If you haven’t heard Wo Fat before I urge you to check them out. As far as I’m concerned they’re one of the best bands out there playing stoner/doom rock/metal. Continue reading “Interview with Wo Fat”
Temple of Void are a death/doom band from the US and this is their second album.

This is the latest EP from Swiss post-black metal band Schammasch.
Oh, Schammasch. You never quite know what they’re going to do next. Their last album, the colossal and immense Triangle, was so good it made it to the second position in my best of 2016 list.

Faunus is a one-man Greek black metal band and this is his debut album.
This is atmospheric black metal, with long songs that are inspired by the natural world.

This is the third album from this German death metal band.
Ingurgitating Oblivion’s second album Continuum of Absence was notable, enjoyable, and distinctly non-standard, offering doom-infused dissonance that was a bit different and had something extra to offer the listener.

One of the reasons I love what I do at Wonderbox Metal is that I get exposed to some amazing music that I might not have ever encountered otherwise. This latest release by Vin de Mia Trix is exactly one of the reasons why I find running this site so fulfilling.
