Throwback: “The IVth Crusade” from Bolt Thrower!

When it comes to the almighty Bolt Thrower, picking a favourite album is damn near impossible. There is a cigarette paper between them, such is the quality of their burnt offerings, so let’s just crack a beer and celebrate an anniversary instead. Recorded at Sawmill Studios in August 1992 with Producer Colin Richardson (Fear Factory,

Throwback: “Simple Survival” by Mushroomhead!

15th August 2006 saw the arrival of a music video for “Simple Survival” in preview of what Cleveland Ohio’s Mushroomhead had to offer with fifth studio album “Saviour Sorrow“.

Throwback: “Breathe the Dust” from Injector!

Celebrating the news that Cartagena, Spain Thrash ‘n Heavy four piece Injector will have a new album out later this year via Art Gates Records, we take a trip down memory lane to where it all began. Taking a DIY or DIE approach, having formed in 2011, June 2013 saw them produce, record, mix and

Throwback: “Everything Sucks” from Dope!

Five years after we inked a 20th anniversary review of their album “Felons and Revolutionaries” the 25th anniversary of the debut album from American Industrial tinged Nu-Metal outfit Dope has come around to bite us on the nose. 1999 was the year in question with the album re-released a year later to include a cover

Throwback: “The World Is Yours” from Arch Enemy!

There is so much Metal out there that a day doesn’t pass by without an anniversary of some kind appearing over the hill like a swarm of locust on the horizon. Which isn’t a hint that we’re talking about that Machine Head album. No instead were focusing on the 8th Anniversary of “Will To Power”

Throwback: “Nowhere” from Murderdolls!

It’s going to sound like a cliché but the highly underrated “Women and Children Last” by Murderdolls celebrates its 14th anniversary this year. Some said the second record from the collaboration between Wednesday 13 and the much missed Joey Jordison (Slipknot, Scar The Martyr, Vimic) failed to capture the magic of the first record but

Throwback: “Monsters Ball” from Butcher Babies!

Time for another nostalgia trip down memory lane.

Two years after debut “Goliath” placed them somewhere in the spectrum between Metalcore, Thrash and Groove

Throwback: “Cosmic Keys To My Creations And Times” by Emperor!

Arguably a contender for the “The Best Black Metal Album of All Time” accolade, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of “In The Nightside Eclipse” by Norwegian Black Metal masters Emperor. A debut album that transcended the notion that the purists have of everything having to be recorded with raw, lo-fi aesthetics it instead combined the

Throwback: “Procreation (Of the Wicked)” from Celtic Frost!

There is a reason that Italian label Time To Kill Records chose to put together “Mesmerized: A Tribute to Celtic Frost” and enlist Camera Obscura Two, Bunker 66, Doomraiser, Necrodeath, Kryptonomicon and Barbarian in doing so. That reason is because the Zurich natives are credited with having a strong influence on the development of several
