A Site Retrospective
Read about some of the lessons I learned undertaking this project.
“Curse of Conception” by Spirit Adrift
Ascending to a new dimension, Spirit Adrift takes up the mantle of doom from their forebears and presses on into the void with indomitable patience. Tense and release!
“The Knight of Rebellion” by Dream Tröll
In 2017, even traditional heavy metal, complete with dual harmonized guitars accompanying the tales of legendary blacksmiths and magical spellbooks, is still as fun as ever. Dream Tröll evokes their heroes with earnest homage.
“Wraith” by Wraith
In their self-titled, lightning quick debut, Wraith shows what they can do with a minimal approach to crossover thrash, and leaves us wanting more. The mouths of madness are fast and furious!
“Womb of God” by Dead Neanderthals
In this experimental, two-track album, drums and saxophone prove that musical economy can be as shocking as anything played through a distortion pedal. The new wave of Dutch heavy jazz is cresting!
“From Fields of Fire” by Argus
In exquisite production, Argus evokes the greats of traditional heavy metal with their own version and vision of the musical architecture, which involves just a touch of doom.
