If age is wisdom, than Pig Destroyer are the owls of the grindcore kingdom. These Virginians have been blasting their way through violent noise for more than two decades, and while they’ve written and produced stand-out albums over their tenure (2001’s Prowler in the Yard is a prime example), their output over the last decade is unrivaled in calculated beat-downs.
Toothgrinder have long toiled in the U.S. prog metal circles, so we were thrilled to see a tour with the band – one of our favorites – stepping out with Bullet for My Valentine and Trivium. Check out photographer Lina Glasir’s photos of their supporting set from Irving Plaza in New York, New York, on May 17 below!
Oh hell yes! Big Tings, the new album from Skindred, is straight up fiyah! Imagine Living Colour with some badass reggae riffs and vocals and you’ll get my drift. I can’t remember the last time I listened to a promo album so many times and have absolutely enjoyed every single track that is included. These guys have been around for
Cradle of Filth stopped in to Irving Plaza in New York City on April 7 as part of their tour behind Cryptoriana. The band performed with support from Jinjer (below) and Uncured. Photographer Lina Glasir was on hand to capture the action for SkullsNBones.
Bullet For My Valentine are making big things happen. The Welsh metallers are preparing to release Gravity, their first album for Search and Destroy/Spinefarm Records, and they have added drummer Jason Bowld to the fold as a permanent member, replacing Michael Thomas. They are also hitting the United States this month for a tour with Trivium and Toothgrinder. The band are stoking
Legend of the Seagullmen should be alternately titled Legend of the Supermen, because they tear it up! Right off the bat you are hit by a flowing epic guitar experience with a catchy chorus that never leaves your brain, burying itself like the earworm I believe it was written to be. “The Fogger” is the creepy song that will haunt
The Mongolian metal of Tengger Calvary is something to behold, and nowhere is the magic of this hybrid more spectacular than on Cian Bi. Cian Bi marks the beautiful collision of traditional Mongolian instruments, throat singing, metal, and electronics that create a time warp tearing listeners into the future while anchoring them to the past with traditional themes that tie
Canadian metal masters Anvil return with their seventeenth album, Pounding the Pavement, and it certainly is pounding. These metal gods have been kicking ass since 1978 and are well respected by the likes of Metallica and the late Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead. My personal love and admiration for Anvil started in the very late ’80s. They are a magnificent, hardworking, and
Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien rejoice, for the patron saints of Middle Earth metal, Summoning, have released With Doom We Come, an eight-track, 65-minute opus that continues the band’s literary, black metal soundscapes. Those familiar with Summoning’s past efforts will immediately recognize the multi-layered keyboards and atmospheric style that have been present since day one. Once again, reverberating, synthesized drums and vocals lend a dream-like, ethereal
Toothgrinder’s latest release, Phantom Amour, is a lesson in change and musical intricacies. It is unique, but certainly not raucous nor abrasive to the ears. They have veered away slightly but not unpleasantly since 2016’s Nocturnal Masquerade. Combining elements of progressive and power metal and classic metalcore, it is also spiced with some blues and a pinch of jazz. The
