HELLCRAWLER, the post-apocalyptic Death 'n Roll 5-piece from Slovenia, released their debut record a year ago on Hollow Earth Records and I'm just now hearing about it?? There is a little something for everyone on this album - assuming everyone enjoys Entombed, Amebix or Dark Throne. HELLCRAWLER is fast and catchy as well as raw and abrasive. Together with D-beating drums, the guitars chug along headbanger riffs while the singer chokes out an allegory of the apocalypse. After all, the record I have is fittingly called 'Wastelands.' "Hellcrawler are a bunch of cynical [...]
Entombed - Wolverine Blues Heading out to a comic-con early tomorrow morning to geek out all day. The full core cast of Star Trek the Next Generation will be there, as will Stan Lee and Adam West plus many others. Should be a fun filled day for sure! In the meantime, here is Entombed's ode to everybody's favorite Canadian superhero, Wolverine. Live long and Prosper one and all! Peace. http://www.entombed.org/
Ninetone Records has announced that they will be releasing the new Entombed single "Amok" -- yes, a re-recorded version of the song from the album "Serpent saints" -- on May 23.
Gleðjast nú flösuþeytarar nær og fjær! Entombed snýr aftur! Entombed kemur frá Svíþjóð og var stofnuð 1987 fyrst undir nafninu Nihilist .

This week's skyscraping pile of awesome new heavy shit requires two shovels, so I woke Senior Editor Anso DF from his post-weekend coma to help me scoop-and-toss all this hot, stinky metal into your ears and eyes. You'll thank us. Just plug your nose and dive deep into a double-load of Shit That Comes Out Today right [...]
I have no idea how widely it's been reported , but Western Washington underwent some seriously extreme weather this past week, so between working my regular dayjob among itinerant power outages and making sure my family and pets are taken care of, keeping up this site doesn't exactly register on the priority list. So despite the carnage above which shows you the view from my home office window, we are all doing okay, more or less. The fence and the tree, not so much. I'll get back on top of things soon enough.
2011 has been a great year for fantastically heavy albums and God Is War by All Pigs Must Die is right up there. Members of Converge and The Hope Consipracy.
"It was given out that the animals there practiced cannibalism, tortured one another with red-hot horseshoes, and had their females in common. This was what came of rebelling against the laws of Nature, Frederick and Pilkington said." - George Orwell, Animal Farm, Ch. 4 The year is 2031, I have traveled many miles in my search of human contact. Many have fallen in the fight against them. This new being of animal. A much smarter one than the fluffy or edible one from my youth. I have found myself in the now barren wasteland [...]
More than twenty years ago I was interviewed by The Daily Texan, the University of Texas school newspaper, for my role (along with my still best friend, Ray Seggern) as co-host of "The Metal Show" for KTSB (now KVRX), the student-run radio station. One of the quotes I made then that still holds true to [...]
Every single Wednesday without fail, your hosts post a suitably stale video clip that we think needs to be revisited. Click here for more Crusty Clips. Got a clip you think we should post? Send it to crustcake@gmail.com.by Van Damned (TX)Today's Crusty Clip comes in honor of Henke Frykman, long-time bassist for Swedish D-beat bruisers Disfear, who succumbed to cancer on March 25. Rest in peace,
Whenever there is an overwhelming influx of new LPs being sent to my desk from around the world, I often find comfort in taking a break and listening to some older favorites in my collection. These records aren't old enough to write up on a classics column, and they're certainly not new releases, which means ...
In a desolate, windswept region of north-west Wales lies a sheep strewn sea-side town named Prestatyn. Within its bowels is a dinky holiday village that goes by the name of Pontins. Amidst the out of date 1950s chalet glamour (malfunctioning showers, flushing toilets and horrifically stained duvets) several thousand metallers ran, stumbled and fell over ...
If you're reading this, it's safe to say that you probably weren't at this year's Hammerfest. No, if you were at Pontins in Prestatyn this weekend, by all rights you should be slowly crawling back home through the fug of an almighty hangover, and bracing yourself against the after effects of a neck-busting bangover. Well, [...]
If you don't like Entombed, then we're not sure we can be friends anymore. Sorry. That's just the way it's gotta be. -- -- Entombed @ Hammerfest 2011 setlist: Eyemaster Crawl Like This With the Devil Serpent Saints I for an Eye Supposed to Rot When In Sodom The Truth Beyond Stranger Aeons Damn Deal [...]
When I look back at the last twenty years, there is perhaps no more important musical entity in my life than England's EARACHE RECORDS (srs). Back when I was a little kid on a quest to find the fastest, most cock-smashingly brutal music I could get my hands on, I stumbled across a copy of [...]

Black Sleep Of Kali was formed in 2008 by four guys who obviously love vintage amps, gret guitar tone and like to play LOUD. Some of the obvious influences I hear are High On Fire, Torche, Melvins, and some Goatsnake., maybe some Mastodon and Entombed as well. "Our Slow Decay" is a heavy and sludgy album that still has a melodic and sometimes psychedelic side to it. Every song on this album is stuffed with thick, meaty riffs that actually are interesting and stand out from the norm in Stoner/Sludge. Everything about this album is down tuned, heavy, and has [...]
Kurt Ballou is the guitarist for Converge and runs/is Godcity Recording Studio. In both of these capacities he has been a big part of making some of my favorite music ever. Screw the commonly used term "arguably" – Converge's last record is their best/hardest record yet. And Kurt's recording style presents live-sounding documents of aggressive [...]

Music writers are suckers for geography. Tying up groups of bands in neat little localized bows makes for easy copy, with the added benefit that once you pigeonhole a bunch of quasi-related groups - the "Seattle Sound," say - you have that touchstone to deploy next time you feel like phoning in some cheap comparisons. Seattle bands are the order of the day today, though the comparisons will hopefully be hewn from finer stuff. Specifically, two Seattle bands that have recently released new records: The Melvins , and Black Breath . Black [...]
