Ever since I heard there was a supergroup comprised of Gorgoroth, Anthrax, Cradle of Filth, Enslaved and The Cult members, I've been wondering what the fuck that would sound like. I always expect black metal musicians, like King ov Hell, to only play black metal, but I guess that isn't the case in 2012. Several members ...
"Scheduling has been a nightmare for a long time," says guitarist Rob Caggiano about Temple Of The Black Moon. That seems like hyperbole, but gosh maybe not: TotBM drummer John Tempesta has been dashing between The Cult and Testament tours; singer Dani Filth's full time job is Cradle Of Filth; Caggiano is bound to Anthrax's [...]
Sweden's Valkyrja has checked in with the following announcement about upcoming European tour dates with Gorgoroth and Vader: "'The Sign of Hell Tour 2011' will be the tour to keep your eyes upon when the current season of light and warmth has withdrawn. "Fronted by two of the titans of their kind, Gorgoroth and Vader will - alongside Valkyrj... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

Tombs' Path Of Totality topped my list of the Top 26 Metal Albums Of 2011 So Far . I was curious what sort of personal soundtrack went into that muscular, violent, surprisingly delicate and detailed blend of New York noise-rock, black metal, and industrialized blast-beat shoegaze, so I asked them to make a related mix. Before you listen, take a look at vocalist/guitarist/band leader Mike Hill's thoughts on his appropriately dark, punk, and very heavy inspiration playlist. He offers insightful background for fans of the album/trio, but even if you're not into Tombs, [...]
Say, are you one of the three people in the world who not only thought that metal needed another supergroup, but also thought that metal needed another supergroup featuring Anthrax/The Damned Things guitarist Rob Caggiano? If so, have we got a band for you! They're called Temple of the Black Moon, and in addition to [...]
By Graham Hartmann In the spirit of Black Metal History Month, in this year of our Lord 2011, it's only right that we acknowledge the enlightened souls who have made black metal so important. Of course by this I mean the artists who have committed incredibly hateful, violent and sacrilegious crimes, launching them to worldwide ...
FEATURING MEMBERS OF INTRONAUT, DARKEST HOUR, THE RED CHORD, KYLESA, GORGOROTH, CORMORANT, RETURN TO EARTH, KRIEG, LAZARUS A.D., HAIL OF BULLETS, AND BLOODHORSE For 2010, we decided to do something special as part of our regular end-of-year festivities here at MetalSucks - namely, ask musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in [...]
What does Bastions guitarist, Jamie McDonald, have in common with Gaahl, the grim gay icon of Black Metal? They're both men of very few words, for starters. If you could have Christmas dinner with any 6 people, who would you invite? Henry Rollins, Jacob Bannon, Gaahl, Wes Eisold, Ben Phillips and Phil Anselmo. I like [...]
Full disclosure: I own a pair of Converse. They're my favorite sneakers. They cost forty bucks, have no shoelaces, and provide roughly the same amount of comfort and protection as wrapping my feet in tissue paper would have done. Cheap, pointless, and comfortable: now that's fucking metal. So. I was catching up on my Deciblog [...]

Photo: Christian Misje Time to bust out your corpse paint and spiked gauntlets. Gorgoroth is almost done with A COMPLETE RE-RECORDING OF Under The Sign Of Hell. As of a week ago the final touches are being put on it at Tomas Asklund's Monolith Studios. In addition to this, Gorgoroth (I like typing Gorgoroth , and saying it. Just rolls of the tongue so well) is beginning work on as-of-yet untitled full length slated for a 2011 release date. If you're [...]

Udite udite devoti del Black Metal: una delle band più note fra gli appassionati è in procinto di esibirsi in territorio italico. Si tratta dei norvegesi Gorgoroth , veri e propri profeti di questo controverso (controversissimo) genere musicale. Dal comunicato stampa di Hellfire Promotion: «La band norvegese è l'esempio vivente di cosa sia il Black Metal : musica estrema, liriche taglienti con tematiche care ai fan del genere e esibizioni al limite della "legalità". Nati nei primi anni '90 e passati in mezzo a cambi di formazione e guai con la giustizia, la Band capitanata [...]
Metal fans have been buzzing for months about Until The Light Takes Us, but official screenings have been few and far between. Consequently, 99% of the film's core audience hasn't seen the saga of the Norwegian black metal scene as told by filmmakers Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell. That's all going to change on September [...]
Oh dear sweet God, we are afraid. Click here to see the rest of our coverage of Bloodstock Open Air 2010.

Good morning! All of our American readers, hope you enjoyed your three-day weekend - everyone else, uh, good morning! When I was in college I did a stupid internship at a radio station, and because I was literally the last one to sign up they gave me a late-night/early-morning shift (midnight-6 a.m. Sunday and Monday mornings). Anyway, this morning DJ who went on the air at 6 a.m. asked that we cue up Cat Stevens' "Morning Has Broken" in order to gently shake awake those listeners who set their alarm clocks to "music." On those days that he [...]
In his review of The Underworld Regime, the debut album of "black metal dream team" Ov Hell, our own Sammy O'Hagar wrote the following: With a group of dudes as impressive as this, all the great things about black metal are all but guaranteed to show up. And they do: the riffs are wall-to-wall [...]
We are extremely honored to be bringing you an exclusive album stream of Ov Hell's new release, The Underworld Regime. Ov Hell is the black metal super group collaboration between Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir& King from Gorgoroth featuring guest appearances from Frost of Satyricon, Ice Dale of Enslaved and Teloch of God Seed.

As further proof that occasional moments of brightness prick through the otherwise cold, dark reality of life, Fear Factory's Burton C. Bell and Dino Cazares put aside their (rather sizable) differences this year and released Mechanize, an album this year that ranks among the industrial-groove mechanics very best. What sweetens this particular deal all the more is the recent announcement of their
I suppose I distrust supergroups because it's too easy. Throw a bunch of dudes in bands people like together and it should instantly equal something people like/something people will throw money down to hear. And while there are exceptions (Them Crooked Vultures, Shrinebuilder, Cream) to the eating-up-downtime/cash grab rule, it's more often than not the [...]
