You can never go wrong when you say the phrase “I’m listening to California-based metal”. And Madrost live up to the lofty expectations set by the SoCal scene with this piece. If you are wondering what would happen if someone decided to cross Vektor with mid-90s Death, this is what you have: a deep, heavy, […]

The songs on this release are just awesome, I’ve seen interviews with guitarist Brian […]
Every thrasher needs to have these 10 diamonds in the rough in their collection.
(This is the first in a new feature on releases that have influenced Thrash Metal) There’s no debate in my opinion that Venom were “Band Zero” when it comes to extreme Metal. They were unfairly slated by a lot of people when they started out, but with hindsight they’re praised as probably the biggest influence […]
