious; there is no balance, there is no such thing as solace. The band craft music that’s...
Well, it’s feels a little strange doing a Top 10 list since I haven’t completed a full year yet at MetalInjection. Also, I really...
Venomous Maximus – debuting on LP here after an independently released EP earlier this year – are 80's metal children, to be sure, but not...
It's a retro world. That's not a value judgment, just a statement of fact. Some lament this fact as if its a permanent turn...
Anaal Nathrakh have never presented themselves as black metal, but few bands outside that genre generate the kind of love-'em-or-hate-'em, spoilsport vibes these Brummie...
For the sake of full-disclosure, I should come right out with it: I absolutely love Grunge, and even when pitted against my Metal, Punk,...
I’m a devotee of My Dying Bride in principle, if not always in practice. The band have been indulging us in beautiful misery for...
Some people are often too busy laughing at the ridiculous music videos and comedic novelty of the animated series Metalocolypse to realise that Dethklok...
Everyone rides that Sword jock nowadays – it's worn, broken in and smells pleasantly of oiled leather – but let's pause a moment to reflect upon...
