Weapons of Tomorrow – John Kevill Art: Andreas Marschall I’m a rationalist type, so I thought and planned. Just getting the idea or the riffs into my head and chewing on it for a while, messing with a bunch of different versions, and seeing what sticks. I only write a little down- the idea is,…
The Art Of A Maniac – Tymo Art: Andrei Bouzikov Tymo is a Canadian Thrash Metal band from Edmonton, Alberta. Formed in 2015, the band was initially intended to promote frontman Tim Tymo’s solo project; however, as the band’s current lineup came together, the band took on a life of its own as they gravitated…
Meat We’re Made Of – Niels ‘Coyote’ Bang Design: Robin Chave “Harons” Like for our debut EP’s artwork, we did it ourselves. We called a photographer for the professional quality, but all the artistic process came from us. This one was made to embarrass the viewers. Nobody wants to have a human head on their…
Metal Dream – Witchunter Art: Paolo Girardi Bio: Founded in 2007, Italy’s Witchunter began as the manifestation of true heavy metal obsession. Foremost among those metallic obsessions were the NWOBHM, ’80s European heavy metal and speed metal, and especially 70s hard rock sounds and attitude. It all coalesced into a paradoxically refreshing time-warp where traditional…

Emetic Communion with Kyle House Art: Kyle House Dragged from the grimey depths of the rivers of Portland, Oregon, the spirit of Decrepisy made flesh in early 2020 comes ripping with a style of regressive, gut-churning death metal only the likes of Kyle House (Vastum, Acephalix) could manifest. With the addition of Jonathan Quintana (Thanamagus,…
Untrue with Mark Sugar Art: Alexandre Goulet Black Sites’ music is directly descended from classic heavy metal and prog-rock bands, but it builds on what those artists did rather than imitate it. I’d like to think that our sound is familiar yet feels new at the same time. Personally, this band is an outlet for…
Futurista with Sars Art: Sars In 2010, Duszę Wypuścił was created. A few years later, it changed its name to Wędrowcy Tułacze Zbiegi. The facts in our music are so irrelevant that this is the most developed biography we can prepare. WTZ music is a tool for unmasking delusions and then creating new ones. So…
Pale Home with Brandon Baun Art: Can Pekdemir Since its conception in 2015, The Drowned God has been known for creating stories wrapped in chaos. The band dives deep into a lyrical well of emotion while hovering somewhere between black metal and hardcore. The newest release, Pale Home, describes a character swallowed up by paranoia…
Coffinized with Jamie Stewart Art: Chad Wehrle Florida’s The Absence came onto the scene in 2005 with their crushing, Erik Rutan-produced Metal Blade Records debut, ‘From Your Grave’.

We’ve released two well-received albums, ‘The Deathcantation’ 2017 and ‘The Last Magic In Practice’ 2021. Our music is a way to vent all there is inside of us. It…
Behind the Scenes with Wolven Deadsoul Art: Mörtuus, Raul Fuentes Dead Soul Alliance began in the summer of 2010 with founding member Wolven Deadsoul. With a demo, two EPs and a full-length release to date, this can be described as death metal of the old-school variety that explores the horrors of the human mind and…

Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction with Rob Wharton Art: Pedro Sena, Lordigan Art I just describe us as death metal anymore, I’ve given up on trying to classify us as any of the sub-genres as there are so many, and we fit into so many. I’ve just settled for calling us death metal at…
