I’m not a big fan of death metal, but I love Cannibal Corpse. I think they are called “extreme death metal,” or something. There are so many subgenres in metal that I have a hard time keeping up. At any rate, I have had a difficult time finding another death metal band that I like…until […]

DISSIDENT CLONE: Civilized: CD
Ten new tracks of blindingly fast crust-grind from this Minnesota duo.

The recording quality has some jagged edges but gives it the kind of charm you can’t buy with […]

With zombie like monsters beheading (or smashing the head of) a figure that has a likeness to our dear old president all in front of a […]
