Sludge metal monsters Mastodon have just released their brand new animated video, and let us say, it’s one hell of a trip. The newly premiered video for the Atlanta based bands track ‘Dry Bone Valley’ is a mix of live action and animated footage directed by fine artist Tim Biskup, that dazzles and confuses. You could quite honestly call this video a psychedelic rainbow nightmare[...]
Techno-punks Junkie Kut dropped their début single ‘Pixel Picture’ on the 25th November. Under the heavy beat of their high bpm rain, the band blend coarse electronic noise with guitars to create something brutal and strewn together in keeping with a sort of post apocalyptic cyberpunk attitude. Despite a clunky name ‘Pixel Picture’ has sticking power and manages to carve something distinctive out of its rhythmic noise. [...]
Long time Necromag favourites Evil Scarecrow have recently announced a series of UK tour dates. After opening their gigging year with a performance in Grimsby, the harsh Nottingham metallers are getting ready to bring their titanium-exoskeletoned Robotatron wrath to the venues across the country. Touring from April onwards, including a spot on the bill of Prestatyn’s Hammerfest, Evil Scarecrow will be delighting audiences[...]
British metal heavyweights Beholder have announced The Black Flag UK Tour this coming March. This promises to be a hard hitting underground tour in true Beholder fashion with the band showcasing both new material and tracks from their two previous releases in these full length headline shows.

The dark, swampy grooves of former Type O Negative sticksman Sal Abruscato’s A Pale Horse Named Death arrive in January for a handful of English and Irish dates under the banner of the ‘Hell Across Europe’ tour. Unfortunately though, the band are dispensing with current guitarist Bobby Hambel for the duration of the tour. In an official statement Sal explained [...]
The gloriously ridiculous video for Rammstein’s new single ‘Mein Land’, directed by Jonas Akerlund, throws together a beach party, girls doing the twist, a smattering of Bay Watch plus all the fire and silliness we’ve come to expect from the industrial metallers. Available to stream on YouTube, the video is sheer surf rock silliness from start to finish accompanying yet another thrash along slice[...]
Manchester progressive metallers Spires have just released the digital edition of their debut album ‘Spiral Of Ascension’ via Genepool Distribution, which is just on que as the band have also sold out of their initial 1000 stock pressing of their 2010 self released CD. The album is now available to purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Vidzone, Nokia Music and many more online retailers.[...]
2011 appears to be the year of wacky cover art as Rammstein prepare to release new single ‘Mein Land’ with a rather ridiculous surf rock inspired cover. Due for release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on 11th November, Mein Land is the first single from the Rammstein retrospective ‘Made In Germany 1995-2011′.
The single is due to appear in a 4 track CD [...]
