Listening Lately: Tantivy, Caravan of Doom, and Many More
My old buddy Curtis Dewar asked how I would keep up with all the blog stuff once the school year resumed; I told him I had no idea! But somehow, it all continues… In the car, I’ve mostly been listening to Misfits’ American Psycho, Valkyrie’s Shadows, and a burned disc with some Brimstone Coven, Witch… Continue reading Listening Lately: Tantivy, Caravan of Doom, and Many More

This quality can be traced back and found in the output of artists such as Neil Young and Steve Earle, in country music, in old time American… Continue reading Album Review: Wino’s Forever Gone (Ripple, June 26th)
Album Review: Stygian Crown (s/t, Cruz Del Sur)
Scanning the press release for Stygian Crown’s upcoming, self-titled release, a phrase jumped off my screen: “Candlethrower.” For the uninitiated, it might seem like an ill-placed promo for the newest Olympic sport. For the extreme metal fan it immediately brings two bands into play: Candlemass and Bolt Thrower. Both outfits constitute giants in their respective… Continue reading Album Review: Stygian Crown (s/t, Cruz Del Sur)

Nothing to do these days except drink beer and listen to music in my house, so here goes… First on deck, we’ve got Sorcerer’s upcoming album Lamenting of the Innocent. Due out via Metal Blade on May 29th, the classic Swedish outfit tells a tale of medieval witch hunts from a variety of perspectives —… Continue reading Listening Lately: Monday Afternoon Quarantine with Sorcerer, Black Rainbows, and Volcanova
