Artist: black breath

After a Friday appearance at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest on Friday (4/19) , OSDM/hardcore fiends Black Breath and Brooklyn black-metal punks Mutilation Rites teamed with Brooklyn's White Widows to play a pair of dates on the East Coast, including Saturday's stop at Knitting Factory on April 20 . The show was Mutilation Rites' first appearance back in Brooklyn since their recent Invisible Oranges-sponsored run with Inter Arma throughout March and the beginning of April , and their enthusiasm to be back [...]

Drunk Music Reviews  is exactly what it sounds like: Caitlin Behle reviews shows while progressively getting drunker, while illustrator  John Sebastian  turns the drunken reviews, which could be ridiculous, sloppy or just plain insulting, into a comic. DAY 3 March 16 As I'm writing this, it's become apparent that our true Drunk Music Reviews-styleSXSW coverage is pretty weak. We work best as a team, illustrating and reviewing shows together.  But the truth is we went down there without a [...]

Nails Abandon All Life Southern Lord 01 April 2013 by Raziq Rauf This album leaked a long time ago. It was the middle of February – six weeks before it was meant to be released to the public. The clamour to hear Abandon All Life was so tangible because this is one of the most [...]

Finnish grind gods announce North American headlining tour.

When the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest announced their initial lineup a few weeks ago, it was already unfuckwithable. Anthrax (playing Among The Living), Opeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Hatebreed, Exodus, Shadows Fall...and others were already enough to get me excited. Today, they announced the addition of a few new bands, including The Dillinger Escape Plan. ... The post New England Metal and Hardcore Fest Adds DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Amongst Others To 2013 Lineup appeared first on Metal Injection .

Other additions include Alleageon, Alpha & Omega, Antagonist A.D., and bands whose name does not begin with the letter "A."

by Fred Pessaro // BBG Black Breath at Acheron, July 2012 ( more by Fred Pessaro // BBG ) Once Mutilation Rites return from their Invisible Oranges sponsored trek to SXSW, look for the band to team with Black Breath and White Widows for a show at Knitting Factory on April 20 . Tickets are on sale. The show is the same [...]

Aaron Beam, bassist for Portland’s Red Fang , once told me that he believed the long-standing punk-versus-metal dichotomy died when Metallica’s 1984 sophomore album Ride the Lightning came out. I believe he is correct, and the fact that Oakland, California’s Neurosis formed in 1985 only provides more evidence for that historical marker. Few bands with nearly 30 years of history command as much respect within those previously divergent communities than Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till, Dave Edwardson, Noah Landis, and Jason Roeder. Inspired in large part by British crust punk pioneers Amebix , supported [...]

Ring in the new year with Pickwick! / photo by Jim Bennett With Christmas over and the holidays all but wrapped up, there's only one thing left to do: celebrate the New Year!

Well, it's all been leading to this. The votes are in, the results have been tabulated, calculated, and any other kind of mathematically something-lated you can think of. This is the Thrash Hits Top 20 Albums of 2012. And just how did we work this out? We took everyone's individual lists, and gave each album a score from 1 to 20 depending on how high it fell in the list. We then added up all the points, and voila - the collective list was born. In the case of a [...]

So we've already published part 1 , part 2 AND Dep Ed, Hugh Platt's Albums of the Year lists, so now it's time for the next stage of #RaziqRaufsReignOfTerror. Here's the eclectic and ridiculous list of Raziq Rauf. While he's happiest writing an introduction about himself in the Third Person, he, like Hugh, stuck to the rules. Pretty much. All 20 albums are from 2012 and there aren't any Best Ofs. There aren't even any EPs actually. He's just not that DIY. He's explained his Top 10 because he [...]

2012 will not see end of the world, or extreme music for that matter. However, if this was the end of Metal and Hardcore as we know it, the year 2012 would make quite a grand finale. So many great records came out this year that I decided to stretch this article to a more ... The post Drew Zalucky's 25 Best of 2012 List appeared first on Metal Injection .

It's that time of year again. LISTS! There seem to be a lot of opinions floating around about year-end lists. How you should do them... how you should not do them... that you should not do them. But I don't care about that. I enjoyed making my year-end list and I loved talking about why this music made my year. I've chosen 30 albums to share with you over the next five days and if you care to read it I hope you enjoy it!  ... [...]
