There’s a new band in town, folks. It’s Arizona-based death metal outfit Apparitions, and the group features two former members of Knights of the Abyss. Bassist Griffin Kolinski and guitarist Brian McNulty, formerly of Knights of the Abyss, are those two aforementioned members.

Whitechapel Parts Ways With Drummer Kevin Lane

Posted by Chris Harris on January 4, 2011 in Departures, News

That’s the word this morning. Whitechapel, of course, have yet to officially confirm this new development, but mark my words: They’ll be issuing a statement later today or tomorrow, confirming Kevin Lane’s no longer their drummer. I just hope said statement will contain details about the unexpected lineup shift. I wonder what happened between Lane Read More

I would have put them in the headline, but then the headline would’ve been a paragraph long. Full Blown Chaos — the mighty New York metal outfit that recently signed with Ironclad Recordings and will release new music in early 2011 — will be hitting the road with Knights Of The Abyss and The Autumn Read More

Arizona metallers Knights of the Abyss have a new album coming out August 17 called The Culling of Wolves and its fucking heavy, dude. As a really heavy thing. It would maybe remind you of the Burn The Priest record. At times. Or early Black Dahlia Murder. Either ways, they’ve got this new track called Read More

Posted by Chris Harris on July 14, 2010 in News, Tour Dates

“Cult underground” death metallers Devourment have joined the Relapse Records kith, according to a post on the band’s MySpace page. These dudes are pretty fucking severe.

Knights Of The Abyss: LP Coming August 17

Posted by Chris Harris on July 13, 2010 in Chicks, New Records, News, Pervoscope, Rad

Ferret Music will soon release the latest album from Arizona’s Knights of the Abyss, a fury-fueled metal group I have been listening to since May.

Cattle Decapitation Announces Fall Tour Dates

Posted by Chris Harris on July 12, 2010 in News, Rad, Tour Dates

Deathgrinders Cattle Decapitation are an awesome band who’ve been plagued by lineup shifts. They’ve had about 30 drummers in the last two years, meaning the band spends all of its time looking for new drummers. That kind of energy detracts from the task at hand: kicking ass. So its nice to see the band seems Read More
