We are usually skeptical about the influence of sponsors in underground metal and hardcore but we suspend our criticism when Game Of Thrones is involved. HBO is serving Killswitch Engage-flavored Kool Aid and we are shamelessly drinking every last drop. The extended version of “Loyalty” has the audio from this unforgettable scene (spoiler alert) in season 4. In all honesty, the song itself is much heavier than we expected. The yarling chorus is there, we expect that from commercially successful hard rock bands, otherwise “Loyalty” hangs with some of the hardest songs on this playlist. Theories returns to Howl’s top… Read more »

An Attack On Titan Movie Teaser Was Released and I’m Dead If you’re an anime lover like me, this probably has you in a giant tizzy—I am so excited about this movie. (Granted I haven’t finished the series yet because I never have time to breathe anymore, but I’m working on it.) Attack On Titan itself has become a cult-classic turned mainstream anime phenomenon that I’ve been working on for two years. But it’s the most heart-wrenching, tear-inducing, make a grown man cry openly without embarrassment anime you will ever see–it’s so worth taking a peek at the live… Read more »

We had great expectations for Psycroptic when “Echoes to Come” was released as a single November 2014. Then again, Psycroptic‘s self titled is their second full length since 2008 (sixth overall). Fans are accustomed to waiting for the Tasmanian death prog quartet, and they were awarded again in 2015.
