Metal Monday Volume 111 (2.25.13)

Metal Monday Volume 111 (2.25.13)

In its’ third incarnation, Zozobra is essentially Cave In minus Stephen Brodsky and with bassist Caleb Scofield at the mic once again, there’s no doubt that it’s going to be absolutely brutal and visceral.

Guitarist Adam McGrath absolutely shreds […]

Are we really still doing this?) is back to destroy expectations and the competition completely. The first offering from April’s THR!!!LLER, “Slyd” is solid !!! through and through albeit a little bit more futuristic (Think of the song as a natural progression of “The Hammer” from Strange Weather…). Vocalist Nic Offer is mesmerizing even […]
