The Black Dahlia Murder: Everblack


THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER: EVERBLACK            
   
   In a time where repetition and lack of originality is rife within the Metal music world, it really is life affirming when a genuinely great album comes along.
   Everblack is full to the bursting point with a expansive array of screams and growls from vocalist Trevor Strnad, and the riffs are as merciless as you would have come to expect. In fact songs such as the peculiarly named, "Phantom Limb Masturbation", display some more relentless Thrash infused riffs.
   There is certainly no short supply of the brutal stuff here on Everblack. The Black Dahlia Murder have been rapidly gathering momentum and popularity over the last few years, resulting in a large amount of expectation awaiting the album. Realistically, within the first few seconds of the barbarous opener, "In Hell Is Where She Waits For Me", any trepidation of how the album will sound and how it stands up to previous releases, is completely relinquished.
   "Control", "Into The Everblack" and "Blood Mine", are just a few of the many brilliantly amazing tracks on this album. At the very least, Everblack is a brilliant album. At the very most, Everblack is the bands best album yet. Whether you're a fan of The Black Dahlia Murder or not, this album should find a place in every Metal-Heads collection.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
