CONCERT REVIEW: Cryptopsy – Abysmal Dawn – Visceral Disgorge – Reaping Asmodeia – Warforged Live at El Corazon
30 years ago, I hadn’t heard of Cryptopsy. When a friend played them for me 20 years ago, I did not like what I had heard. I knew it was good, but there was no way I was going to listen to it, or ever see that band live. 20 years later, I was thrilled to see Cryptopsy perform at last.Continue reading
Glacially Musical 147: Cannibal Corpse – “The Bleeding” Reviewed, Disected, and ______ With A ____

ALBUM REVIEW: Cryptopsy – As Gomorrah Burns
It was while spinning my wheels at the mercy of a delayed flight from London to Berlin, on about the fifth listen to As Gomorrah Burns, the forthcoming record by Montreal, Canada’s Cryptopsy on Nuclear Blast Records that the album finally opened up, like a poisoned flower, and revealed its full merit.
ALBUM REVIEW: Grand Cadaver – Deities Of Deathlike Sleep
Grand Cadaver are another Death-Metal ‘supergroup’ who much like Bloodbath are unashamedly re-visiting the sound of their youth, and the iconic nineties Swedish style made famous by the likes of At The Gates, Entombed, et al.

CONCERT REVIEW: Narcotic Wasteland – Gorgatron – Tegmentum – Warscythe – Iron Front Live at DNA Lounge
The Bay Area has a knack for bringing in a veritable smorgasbord of metal acts to tantalize our “hearbuds”. DNA Lounge did its part to contribute to that unrivaled variety with the invasion of Narcotic Wasteland, Gorgatron, Tegmentum, Warscythe, and Iron Front recently. Featuring a taste of death metal, progressive metal, and even a little hint of thrash rammed into one night, this was certainly not your average Sunday night hum drum.
ALBUM REVIEW: The Zenith Passage – Datalysium
Having been seven years since the release of their stellar debut full-length album Solipsist (Unique Leader Records), it was sadly seeming to be the case that Technical Death Metaller’s The Zenith Passage were perhaps going to be lost to the annals of time. Therefore it is a given news of a follow-up on Metal Blade is very welcome news and perhaps a sign of bigger things to come from them and as evidenced on Datalysium, time appears to have been kind to them.
