We may have used the word “epic” a buttload of times when reviewing Loviatar’s last collection of recorded tunes so we’re going to come up with some different descriptors this time, okay? Like awesome. And monolithic. And gargantuan. And bold. And beautiful. But mostly masterpiece when it comes to Lightless and this band overall.

From the man that brought you “The Satanist”, “Christians To The Lions”, “GOD=Dog” and more comes some music to keep fans on their toes as the sophomore album from Nergal’s Dark/Folk/Rockabilly alter ego Me And That Man arrives on March 27th.

Per the press release for Viking, the upcoming new record by Chicago’s The Outfit, the quartet “isn’t re-inventing the wheel, and it never tries to; thats it’s charm”. That said, what they do deliver on Viking still stands out as easily one of the most anthemic Hard Rawk records of 2020.

First off, if you want the best descriptor of the PAAR sound then head over to their Bandcamp page now because after listening through Die Notwendigkeit der Notwendigkeit (Translated as “The Need for The Need” if you’re interested), they hit the nail on the head in that department. As for my two cents on their sound? Listening through the record is like listening through Pornography-era The Cure fronted by Siouxsie Sioux.

Like most of you, when I first heard about what would become Imonolith it sounded like the most kickass collection of Metal’s best exes ever. Ex-members of Devin Townsend Project + ex-members of Strapping Young Lad sounded like a recipe for success as a concept alone. But as fate would have it, the SYL half would eventually depart the project before it fully came to fruition but regardless, a fire was lit! The seeds were sown! And what you will have on March 27th is the constantly evolving new Metal monsters, Imonolith.

In a time where shows are cancelled, movies are pulled from release schedules and live sports entertainment is indefinitely postponed, it’s nice to know that the constant flow of new music being released hasn’t stopped yet. And what better way to take your mind off the horrors of the outside world (Because you’re practicing “social distancing”, right???) than new music from Eliza & The Delusionals!

Eight tracks of pure, uninhibited Julien-K is what fans will get this April when their latest LP, Harmonic Disruptor, drops. It’s a triumphant record through and through, filled with the sounds that have delighted fans since their inception in 2003 taken to the next level and already a contender for one of our most favorite releases of 2020.

There was this band from San Diego called Rust that’s been on my mind due to nostalgia among other things. They were these fuzzed out Grunge rawkers who never went anywhere but the full-length and preceding EP they dropped were simply marvelous.

When I initially sat down to type up the review to Fotocrime’s sophomore record, South of Heaven, I was wearing my most favorite tee which happens to be a Coliseum one and I had plans to loosely compare it to Slayer’s album of the same name and the similar moods within each. But after listening through several times, former Coliseum mouthpiece/guitarist Ryan Patterson deserves to be seen in his own light on an album that defies the mold and finds Patterson’s true voice.
