The third full-length No Age record is now up for preorder. ”Everything In Between”, their second for Sub Pop, is quite simply their best record yet. The band sounds more mature with every new release, constantly expanding their influences, yet not making them too obvious. The LP comes with a 48 page book for $23 [...]
Raging metal from Oslo, now primed for distribution on American shores. Of course, this LP has been out for a little while at ormeyngel.bigcartel.com, not sure what took it so long to make it over here. Rough sailing I suppose. Those in need of a dose of evil can now fill their prescriptions at stickfiguredistro.com. The [...]
Necrotic, filthy metal from Madrid. The original pressing has been difficult (read: expensive) to track down, so folks who were too scared to order the first time better jump on this most recent pressing – which is likely to vanish back into the Ebay ether in very short order. Timo Ketola’s artwork on this release [...]
Just got this 7″ in the mail from Boston band Libyans, and for us folks still seeking and buying punk rock records, this is a welcome surprise. The two ferocious tunes here remind me of everything I was listening to in the 90s, plus all the earlier bands that influenced them. It is also packaged beautifully in [...]
Vinyl and cassette version of the much loved sophomore effort from Obliteration, first released on CD in 2009. This Swedish Nordic death metal masterwork gets a lot of attention these days, not least of all because of the generous praise heaped onto it by Fenriz of Darkthrone. But even if you know fuck-all about death [...]
You might be hearing a lot about this album this summer, reason being that it is completely amazing. Norway’s Kvelertak take elements from many heavy music genres and put it all together in one ferociously grooving rock album. Top it off with the usual amazing cover art from John Dyer Baizley and we have the [...]
Unearthly Trance have a new one coming out later this year, but until then you can enjoy this split that they recorded with power-violence mongers The Endless Blockade. Needless to say, both bands bring all the ferocity you can handle – might need to take a breather before flipping this one over. You can listen [...]

The b-side features an etching by Mr. vberkvlt himself, Justin Bartlett, whose artwork and lettering also adorns the rest of this [...]
Robotic Empire’s newest vinyl release is the debut album from Sterling, Virginia’s Tideland. I don’t have this record yet, but I’ve listened to the band’s demo, and it’s easy to see what RE liked about them. Mixing drool-worthy genres like grunge, shoegaze, and punk rock, everything I’ve heard has sounded pretty fucking great. It was [...]
If you’re looking for a good slab of straight-up rock and roll, check out this split 12″ by two Minneapolis bands, Fuck Knights and G-Biz. It showed up on my doorstep the other day and sounds wonderful on vinyl. The Fuck Knights side is fast stuff with tinges of punk and garage. The G-Biz side [...]
