Against Evil – Give ’em Hell (Review)

Against Evil - Give 'em HellAgainst Evil are an Indian heavy metal band and this is their third album.

Against Evil play energy-filled heavy metal, and they play it very well.

Obscene – Agony & Wounds (Review)

Obscene - Agony & WoundsThis is the third album from US death metal band Obscene.

I enjoyed 2020’s The Inhabitable Dark and 2022’s …From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon, so knew that Agony & Wounds was destined for my earholes.

Vimur – The Timeless Everpresent (Review)

Vimur - The Timeless EverpresentThis is the fourth album from US black metallers Vimur.

I like Vimur a great deal. 2022’s Transcendental Violence stood out as a quality black metal record, so it’s great to have the band back and delivering the goods. Boasting 41 minutes of new material, The Timeless Everpresent finds Vimur on fine form. The Timeless Everpresent may be as cold as absolute zero, but it’s still a scorcher.
