After composing music for countless Norwegian films and TV shows and even winning a Norwegian Emmy, a love for extreme metal genres sees solo project ILLT unleashed on the world.
Introducing: ILLT
Introducing: Greybeard
Emerging from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Calgary band Greybeard offer up a delicious fusion of metal influences, from black metal and death metal to atmospheric and progressive elements.
Introducing: KVLTMOR
You often here people who aren't fans of metal lazily denigrate the genre as "the Devil's music." Well, in this case, they'd be absolutely correct. The main source of inspiration for Russian band KVLTMOR is the Diabolica Quimbanda, a sinister Occult black magic tradition that dates back to the forgotten bowels of human history.
Discover This: Renunciation
If you like your metal dark, fierce, intense and unrelentingly heavy then we think you're going to love the sound of Russian newcomers Renunciation.

Our first introduction to Swiss black metal act Blackwall was a combination of their huge sound and their description of the band as "five average guys with an above-average hatred of today's world."

Christmas is less than one week away, which means the days are getting shorter and darker. And that darkness is matched by the music of Vesperwynd from the wintery woods of Michigan.
Introducing: MØL
Green and purple. Peanut butter and jam (jelly) - wait, that one definitely doesn't work. Chocolate and sausages (seriously, try it). All of these things absolutely definitely shouldn't go together, but somehow they just kind of work when they do. That same sentiment should also apply to the fusion of Black Metal with Shoegaze. Yet... Continue Reading →
Introducing: The Earthwalker Project
Today we're introducing you to something wholly unique and potentially exciting, The Earthwalker Project. Not only does it have an amazing name, but the solo metal project of Joe Kearney also sounds pretty damn good too. The Earthwalker Project began in earnest in August, and sees Kearney become the ultimate one-man band as he takes on guitars, bass,... Continue Reading →
