This is the debut album from Dead Register, a post-metal band from the US.
This is a slightly different take on what most post-metal bands are doing, and Dead Register have managed to pull off an unusual feat – Fiber is not an album that readily sounds like many others out there. Continue reading “Dead Register – Fiber (Review)”
Craven Idol – The Shackles of Mammon (Review)

Deathinition – Online (Review)
Deathinition are a Polish thrash metal band and this is their debut album.
Here we have around 40 minutes of charismatic music. Thrash and groove metal collide to create an enjoyable album that’s worth exploring. Think classic Anthrax and Testament with some groove metal modernity added in. Continue reading “Deathinition – Online (Review)”
