Indianapolis doom metal abomination COFFINWORM have completed work on their anticipated new album “IV.I.VIII”.

Four years after their “When All Became None” debut, COFFINWORM return with an album that levels its predecessor with a much darker and brutal offering, one with more substance and depth respectively.  Musically, the five piece have taken things that much further with “IV.I.VIII” by incorporating a more twisted element to their songwriting, at times a bit more experimental and even progressive.  Production wise, (once again handled by Sanford Parker) “IV.I.VIII” presents a much stronger and more potent sound picture likewise, Sanford Parker even…

New York based experimental metal band PSALM ZERO have completed work on their debut album, “The Drain”, which follows their self-released “Force My Hand” 7” EP from late last year.

PSALM ZERO is a duo comprised of acclaimed avant-garde rock musician Charlie Looker (Seaven Teares, ex-Extra Life, ex-Zs, Dax Riggs) and acclaimed forward-thinking metal musician Andrew Hock of CASTEVET.  With Looker (vocals/bass/synth/drum programming) and Hock’s (vocals/guitars/drum programming) combined unique musical vision, what they have created with PSALM ZERO’s debut full-length is an intriguing and challenging listen.  “The Drain” is an album which displays Looker’s distinct clean vocals working…

After a number of delays, through bouts of furious obsessiveness to bring the new AVICHI album to manifestation, AVICHI sole-mastermind/proprietor Andrew Markuszewski (aka Aamonael) has finally completed work on the third AIVCHI album, “Catharsis Absolute”.

In what will reveal itself as the ultimate work in the AVICHI repertoire and within Markuszewski’s own body of work, “Catharsis Absolute” pushes the sonic boundaries that Markuszewski laid down through his vision of true black metal with the debut AVICHI album “The Divine Tragedy” and its follow-up “The Devil’s Fractal”.   “Catharsis Absolute” is a glorious yet furious and moving black metal opus…
