Cauldron is due to kick off the tour on February 24th in Bielefeld, Germany, with support for the tour coming from fellow Canadians Striker. The newly-added dates include shows in Hamburg (Germany), Marseille... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
Jason Decay from Cauldron knows more about old bands than us. We can't decide whether he likes bands so obscure that even our mopst rigourous Google searches can't find them, or whether our Christmas questions annoyed him so much so that he just mades up a fake band to see if we'd publish any old [...]
Greetings and Salutations! Horn here, with a few more wee lil' reviews for you to scan. Please do enjoy! Cauldron- Burning Fortune: A cruder, lumbering, crusty, heavier Dokken-- whoever writes the riffs loves that fifth-chord-to-flatted-sixth thing that George Lynch does in every other Dokken song (see: "In My Dreams," "Alone Again," and "Breaking the Chains")-- I didn't realize that this single type of riff could nearly instantly take me back to watching VHS tapes of Headbanger's Ball in 1987. Track "Rapid City" is [...]
Happy Canada Day Metalheads! Today I am celebrating Canada! In my opinion, one of the best countries in the world - despite your political, religious or any other views, there is no denying were pretty luck to live here, mostly because of our awesome metal! I have compiled a list of my favourite Canadian metal! Ion Dissonance Strapping Young Lad Threat Signal Despised Icon [...]
Like a list on Cracked's website, I've gone through all 14 songs from Earache Records' new compilation, New Noise Attack, and stripped away the hype and puffery from each track, essentially translating each into fanspeak, or, What You'll Probably Say After Hearing Each Number. Follow that? Yeah, you did. Nice. Track 1-- Enforcer's "Midnight Vice": practically straight out of 1985, even production wise (light on the bass, drums doing nothing beyond bumpa-chih, bumpa-chih, bumpa-chih), this literally could've come straight from the last hour of Headbanger's Ball (were it actually around in 1985)-- sounds like Krokus. [...]
by BBG Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries cover "For twenty-five years, Norway's Slayer Mag published the gospel of black metal and death metal, combining eye-ripping graphics, brutally honest writing, and relentless offbeat humor. With this anthology/memoir, editor Jon "Metalion" Kristiansen unfolds the extreme highs and lows of a life lived for heavy metal. Founded in 1985 in Sarpsborg, Norway, Slayer Mag quickly rose to prominence by championing countless unsigned death metal pioneers. The pages of Slayer Mag exploded along with the extreme metal underground, and [...]
XTC : Summer's Cauldron [ purchase ] In nature, crickets and birds do not chirp precisely on the beat. That they do here is most likely the fault of producer Todd Rundgren. This approach to music making perfectly fits this paean to the natural world. Elsewhere on the album Skylarking, Rundgren's production gets a little heavy-handed for my taste. But here on the song that opens the album, everything works just right.
A double-bill of Cauldron and Holy Grail should make for a hot show. Tickets for the show at Union Pool are $10 and like-minded local band Wizardry is opening the show. Rising stars of metal Holy Grail will be teaming up with Cauldron for a North American trek. The tour touches down in Brooklyn, NY on Wednesday, May 4th at Union Pool. Holy Grail will close all U.S shows and Cauldron will close all Canadian dates. Holy Grail has been touring in support of their critically-acclaimed Fall 2010 release, Crisis [...]
I'm going to put approximately as much work into this introduction as Zakk Wylde did the writing of the last BLS album. I'm actually going to begin today with a video that I think is legitimately good, because I need to wash the taste of so much cinemetallic poo out of my mouth. The band [...]

New releases by Deicide, Neuraxis and Total Fucking Destruction top this week's list of new metal albums available in the States. While the new one from Emmure is guaranteed to outsell them all (combined!), we can take solace in the fact that there a smattering of other great new releases too from the likes of [...]
A varied selection of heavy and not so heavy music for the week.
What do Santa and Lion-o from the Thundercats have in common? Apart from a hearty laugh/battle-cry involving the word "ho"? Well, they both feature in our Christmas interrogation of Jason Decay and Ian Chains from Cauldron. What is your favourite Christmas drink? Ian Chains: Pretty much the same as any other time of the year. [...]
Nowadays, classic metal seems all the rage - some cool kid told me this while walking to the market - and with MetalSucks doing the whole "Ten Great Bands That Inadvertently Helped Ruin Heavy Metal" thing, I got to thinking: how did metal become metal? We all know the Sabbath/Priest/Zeppelin "who started heavy metal" debate, [...]

MetalSucks photo guru Diana Lee Zadlo captured the madness that was the MetalSucks-sponsored Waste the World tour when it hit Philadelphia, PA's First Unitarian Church (churches are metal) on December 10th. The pit was so brutal for Municipal Waste that Diana had a hard time getting shots of all the band members, but what she [...]
Jesus Chirst on a pogo stick! Municipal Waste has been one of my favorite bands for quite some time now, but for some reason, every time they come around, I can't make the show. So needless to say, I was stoked out of my mind for this show.Only problem? I got home from work, and felt like complete shit. I actually passed out for a good 45 minutes before the show started, and when I woke up had a
The MetalSucks-sponsored Waste The World Tour (featuring Municipal Waste, with Goatwhore, Brutal Truth, Phobia and Cauldron on as support for various dates) is off to a wet start. On the tour's fifth show - Wednesday night in Houston, TX - a fan decided it'd be a good idea to climb on the pipes hanging from [...]
Reader Brandon Fountain sent us a link to the below video of members of At the Gates and Municipal Waste getting drunk and/or high together on ATG's awesome reunion tour last year. It's not really all that exciting, but a) it's a slow news day, b) it gives you the chance to live vicariously through [...]
