Pallbearer’s Sorrow and Extinction is the best thing I’ve heard so far this year.  Yes, it’s pure doom metal; who knew I’d been missing doom all my life? Doom is a metal sub-genre characterized by extremely slow tempos, down-tuned guitars, and clean vocals (no cookie monsters here); for that reason I hope that more mainstream listeners will [...]

The Hunter should be a moment for metal in the musical mainstream like Metallica (“The Black Album”) was for Lars & Co. Must-hear! Recommended Good Fans only Skip this Owww! My ears!
