Album Review: Grid - The World Before Us Reviewed by Chris Taylor Sludge infused Post Metal is a combination I didn’t know I needed before I checked out Grid, with their new release The World Before Us. Celebrating ten years as a unit, Grid’s music has been evolving throughout their career. Beginning as an instrumental post metal unit, they have been adding more elements to each of their releases until we come to The World Before Us. An epic sci-fi theme is present to accompany the wider scope in music, as well as a larger focus on vocals both clean and monstrously guttural. Despite the many ..read more

Album Review: Void Witch - Horripilating Presence Reviewed by Matthew Williams Void Witch are one of those bands that I’ve had on my radar for a while now, since I first saw a few things about them on social media. Coming from the big ol’ state of Texas, I knew that they’d be fixing to deliver something big, bold and brash, intent on making a statement on the death metal scene. Their critically acclaimed demo in 2021, introduced the band perfectly, and has finally led to their debut album being released. And I’ll tell you this for free, it’s a bit of a gem. It has a little bit of something f ..read more

Album Review: DD Verni - Dreadful Company Reviewed by Lana Teramae D.D. Verni is best known for his work with American thrash metal band Overkill, but for his second solo album, ‘Dreadful Company’ (2024), he dives into his punk rock roots, even more so than on his first solo album, ‘Barricade’ (2018). Simplistically speaking, the material on ‘Dreadful Company’ resembles more Green Day than Overkill. In some ways, Verni sounds like Billie Joe Armstrong. Besides being Verni’s solo album, the only other connection to Overkill is that the band’s current drummer, Jason Bittner, plays on it. Like ..read more

The band, named after the numerical designation for the most powerful windstorms, brings together a group of musicians who wanted to play music they loved with people they enjoyed hanging out wit ..read more
