Von Hertzen Brothers – Nine Lives – Review
When I was first told of this little known Finnish band, they were already preparing themselves for big things. “Pink Floyd,” or “Zeppelin” kinda big. By their second album they were raking in the awards in their native land of Finland and by the time their third had rolled out they were a household name. [...]

Fatality … The Axis Of Metal Interview: Part Two – Indiegogo
First off, if you’re wondering why I did a second interview in such quick succession with this phenomenal band, ask yourself this question: “is the underground important?” If you don’t think so … get off this site, because we here at Axis Of Metal are warriors of the underground. Our ethos is one of support [...]

Ass Of Spades – Sleep When You Die – Review
Truth be told, some of the best memories I have as a child are listening to tunes with my dad. At the young age of eleven years old, my Dad would take me fishing a lot on the weekends and on the fifteen minute drive down to the pier he’d crank all the tunes that [...]

Kalmah – Seventh Swamphony – Review
Melodic death metal is just one of those genres for me. I don’t listen to a lot of it. Not out of any strong dislike for it, but because I get what I want from it from so relatively few albums out of the incredibly overcrowded field of players. Give me a handful of early [...]

Sodom – The Epitome Of Torture – Review
Posted May 14, 2013 by Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
Well, this album and band make me sad. It’s not because I don’t like Sodom, or anything like that, but it makes me sad in the sense that I long for the Sodom of old. The Sodom that destroys everything. You know the Agent Orange or Tapping The Vein Sodom. That Sodom. With that said, [...]

Wormed- Exodromos- Review
Posted May 13, 2013 by ThePitGoddess
Technical/brutal death metal can be really hit or miss for me. It has to be juuuust what I’m looking for, otherwise I won’t be into it. Originally I discovered Wormed at Maryland Deathfest 2011, soon after I had been jumped and gotten loaded. Needless to say, I kicked some ass in the Wormed pit and [...]

Appice Drum Wars – 5/9/13 – Hamilton, Ontario, Canada – Live Review
Posted May 13, 2013 by Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
****Disclaimer: I wasn’t able to secure a photographer for this show, thus there are no pictures. The club was pretty busy, and I couldn’t even get half way decent photos with phone – so deal with it! Usually for show reviews on Axis of Metal there are professional photos as seen HERE and HERE. Many [...]

Orchid – The Mouths Of Madness – Review
Posted May 8, 2013 by Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
Boys and girls, we’re in the midst of another revival. The early 2000’s saw a thrash metal revival, and now, for the past few years, we’re in the thick of a retro-rock/stoner/doom resurgence. A vast number of bands have surfaced that play rock’n’roll in the ancient vein of the 1970’s and it seems like metal [...]
