Christageddon Release "I Am Who I Am"
This last week not only saw a new song from Pantokrator, but also we see a new song from Christageddon. An online project, led by Kristian of The Synics Awakening, has brought together musicians from Abated Mass of Flesh, Demonic Extinction, and now Segør from Blood Covenant.
The project has drifted between a few different styles over the years and from how it appears, Segør brings in a heavy symphonic element to the band. Synths that hearken Dimmu Borgir’s own iconic epic symphonic black metal combined with Segør’s own signature guttural snarls and growls create a beautiful yet darkened symphony of holy terror for all who dare to listen and heed the message.… Continued →

The death metal band Soul Embraced has come out of their hiatus and are making a new album. Today the band announced they were doing shows and put out a post asking where fans would want to see them next.

He has an instrumental called “Anno Domini” that is great. SOH released a song titled “Stratagem” that is primarily power metal styled up until the vocals come in. Pure death metal gutturals. It’s like Lightforce (pre-Mortification) and Mortification put together. The song is incredible. Go check it out here!

Christian metalcore/hardcore One Way formed in… I don’t know when. The 80’s. The band did not have very much success or really any publications. Other than one in HM in 1991. But Raid, their next band, had a little more success. Same genre as One Way, but with a Straight-Edge message, alongside the uplifting Christian message.… Continued →
