Today is a good day to be a fan of the progressive. Let's get right down to it... It's not difficult to hear that Ludicra and Hammers of Misfortune share guitarist John Cobbett; the bands sound very different from one another, but there's a certain harmonic connection that's apparent on first listen of Hammers of [...]

• Metal Blade Records - Hammers of Misfortune "The Grain"

Click play on the above YouTube video. Do it if you like good metal. If "In Crude, I Remain" by Orwell reminds you a tad bit of their fellow Wisconsonians in Iron Thrones you've actually hit the nail right on the head: Iron Thrones guitarist Steve Henningsgard produced their forthcoming album AVOHFASIH (out September 6th). No [...]

As the year is comes to a close, we will be taking you through the Best of 2010. Over the next couple of days, expect top 10 album lists from most of our writers, as well as the top stories & videos of the year. Don't forget, you can still submit your Top 10 album ...

Photo by Jeremy Saffer The latest sign for Guy Kozowyk's Black Market Activities label is New Jersey's Fit for an Autopsy. The band is notable for several reasons (besides the fact that they're good, I mean), namely: They are that rarest of breeds - a good deathcore band. After seeing them live last year, our [...]

With all the blabbering on we did about the Scion No Label Needed Contest in the first half of this year there's no way you missed hearing about Iron Thrones, a band so deserving of winning the contest that my faith in the intelligence of the average metalhead on the Internet is [somewhat, almost] restored. [...]

It's been quite a year for Minneapolis' Iron Thrones. They won the Metal Insider/No Label Needed Contest, recorded an EP (The Wretched Sun) and hit the road. We recently caught up with guitarist Steve Henningsgard and discussed their hometown, their perfect show lineup and of course, their Taco Bell perfect creation! Feed The Beat: If [...]

Image from J. Randall's blog. I'm assuming he made this; the car model is actually called the "Hako." Hey, remember yesterday, when we told you about that free EP that Magrudergrind are giving away in conjunction with Scion? Well Agoraphobic Nosebleed's J. Randall apparently isn't too happy about Magrudergrind associating themselves with the corporate entity [...]

Wow, guys. I am honestly shocked. A couple of weeks ago six of you were able to successfully identify the most unreadable band logo we've ever run - but not a single one of you got last week's logo, which belongs to the band Spermtomitosis. Way to let me down. So: that means we still [...]

Congrats to Brandon Mickman, who correctly identified last week's logo as belonging to the band Paediatrician. Brandon wins one copy each of two new projects from Pyramids' R. Loren — Sailors with Wax Wings' self-titled CD (which you can also order here) and White Moth's self-titled CD (which can be purchased here). YYYYYAAAAAYYYYY BRANDON!!! I'm very stoked about this week's [...]

Two bands we are very excited about are touring together. You may remember Iron Thrones as the band we've covered as the winners of Scion's No Label Needed contest. The other, a new Relapse signee, Hero Destroyed. These are two working-class bands who are teaming up for a string of shows. If you happen to ...

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Vince and I are taking over WSOU tomorrow from 4 -8! It's the only radio station on the eastern seaboard that's actually worth a damn, and it's gonna have the awesomeness that is US, so listen in!!! We'll be taking callers, too. If you live in the area, it's 89.5 FM on your [...]

That's Steve's manly beard on the far left! At this point Scion No Label Needed Contest winners Iron Thrones need no introduction. Their resulting debut full-length The Wretched Sun is fantastic, and you should check it out immediately if you haven't already done so. We're really happy that the band that won this contest is actually deserving [...]

Holy shit, is it seriously August already? It's gonna start getting cold soon. Motherfucker. Here's what we did this week when we should have been enjoying the sunshine and fresh air: We're streaming Dementia/Dyslexia, the Metal Blade debut of Fleshwrought, a new project from Animosity/Animals as Leaders' Navene Koperweis and Job for a Cowboy's Jonny Davy. We [...]

I know it's a trite thing to say, but it really does seem like just yesterday that we kicked off this whole Scion No Label Needed Contest back in January - and now, nearly 7 months later here we are at the release day of The Wretched Sun, the amazing new album by contest winners [...]

We know we're a little late to the party here, but cut us some slack... we were way too busy being nice to everyone yesterday! Not that there's any reason not to be nice to Iron Thrones. But, ya know, we were pre-occupied. So forgive us for being a little tardy to the party. Two weeks [...]

by: Robert Pasbani We've been documenting Iron Thrones' recording their new album, The Wretched Son as part of our No Label Needed Series presented by Scion. Thusly, we have had the privelage to rock out to the album for some time now. It's quite the keeper, I must say. The guys delivered in a big way ...

I have heard the entire new Iron Thrones album, The Wretched Sun. And it is good. Very good. Now you can get a taste of it too in a "making of" clip video premiered by our proteges at The Number of the Blog. The track "I Once Had the Crown" serves as the background music for [...]

As part of our ongoing coverage of the Scion No Label Needed series, today we've got the latest video documenting the music industry crash-course bestowed upon much-deserved contest winners Iron Thrones. In this installment, Iron Thrones drummer Pete Clarke lays down drum tracks with Machine Shop producer Will Putney behind the boards. Remember in Some Kind of Monster [...]

As part of our ongoing coverage of the Scion No Label Needed series, today we've got the latest video documenting the music industry crash-course bestowed upon much-deserved contest winners Iron Thrones. In this installment, the band gets to take some new pics with renowned metal photographer Jeremy Saffer. I love this kinda shit, 'cause I've never [...]
