Good morning! Axl's on vacation through the end of the week, meaning it's just you and your creepy Uncle Vince alone in the Mansion for the duration. Don't tell mommy about the special secret private fun times we have together, ok? I hear Anso DF, Justin M. Norton and Shanbomb are going to be dropping [...]

Borknagar Urd Century Media 26 March 2012 by Tom Dare If you read my pieces on the evolution of black metal  here on Thrash Hits recently, you could be forgiven for missing the mention of Borknagar . They've been slightly overshadowed by some of their more celebrated compatriots – the price of being Norwegian is the instant mental comparisons to Emperor, Enslaved and the like, which is deeply unfair – and they've never quite got their dues. But with [...]

All this week, Tom Dare has been guiding you through how Black Metal has evolved over the course of the last two decades (check out parts one , two , three and four if you haven't already). Now, as the week draws to a close, we've asked Tom to put together the songs that have made it happen into a Spotify Slaylist , and in doing to to lovingly cobble them together in an order that somehow tries to make sense of the wildly differing styles that constitute the genre these [...]

Make sure you've got plenty of time to crank this new stuff before continuing, because it's all great! Let's go: Nightrage are about as traditional of a "Gothenburg" metal band [...]

With it coming down to the last days of August, the temperature here in Arkansas is still reaching a hundred and five degrees on some days. After going through the miserable heat wave that took several peoples lives when it got as hot as a hundred sixteen degrees at times, I was more than welcoming winter to completely destroy us and bury me in snow.
