Ye Goat-Herd Gods Calgary, Alberta
Ye Goat-Herd Gods, Calgary’s masters of dark metal music, find inspiration for their songs in history, Mesopotamian mythology, and Romantic era poetry. The music blends melodic heavy metal with a vocal style reminiscent of the lid being slid off a stone coffin by the undead resting within. ... more

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow
by The Chasm
supported by 5 fans who also own “Shade of Astaroth”
This is my favorite album by Mexican death metal stalwarts The Chasm, by a wide margin. All the meandering, proggy excursions of previous releases have been brutally curtailed in favor of mountains on mountains of riffs, and the result is a release that is tighter and more focused than any of their output in the last decade+. Consider my interest renewed. Patiently awaiting the next one.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
