(1 Customer Review)
By glancing at the picture of its band members in the CD case, you'd think that Demiricous would be a boogie/blues band, judging from their appearance and the fact that they're kicking back a few brews at a bar. But once the little laser light hits track one of their debut CD, One, the sweet and soothing sounds of Slayer take your head clean off. The Indianapolis, Indiana natives work with the same musical ingredients as Tom Araya and company -- galloping rhythms, repetitive riffs, fast tempos, and screamed vocals. Produced by a gentleman who should be no stranger to Hatebreed and Shadows Fall fans, Zeuss, One is a must-hear for fans of extreme thrash/death metal. Like other bands of their ilk, it may be all "samey sounding" to new listeners, but for those who are on their third copy of Reign in Blood, One may be the best debut to come along in ages. It's getting harder and harder nowadays to separate the metal purists from the poseurs (the latter a popular buzzword in the '80s metal community), and One will confirm that the gentlemen in Demiricous have metal running through their veins. ~ Greg Prato

One album
$12.15 Goatwhore's second bloodfeast, Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun, finds the group ratcheting songwriting, production, and performances up a notch, making raw rookie effort The Eclipse of Ages Into Black sound chintzy in comparison. Not that Goatwhore is creating fine art here, because it still sounds like old Satyricon, albeit more practical and American-ized -- in other words, less interesting, riffs stripped down, and deathly while lacking the creepy, garagey atmosphere of Goatwhore's Norwegian influences (although song titles like "The Serpent That Enslaves What Is Worshiped" and "Baptized in a Storm of Swords" give the wrongful impression that this Louisiana outfit sports English as a second language). Funeral Dirge, however, has some things going for it: relatively varied arrangements with speeds varying from hyper death prattling to mid-tempo moshes to slow 'n' sludgy doom crawls; the convincingly caustic growl of lead vocalist Louis Benjamin Falgoust (also of Soilent Green, whose jarring tempo shifts and vague Southern swampiness are borrowed here); and the occasional vocal drone and overall credibility of ex-Acid Bath guitarist Sammy Duet. Still, too many off-the-rack riffs and typically scattershot lyrical blasphemies weigh down the overall listening experience with ...
| | Electric Hellfire Club Kiss The Goat CD (1995) Reissue
One CD music
$9.35 With its wicked spoken-word testaments to satan and its tributes to serial killers, Kiss the Goat is perhaps the most evil creation of Electric Hellfire Club. The group's sinister industrial pulse lacks the pure gothic/dance aesthetic of their debut, Burn Baby Burn, and the whole package has a bit more of a conceptual flavor. While the form exhibited on the record's many dark sermons outweighs the funky function of Kiss the Goat, numbers like "Evil Genius (Queen of Sin)" and "Love Is the Law" demonstrate enough sweaty, industrial groove-mongering to ...
| | Darkest Hour Undoing Ruin CD (2005) Bonus DVD
One music CDs
$10.09 Though the members of Darkest Hour had been slugging it out for many years before the release of this 2005 effort, their first to crack the BILLBOARD Top 200 charts, their music changed little over time. UNDOING RUIN is tight, uncompromising '80s-style thrash paired with howling metal-core vocals. Furiously speedy double-bass drumming drives virtually every song, with the requisite half-time mosh parts arriving in the perfect places. Six-stringers Kris Norris and Mike Schleibaum perfectly evoke the ...

| | Intronaut Void CD (2006)
One album
$12.59 Released without warning or hype in January of 2006, Intronaut's debut EP, Null, helped get the year started on the right foot, and instantly nominated the brand new group for the exalted office of Extreme Progressive Metal Ministers, only recently vacated by Atlanta's increasingly mainstream-embracing Mastodon. With their full-length follow-up of barely six months later, the logically named Void, Intronaut arguably consolidated their candidacy with seven new tracks of equal, if not greater compositional merit than what had come before -- although their debt to Mastodon's early works, as well as predecessors like Today Is the Day and Lethargy, remained not only obvious but, some may argue, overpowering. In any event, notable Void offerings like "Gleamer," "Nostalgic Echo," and "Rise to Midden" proved almost as demanding, yet rewarding, to digest, as they no doubt were for Intronaut to conceive and perform: positively head-spinning in their technicality and improbably heavy, to boot. But, as was the case with that promising EP, these challenging songs frequently reveal moments of astonishing calm and even beauty amid their semi-intelligible, grunted vocals and Byzantine arrangements; including the swathes of atmospheric "intro(naut)spection" ...
| | Agalloch Ashes Against The Grain CD (2006)
One CD music
$12.15 Thanks to a pair of brilliantly executed albums in 1999's Pale Folklore and 2002's The Mantle (plus 2001's none too shabby Of Stone, Wind and Pillor EP), Portland, Oregon's Agalloch became, quite possibly, the greatest American black metal band ever, or at the very least, the first American black metal band that really mattered! Such claims should not to be thrown about lightly, its true; but why measure words when faced with the worshipful fervor with which extreme metal fans embraced the enigmatic quartet's inspired creations, featuring corrosive black metal spliced with delicate folk music into arrangements improbably fluid, majestic, and avant-garde? Oh, and the torturously long waits in between their releases didn't hurt matters either, only fueling the notoriously withdrawn band's budding cult legend, while their supporters dug in their heels for what wound up becoming an anxious, four-year vigil leading up to the arrival of Agalloch's third magnum opus, 2006's Ashes Against the Grain. Interestingly, as was the case with each previous effort, this offering displays marked evolution ...

One songs
$16.69 This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
While some of its rap-metal contemporaries deserted the hip-hop half of the equation in favor of concentrating on death metal or neo-grunge, Mudvayne decided to keep the nu-metal torch burning with LOST AND FOUND. A veritable machine of complex rhythmic insanity that would make even Fishbone sit up and take notice, Mudvayne comes roaring out of the gate with a set that is as funky as it is heavy.
Drummer Matt McDonough and bassist Ryan Martinie play as if they are the same person, tossing off impossibly complex lock-step riffs ("Determined," "Just") like most bands hit an open E chord. On "Happy?" and "Fall ...
