"What can one reasonably say that hasn't already been proclaimed in the halls of AMG over and over again about throwback thrash bands? In a genre that continues to pump out music for over forty years, breaking the mold is like chiseling out of your prison cell with a spoon. Doable? Maybe. But true escape is improbable. Germany's Ravager peddles in the same stylistic trappings that you have seen a million times before from bands like Havok, Lich King, Warbringer, Gamma Bomb, and so, so many ot...| Angry Metal Guy
"Nine Treasures has been around since 2010, and yet has always seemed like the new kid on the block. Hailing from Inner Mongolia, China, founder Ashkan Avagchuud pursued the integration of traditional Mongolian instrumentation with heavy metal since day one. Nine Treasures saw success with their first three independent releases, but also saw The Hu steal a bit of their black thunder by becoming a global hit with their take on Mongolian folk metal." Culture war. The post Nine Treasures – S...| Angry Metal Guy
"This review almost didn't happen. As the recently demoted were scraping the last bit of slime off the bottom of the skull pit to prepare for the new haul of Fall promo, we inadvertently found Sanguisugabogg's third full-length, Hideous Aftermath, submerged in the sludgy remains of two ex-n00bs. Mistakes were made for which we do do not apologize. These Ohio-based purveyors of grimy, gore-inspired brutal death may have a name worthy of the national Spelling Bee and a logo that looks like bloo...| Angry Metal Guy
A Rodeö just for the chilly members of the AMG Freezer Crew? Maybe when it snows in Hell! The post AMG’s Unsigned Band Rodeö: Acrid Rot – Where Flesh Transcends… Man Stands Tall appeared first on Angry Metal Guy.| Angry Metal Guy
"Italy's progressive sludge toilers Void of Sleep unleashed an impressive debut courtesy of 2012's gripping Tales Between Reality and Madness, dropped a less impressive sophomore album in 2015's New World Order, before returning to form on the darker progressive explorations of 2020's Metaphora. Perhaps not helped by a sluggishly sporadic pattern of recorded material, Void of Sleep's bright talents remain hidden in obscurity, ensuring a low profile. Which is a damn shame, as their albums offe...| Angry Metal Guy
"I know what you're thinking: how is it that ClarkKent is reviewing Wings of Steel instead of Steel Druhm? Believe it or not, he let me review it. After all, he's not the only steel-named writer in these halls. For those not steeped in DC universe lore, my nickname is Man of Steel—though Steel, in his fatherly way, prefers to call me dumbass, like Red Forman in That '70s Show. But I see symbolism in his gesture of letting me review this, like he's taken me under his wings—of steel." Steel...| Angry Metal Guy
"Steelbound,, Battle Beast's seventh full-length album, struts forth boasting bubblegum choruses and sticky refrains that, upon contact, are sure to plague your showers and commutes for days afterward. For the uninitiated, the sextet from Helsinki, Finland, plays pop-infused power metal with anthemic, uplifting gusto and broad appeal. Battle Beast simmers with talent, but it's singer Noora Louhimo that steals the show with her powerhouse range and grit, the perfect voice to broadcast the pos...| Angry Metal Guy
"Few bands influence outshine their immediate popularity as much as Internal Bleeding. The founding fathers of slam, the lynch pins of New Yawk style thuggin and brawling, have been a pivotal DNA strain of death metal since debut Voracious Contempt spat in the face of human decency back in 1995. But the years have been as gritty to the band as their music, with infamous production issues, perpetual lineup shuffles, and tragic deaths littering their storied careers. The band have remained unb...| Angry Metal Guy
"New Jersey's Evoken is one the big names in the very niche genre of funeral doom. Since 1994 they've been churning out lengthy, unhurried odes to despair and tragedy, taking heavy inspiration from the Peaceville Three era while forging a path of their own. Albums like Quietus and Antithesis of Light are regarded as funeral doom triumphs, and you can depend on Evoken to deliver carefully crafted epics full of emotionally harrowing moods. It's been a long time since 2018s Hypnagogia dropped,...| Angry Metal Guy
