Terrorizer
Terrorizer (Los Angeles, California) Do you like Morbid Angel? How about Napalm Death? Well you’re in luck! If you like those bands, then you already have this band’s albums. Terrorizer came just before Morbid Angel, bringing you that balance of hardcore and death metal to give you what we call grindcore. They weren’t the first to […]

Incantation
Incantation (Johnstown, Pennsylvania) Sludging through the stomach of Satan, comes Incantation to help regurgitate what is strikingly morbid and at times, scary ass music. They could be hell’s soundtrack; unhinged, disorienting music with evil riffs coursing through it’s heavy-as-hell veins. They tend to give you […]

Entombed
Entombed (Stockholm, Sweden) Raw and undeniably heavy with tastefully darkened riffs ravaging the sound-scape. Mature songwriting abound to create very memorable tunes. The starting of ‘buzz-saw’ sounding guitars are very much tied to Entombed. Although some bands like Repulsion did that before them, Entombed’s writing […]

Immortal (Bergen, Norway) Summoned from the cold forests of Norway came a musical life-force that will live on forever in the blackened hearts of generations to come. They are, and will remain Immortal. With riffs so infectious, Immortal should be a disease. It […]

Death Angel
Death Angel (San Francisco, California) Thrash metal Juggernauts Death Angel can still pack a lunch. I mean punch. I’m not talkin’ punch bowl either, although they may spike it. They were a band budding right along with the Big 4 and other prominent thrashers at the time […]

Pig Destroyer
Pig Destroyer (Richmond, Virginia) They’re not big on destroying pigs in the literal sense, although I’m sure they may eat bacon or the occasional ham sandwich, the name is actually derived from the term cop killer. Which I’m sure they don’t do that either, but rather a political punch to […]

Origin
Origin (Topeka, Kansas) Searing riffs leap toward you attacking the stratospheric barrier and destroying the ozone layer, dooming us with catastrophic consequences. Origin’s riffs are dangerous, but just too bad-ass to be left behind bars. So instead of conviction, they are released into the atmosphere, further convincing you that this is one […]
