Then We Died interview

Hi! Can you give a brief history of Then We Died, including the music style and the members (the band’s lineup is incredibly strong, including musicians from some of my favorite bands!)? I ran into Stevo (Impetigo, Surgikill, Tombstones) at an Effigy reunion show some years back. While waiting in line we were talking about doing a project that would blend Assück with Samael "Worship Him", the line started moving as the show started and not much else was said about it. Years later I wrote a few songs that reminded me of Repulsion mixed with Asphyx and Impaled Nazarene and I immediately messaged Stevo. I've worked with Jim Higgins since the mid 90s, first with Assisting Sorrow then Coronach and currently The Promise Of Plague. I write music all across the spectrum, everything from industrial (Empyrean Asunder, Absence of Faith), electro-alternative (Alice in the Aftermath, Märcoda), to metal (The Promise of Plague, Assisting Sorrow, Fatal Step). Whenever I have a metal proj

ANDREA PALMIERI interview

Hi Andrea! How have you been? Pretty good thanks. I can’t complain. 2024 was a very satisfying year in the music field. Can you tell us more about Reflections? Reflections is born from the desire to preserve what was well done with Solitude. It's a natural evolution of the previous album. Did any particular event inspire you to write this album? Where did you find the inspiration for the songs and lyrics? There was not really a particular event that inspired me to write the album. After a year of Solitude with Alessandro we met again and decided to write new music. We had a lot of riffs and music compositions that we hadn’t used in Solitude and that seemed to be really good for a new album. We added new compositions and within a year Reflections was ready. This time we wanted to go further musically, reducing the clear references to bands I love, like Black Sabbath and BLS, which are very present in Solitude. We can say that Reflections is a very free album compared to Solitude. Yo

Review of EYE OF THE GOLEM - Nigredo / Octopus Rising

Nigredo, the latest release from Eye of the Golem, pulls listeners into a dark soundscape of post-metal that’s as intense as it is immersive. With an almost alchemical blend of industrial elements, crushing riffs, and moments of mournful melody, the album traces a path into some truly dark terrain. Influences are easy to pick up on here - think Neurosis’s brooding atmospheres, Amenra’s ritualistic weight, and the mechanical edge of Godflesh - but the band combines these sounds in a way that feels distinctly theirs and remarkably cohesive. What stands out most is how the album balances power and atmosphere. It’s undeniably heavy, but Eye of the Golem doesn’t just pummel you - they bring real precision to that intensity, underscored by an almost meditative pacing. The rhythm section hits with industrial strength, keeping the flow relentless, while the guitars switch from deep, dirge-like riffs to high, haunting melodies that bring a chill to the otherwise dense mix. Together, these eleme
