Nephelium is a phenomenal band. They seamlessly blend new techniques with tried-and-true methods of classic death metal. Being labled as "Metal juggarnauts" suits Nephelium , the way they combine classic death metal growls with punishing guitars, and unmerciful drumming. Their newest album, Coils of Entropy harks back to classic death metal bands such as their influencers Death, and Suffocation . They're not just brutal, but slam your head against the wall fantastic. With vocals that often break down to animalistic roars and screeches, punching guitar riffs backed by some of the best double [...]

After spending the majority of my day listening to a whole heap of new music (soon to be featured on Show & Tell), I thought why not spend the whole day listening to music? It's a tough job but somebody has to do it. So I braved the cold and journeyed to the Green Note in Camden to see the very talented singer-songwriter Mirel Wagner. Mirel is a 23 year old singer, born in Ethiopia and raised in Finland, who released her self-titled record on Bon Voyage records in October, a collection of chillingly haunting songs that fit the icy [...]

Benny Hill in his sixties heyday. "The notion that Benny was a lonely man is so depressing and wrong. He just liked his own company. He was very happy walking alone, living alone, eating alone, taking holidays alone and going to see shows alone. I often wonder whether he needed anybody else in his life at all…except perhaps a cameraman". - Bob Monkhouse On Easter Sunday morning in 1992, and just two hours after he had been speaking to a television producer [...]

by Polly Bresnick Etta James, who passed away last week, could not only sing with searing soul that simultaneously strikes fear and sorrow and strength into the hearts of anyone who hears her voice, but she also bridged the gap between R&B and Rock & Roll back when people were still impressed by that kind of feat, way back when a band of light-skinned black girls was called the "Creolettes," way back when the song title "Roll With Me Henry" was so suggestive for a fourteen-year-old girl to sing, that the title was changed for [...]

Legendary blues singer Etta James who is most famous for her rendition of "At Last" has passed away. Etta is one of the movers and shakers of pop history and no diva is the same without her legacy. Beyonce played her in Cadillac Records and she revolutionized her genre to another level. Sad to hear of her passing. She has passed away at the age of 73.

Woods Of Ypres Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light Earache Records 13 February 2012 by Tom Dare By now, you're probably aware Woods Of Ypres mainman David Gold died on 21 December 2011. What was meant to be the first album he'd have had significant label backing for after plugging away in the Canadian underground for a decade, has instead turned out to be his last. This is obviously a delicate record to analyse, but whatever the background, [...]

Technical music has had a complicated and busy year in which death metal was pulled in three directions. Technical thrash flourished, bringing to mind the late '80s and early '90s heydays. Djent and instrumental metal had their best years ever. And, as they always seem to, the metalcore, deathcore, and brutal/slam subgenres coughed up a few quality albums as well. In this article, I'm going to examine each subgenre's best album of the year and call attention to other high-quality efforts. The best album has a YouTube video embedded with it. After that will be a YouTube playlist with the [...]

I thought this was interesting.. not sure I'm a huge fan of the actual music.. but this guy is going hard at Tyler & (Yukonn's favorite MC of the year) Hopsin. After listening to Tyler's "Bastard" album, Poetic shouted out OFWGKTA In His "Pokerface" video. He was expecting Tyler's movement to carry the torch for the upcoming generation, but it wasn't until Tyler released "Goblin" some months down the line that Poetic realized OFWGKTA couldn't be the face of this generation. In regards to Hopsin, Poetic claims dude just tries to hard and needs to focus [...]

Twitter's #1 trending topic worldwide right now is Jon Bon Jovi. The rumor is that the "Chelsea Girl" singer is dead. No news yet that is official and a part of us feels like some people could have phonetically mistake the lead singer of Bon Jovi with Kim Jong Il. Maybe? What do you think. I hope he didn't pass away. UPDATE : He's not. Me 2! Can't believe Jon Bon Jovi is DEAD! He was such a sweetheart in real life! RT @ doronofircast : I am devastated! fb.me/1eJFI3ais [...]

Richard Christy is more metal than you. In addition to drumming for his own project, Charred Walls of The Damned , he's previously bashed the skins for Death and Iced Earth .

I often find that the word "Visionary" seldom makes it's way to most written vocabularies when describing artists these days. To open your mind to the possibility that someday in the future people around the world will fully realize the vision you bestow upon them today is not only risky in the entertainment business, it's ...

Ten years ago today Death mastermind Chuck Schuldiner died of a brain tumor. It'd be hard to argue that Schuldiner didn't have a massive influence upon all the metal that followed after Death; while Death may not have ever achieved close to the mainstream metal notoriety that Metallica and Pantera did, I can't think of [...]

Italian prog metal maestros Ephel Duath are really just an Italian prog metal maestro, singular - the band has gone through something like 1,864,093 line-up changes since 1998, with guitarist Davide Tiso being the only constant. Do hardcore Ephel Duath fans consider that a total bummer, or do they not care? Regardless, this news should make [...]
