It’s their first release on Empire Records […]

3 songs which gives a sense of what has been and what could have been with Bodom After Midnight. A worthy addition to Alexi Laiho’s repertoire and career. May the Wildchild rest/shred in peace.

The fourth album from thrash veterans Heathen was long overdue, but definitely worth the wait!

Thrash/death powerhouse Nervosa is back with a vengeance. With a brand new lineup and a blistering new album.

With the newest album, Sodom rides the maelstrom of violence, “Genesis XIX” is yet another worthy album added to the band’s extending catalog.
