Lightning Swords Of Death's new record Baphometic Chaosium rocks in a way that is different from most Black Metal. Maybe it's the L.A. connection, or maybe it's just a coincidence. Either way, it is quite good. Maybe it is pretty great; not just quite good. One of the best the genre has to offer? I guess time will tell. - By JH Statts.
Today is the last day of February and thus concludes another awesome round of Black Metal History Month. If you missed any of our frostbitten and grim coverage, here is a look back at what we posted: The Fix, our music video show, went ALL BLACK METAL with videos from Gorgoroth, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Satyricon ...

Some metal bands are awesome at everything ... except picking a band name.
Every eighteen months or so I find myself digging through my music vault in search of albums by the Records, Bram Tchaikovsky and Brinsley Schwartz. There's a certain nostalgic itch that can only be scratched by the power pop and pub rock of another era. Given everything that's transpired in the past three decades, it's impossible for today's musicians to match that gloriously naive sound. Or is it? Lonely Tonight , the latest release by Kansas City's Phil Neal & the Wornalls , is a pitch-perfect throwback to that [...]
Overtly sinister sonic imagery requires some suspension of disbelief on my part. Either I’ll buy into a band’s bombast and bluster, or their attempts to evoke evil will fall hilariously flat, obscuring the music below. On their third full-length, Lightning Swords of Death deftly thread the needle of depravity, creating an immersive and convincingly blasphemous ...

Lightning Swords Of Death Baphometic Chaosium Metal Blade 21 January 2013 by Tom Dare It's been a rough couple of years for black metal albums. A few major bands have fluffed their lines, a few others have been away from the studio, and the relentless mediocrity of far too much of the rest has only been briefly punctuated by the genuine class of Altar Of Plagues , God Seed and a couple of others. But hopes are high for 2013, [...]
Nah, totally kidding, we already knew how to do that... we've been practicing for years!!!

Black metallers release new NSFW video.
This is only a hypothesis but I bet that if the centaurs, satyrs and other mystical, elvish creatures in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings were played by descendents of Rob Halford and members of Judas Priest instead of the Aerosmith spawn Liv Tyler and other various blonde actors, this is what it would have looked like. The official video for Lightning Swords of Death's title track "Baphometic Chaosium" pulls out every stop from the black metal playbook: spikes, chokers, pentagons, naked goat-headed women, maniacal laughter, sacrifices, unreadable ancient language-and all in black and white, [...]

This might be the first black metal record that makes you want to tear your shirt off, shout at the sky, and duff someone right in their fucking mouth
... L.A.’s Lightning Swords of Death play the kind of black metal that makes you smile despite of yourself. It's evil, blasphemous, violent and just self-aware enough about all those traits that it never becomes off-puttingly menacing or misanthropic. If you question LSOD’s dedication to having a good time, look no further than the stage names of members Farron Loathing and Inverted Chris. Tongue, meet cheek. Check out the exclusive new track “R’lyeh Wuurm” and the title track from Baphometic Chaosivm , the band’s first album since [...]
by ill? ya! (NYC) Unholy shit! Apparently the spring thaw brings sunshine, warmer weather and a fuck-load of hate and darkness. March is bloated with shows, so choose carefully (and stock up on earplugs). This week, I assume most of you will steer clear of ol' Dani Filth. Oh, Nachtmystium are on that bill? Good for them. Instead, catch the old-school death/thrash of Master and the unfuckwithable
By Atanamar Sunyata Black metal means many things to many people. The longevity of the genre is due in no small part to the malleability of its musical tenets. Misanthropy forms the dark heart of black metal's ethos, while a predilection for speed, tremolo picked guitars, screeching vocals and bleak blastbeats serve as common aural ...
DOWNLOAD : Master - "In Control" (from Slaves of Society ) " Dragging its venomous oldschool intent like a caveman with his club, MASTER are proudly living up to their name and taking their place among death metal's founding fathers. " - Terrorizer Death metal legends Master are proud to announce their 2011 U.S. headlining tour. Scheduled to take place next month, the debauchery will commence on March 1 in Fredrick, Maryland and run through over a month's worth of dates before coming to a close on [...]
When it comes to old school death metal, nobody is more old school than Master. Paul Speckmann has been doing this thing since 198-fucking-3, as evidenced by a beard that would put most Isis fans to shame. He now resides in the Czech Republic, a country more known for wacky grind than straight-ahead metal, but he comes over to the other side of the pond every once in a while. He'll do it again in
