Both of these lyric videos are from albums I was highly anticipating this year: Holy Grail‘s Ride The Void and Devourment‘s Conceived In Sewage. I have Ride The Void and I can tell you that it’s fantastic. It’s a really solid record, although some people think differently. I haven’t gotten my hands on Devourment‘s new album, but as I stated in my last post about them, I didn’t like their music until I heard the teaser for their new album. Why? Because it sounded to me that it wasn’t going to be br00tal slam. It sounded like solid death metal! Continue reading »

If you don’t know who Attic is, I can’t say I blame you. I had no idea who this band was until just a few days ago but since learning of them, I have come to enjoy their debut album The Invocation. Attic harness the greatness of King Diamond/Mercyful Fate with a new flare. Their production is spectacular and their execution is top-notch. In today’s metal market, you don’t hear many acts spewing forth these kinds of high pitched singing styles. It’s pretty fantastic.
