Rebel Wizard – Voluptuous Worship of Rapture and Response (Review)
This is the second album from Australian one man blackened heavy metal band Rebel Wizard.
I like Rebel Wizard, (see here and here). Mixing together a personable and charismatic blend of black, thrash, and heavy metal, Rebel Wizard’s music is harsh, underground, fuzzed out, and lethally effective. Continue reading “Rebel Wizard – Voluptuous Worship of Rapture and Response (Review)”

The Agony Scene are a US metal band and this is their fourth album.
Tormentor is the first release from The Agony Scene since 2007’s Get Damned. I always liked this band’s razor-sharp take on modern metal, so it’s great to hear them make a return. Continue reading “The Agony Scene – Tormentor (Review)”
