Alright, it has been a hot minute since I have done one of these show reviews so I figured I would knock one out for a tour that is currently kicking ass across North America right now. That’s right, we are talking about the Netherheaven tour …
Gaerea has become a force to be reckoned with in the past few years in the black metal scene. Their debut full-length Unsettling Whispers took the underground scene by storm and saw the band immediately make a leap from Transcending Obscurity Record…
Another debut EP release review coming at you today from Gnash, a four-piece sludge band hailing from Columbus, Ohio. This is a new project from my good friend Josh Richter of Bather. He was gracious enough to send me this new project to review and …
Although Abest’s music could be called post-metal, the band incorporate a lot more speed and ferocity into their music that that label might suggest, especially on this album. Abest blend post-metal, hardcore, grindcore and death metal into a …
After a bit of a lull, the Metal Architect is back to sling some reviews in September. Life has been hectic but good for me the past month so it is nice to get back and recommend you guys some killer new tunes. Up today is a new band called Silurian…
"Short but sweet! Great death metal EP influenced by the Swedish death metal scene!" - Whispers From The Void Podcast
A hot button topic in metal is always when bands change their sound. Some don’t mind their favorite bands changing things up while others call them sellouts and fakes. I personally love to see bands evolve and put out music that they are happy…
From the darkest depths of my litterbox, I hail you, my metal peers! Ukrainian innovators White Ward are back with another dark, brooding full-length album, following on from the excellent LP Love Exchange Failure and their 2020 two-track EP Debemur…
"It’s filthy! A great album that is aside bands like Frozen Soul, Sanguisugabogg and 200 Stab Wounds!" - Whispers From The Void Podcast
The album is immediately recognisable as Temple of Void, with their crushing wall of guitars, rumbling bass and Mike Erdody’s cavernous death growls. What’s immediately striking, aside from the vivid album art, is how well produced this …
On a very hot June evening, I went to check out the Terrestrial Takeover Tour featuring Allegaeon, Arkaik, Aenimus and Summoning the Lich at Amplified Live in Dallas. I have been a fan of Allegaeon for a long time since discovering the music video f…
A concept album about the struggles of the Apache and Comanche peoples in the 18th and 19th Centuries, ‘Still as the Night, Cold as the Wind’ is the debut LP from two-piece Vancouver black metal outfit Vital Spirit. Following on from the…
I am always amazed by solo projects in metal. One person writing all the music, penning all the lyrics and recording it all is pure, raw talent in my eyes. Feast for Lampreys is a solo project from the mind of Nymphon that was started in 2017 but th…
"Interesting album from A to Z! It’s the type of album that you put in, listen to it and pay attention." - Whispers from the Void podcast
"Zeit is a roller coaster of emotions! It’s a great summary of the Rammstein sound!" - Phil 2Vitesses of the Whispers from the Void Podcast
I always give credit where it is due and a big shout out to Spear over at Toilet Ov Hell for featuring this one in his This Toilet Tuesday write up. He wrote a nice little blurb about this absolutely stellar release by Germany’s Entgeist that …
It is not every day you that you get two wonderful tour packages combining and joining forces to absolute devastate a crowd but that is what Dallas got on Saturday May 21. Hypocrisy’s Worship tour, which also featured Carach Angren, The Agonis…
After waiting since 2020 and multiple reschedules, the Devastation on the Nation tour was finally on the road and decimating venues across the US and Canada. On Tuesday, May 17, the tour blew into Haltom City, a small city just north of Fort Worth, …
‘‘Groovy riffs, stupid lyrics and sexual jokes are the words that can describe the new Gronibard album, even the band in general!’’ - Phil 2Vitesses of The Whispers From The Void Podcast
Tlazcaltiliztli, the first album from Californinan death-doom band Tzompantli is probably the heaviest album that I’m going to hear all year, and certainly one of the best. Drawing inspiration from indigenous Mesoamerican culture, the band and…
Another day, another hot review for an even hotter band. Today we will be talking about a killer Danish death metal band that goes by Baest. These guys have been cranking out some seriously delicious death metal since 2016 but it was their sinister …
"Phototroph continues what the last two albums did. Moon Tooth are exploring all territories in their music." - Whispers From The Void Podcast
A few days ago, I saw a post in a Facebook group asking if anyone did music reviews. Upon answering, the guitarist Jake for the band Every Enemy Alive hit me up and asked if I would do one for their new EP that had dropped the previous week. After s…
