Brutus … The Axis Of Metal Interview!

Chaostar – Anonima – Review
It’s not all too often here at Axis that we receive something outside of the metal spectrum, though that’s hardly surprising given the unlikelihood of a metal label stretching out of their comfort zone. It’s why when the Chaostar promo dropped – their first release in nine years, unless you count their reworking of old [...]

Black Faith – Jubilate Diabolo – Review
Of all the genres in metal, Black Metal is that one genre which has adapted itself to coexist with various other genres. Over the years, this genre has spawned a lot of fusion genres like Symphonic Black Metal, Atmospheric Black Metal, Black Thrash, Progressive Black Metal, Post-Black etc. But before all these fusions, there was that Black Metal which was in it’s [...]

Fjoergyn – Monument Ende – Review
A review for an artist is naturally to be coloured somewhat by the reviewers expectations for the album going in. Most commonly this is where we expect the album to be either good or bad, and the resultant surprise at what we discover leading to overly focus on minute flaws in an otherwise excellent album, [...]

Brutus … The Axis Of Metal Interview!
God love Brutus. Brutus is a band I discovered way back in 2010 after their magnificent S/T release. This album saw a lot of play time on my stereo and caused all my neighbours much grief because, well, it had to be played at eleven. With that said, I was elated when I found out [...]

Posted June 8, 2013 by Thomas Bawden
Recently MegaDave went on record as stating that whilst he thinks all his music is awesome, “Crush ‘Em” is perhaps the worst song they’ve written [1], and at the time of writing I’d have probably agreed with him. Hell, that whole decade was pretty lousy, but admitting that a failed attempt at a cash-in tune [...]

Chthonic – Bú-Tik – Review
Posted June 6, 2013 by Thomas Bawden
I may have been in the minority of those who were mildly disappointed by Chthonic’s last effort, sacrificing certain folk elements in exchange for a greater blackened intensity to their sound, but from the moment I first watched their debut video I knew I had better start to prepare myself for one of the biggest [...]

Orchid … The Axis Of Metal Interview
Posted June 6, 2013 by Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple years, then you’d know that Orchid are promising up and comers in the booming doom / stoner scene. These American dealers of stoney riffage have been making quite the name for themselves. I’m personally a big fan of the band, and after their [...]

Fuck It All and No Regrets: A Look Back at St. Anger
Posted June 5, 2013 by Alex Gallant
Metallica is One of Those Bands. Hell, in the metal world, they’re That Band. They’ve attained a level of success that nobody else in the metal world has. They’ve endured pretty much everything a band can go through, whether generated internally or externally, and survived. They’ve gone through the tragic death of a band member, [...]
