MONOTHEIST- Scourge
When in my recent Glass Hammer interview, I asked Steve Babb what he thought about the advent of prog rock in death metal, Orlando, Florida's Monotheist was just the type of band I had in mind. Monotheist has been kicking out technical death metal since 2004, but for their full length debut on Prosthetic Records, they churn out a near flawless slab of long playing prog metal that needs to be heard loudly from beginning to end, preferably on colored vinyl for all the varied nu


THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Sign to Solid State Records, Release Fall Tour Details
The Devil Wears Prada are pleased to announce their new label home. The band has signed with Solid State Records for its next album. Details about TDWP's Solid State label debut are TBA. The band did share the good news in an exclusive interview with Revolver. The band is also excited to announce the second leg of its very special anniversary tour this fall. The band is extending its trek celebrating the upcoming tenth anniversary of their landmark third studio album, With Ro


SHADOWPUNCHER- Shadowpuncher
Shadowpuncher is a one man death metal project from Norway led by Max Kevin Olstoren. Fairly prolific, in 2 short years Shadowpuncher has managed to put out 4 EPs of material, this self-titled being the first for Nosral Recordings. The band calls itself death metal, and yes, there are death metal vocals and occasionally even blast beats, but there is a serious thrash influence, and overall the best comparisons might be to bands like Living Sacrifice, older Sepultura, or Sacra


SYMPHONY OF HEAVEN - The Season of Death
Symphony of Heaven is a one man symphonic death metal band, aka Logan Thompson of Indiana, which formed, did some songs on compilations, signed with Nosral Recordings, and released this full length all within the year 2017. This album is fully fleshed out and displays a wide variety of excellent and intelligent music. Symphony of Heaven stays primarily in progressive melodic death metal territory, utilizing symphonic synthesizer elements to create a movie soundtrack palette.


FLESHKILLER - Awaken
Fleshkiller is a new side project of Extol frontman Ole Borud, since Extol went back into hibernation after their excellent self titled album in 2013. Ole started the band with his old band-mate Peter Dalbakk. Dalbakk was in Vardoger, and both were in Schalich together. Ole Vistnes (Shining, Tristania, Extol) plays bass, and Andreas Skorpe Sjoen (Umpfel) plays the skins. Dalbakk left and Borud struck up a conversation with Elisha Mullins (The Burial singer, former A Hill to D

Circle of Dust - METAMORPHOSIS
Everything We Do Matters Metamorphosis may have been the most experimental (and most misunderstood) Circle of Dust release. Without a doubt, this stuff is enigmatic. Part COD and part Living Sacrifice (label mates at the time of the original release), Metamorphosis not only featured a wide array of sounds and styles (electronic death metal?) but most importantly it represented our first exposure to Klayton’s penchant for the “remix.” Part metal, and probably a whole lot more


Introducing the Heaven's Metal Festival
If you’re reading this, chances are that you and I share a common and deep bond; the fact that we love and most likely have had our lives touched in a profound way by Christ-focused rock, hard rock and heavy metal. And, at one point and time over the last 25 years or so, that we were all connected to these artists and music through the vehicle known as Heaven’s Metal Magazine. I don’t know about you but I couldn’t wait, over the years, to get the next issue of Heaven’s Metal!
