Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Messa – The Spin Review: We all slow down in our old age. Our own Steel Druhm is no exception. As he closes in on his third millennium, he finds himself overwhelmed more and more often.1 And so verily it came to pass that, to help out our tiring patriarch, Dolph and I agreed to double team his beloved Italian psych-doom weirdos, Messa.2 To be fair, this is no hardship. All three of Messa’s albums to… dlvr.it/TK3Yh8 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 AMG’s Unsigned Band Rodeö: Nephylim – Circuition: “AMG’s Unsigned Band Rodeö” is a time-honored tradition to showcase the most underground of the underground—the unsigned and unpromoted. This collective review treatment continues to exist to unite our writers in boot or bolster of the bands who remind us that, for better or worse, the metal underground exists as an important part of the global metal… dlvr.it/TK3DLc LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Cytotoxin – Biographyte Review: It’s been five long years since Nuklearth graced my ears for the first time, followed in quick succession by at least another 800 spins. I snubbed it too, in my year-end list for 2020, where I relegated it to my (ish) spot. Banger after banger after banger led me straight to the bludgeoning wing of my local urgent care. Simultaneously, it led me to 2017’s Gammageddon,… dlvr.it/TK2GJR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Blood Abscission – II Review: We tend to underestimate how great a role knowledge of the artist plays when experiencing their art. Even if unfamiliar with their work, the awareness of them as a person (or group of people) whose intentions are either plain or discoverable through interviews, notes, or academic consensus informs our opinions insidiously but inevitably. In an age when self-promotion is… dlvr.it/TK20fQ LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Diabolizer – Murderous Revelations Review: ‘O mighty sub-genre, how you vex me. As our human need to bring order to chaos and make sense of complexity increases, so does the proliferation of the sub-genre and its many sub-sub offshoots. Where once only death metal stood, today, a plethora of choices exist. And because that most un-descriptively generalized tag wasn’t enough, we now banter over the… dlvr.it/TK18P7 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Unbounded Terror – Something Is Rotten in Humanity Review: Unlike other major European countries, Spain has never been much of a hotbed for death metal, presumably because they’ve been too busy perfecting their paella (holy shit is that stuff good). That hasn’t stopped Spanish death metal bands from trying to make their mark, however, and possibly the first to make such an attempt was Unbounded… dlvr.it/TK0mLL LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Labyrinthine Heirs – Labyrinthine Heirs Review: Eclectic Texan quartet Labyrinthine Heirs is ready to float their self-titled debut album, partnered with I, Voidhanger Records, which has one of the most diverse rosters in the metalverse. All four musicians come from different musical walks of life, and given the label partner, I expected that the music on Labyrinthine Heirs would be off-kilter at a… dlvr.it/TK020v LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Deafheaven – Lonely People with Power Review: You never forget your first love. The sense of wonder and excitement, a world you had only heard and read about, opening up to you like a flower on a Summer’s day. Deafheaven was my first (in a metal sense). The combination of furious black meal, searing post metal, and fuzzy shoegaze, mixed with a dollop of genuine longing, totally rewired my brain.… dlvr.it/TJzB8S LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Manntra – Titans Review: It’s appalling to me that nearly six years have passed since I last reviewed Manntra. The passage of time is a horrifying thing, but there it is, in print: Manntra – Oyka! Review By Twelve on July 29, 2019. On the other hand, the passage of time is what inspires a good chunk of folk metal in the first place, and Oyka! was a fun folk metal album. Between then and now, Manntra… dlvr.it/TJyWPQ LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens Review: Allegaeon’s six albums have received tumultuous marks in these halls. After their fantastic 2010 debut Fragments of Form and Function broke the score counter, Allegaeon sank as low as a 2.0 for 2016’s Proponent for Sentience in the eyes of then-tadpole GardensTale. While their latest outing recovered to a more respectable score, Allegaeon’s techy brand of… dlvr.it/TJyHjz LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Buried Realm – The Dormant Darkness Review: Colorado’s Buried Realm, the technical melodic death metal project of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Josh Dummer, has built a steady following since 2017’s The Ichor Carcinoma. This is largely because— alongside his role as the primary writer and producer of Buried Realm’s music— Dummer is one hell of a guitarist. Additionally, he enlists a prominent… dlvr.it/TJy261 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Warfield – With the Old Breed Review: German thrashers Warfield created a bit of buzz for themselves with their 2018 debut Wrecking Command, borrowing extensively from famous forefathers like Sodom and Kreator and infusing the speed with traces of black metal fury. It was a spirited and venomous slab of reckless haste with enough modern-day appeal to escape the sucking vortex of niche re-thrash.… dlvr.it/TJxKzb LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 In the Woods… – Otra Review: Oh, yay, I get to review In the Woods…!! How I haven’t reviewed them before is beyond me. I must have been in the bathroom or something. I’ve been jamming to these guys forever, which led me to another favorite band: Green Carnation. As stated before by Z and Ferox, these Norwegians are an odd bunch that can’t quite figure out what they want to be, like gender confusion… dlvr.it/TJx6MJ LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Mizmor & Hell – Alluvion Review: A.L.N. (a.k.a. Mizmor) and M.S.W. (Hell) inhabit similar territories: geographically, the Pacific Northwest; sonically, abrasive, droning, blackened doom; and, perhaps critically, emotionally, all claustrophobic, tortured heft. Although they’ve collaborated live before, Alluvion, which refers to the sedimentary deposits left by a body of flowing water, is their first… dlvr.it/TJwmq3 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Nydvind – Telluria Review: There are many heavy metal bands in the world. Intense genre stratification led to lots of musical hopefuls attempting to carve their own path. Despite their best efforts, it’s incredibly rare for a band to do something that hasn’t been done before. Citing a journey through the “raw energy of black metal,” “profound melancholy of doom,” and “organic vitality of folk,”… dlvr.it/TJw7DD LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Tómarúm – Beyond Obsidian Euphoria: Over the past three years, I’ve come to appreciate Tómarúm’s surprising, mature debut Ash in Realms of Stone Icons at a deeper level than I had hoped to reach in the mere two weeks provided at the time. While I stand by my overall score—and by my critiques—my relationship with that record grew more meaningful and rewarding with time. Tómarúm’s spiritually charged,… dlvr.it/TJvvRK LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Crawling Chaos – Wyrd Review: Even before I’d seen the gorgeous cover art over there, Crawling Chaos had me marked. The Italian group’s third full-length release, Wyrd, is written around a theme that discusses prominent women in European folklore, mythologies, and history, and is “full of literary quotes and easter eggs, offering subtle nods to the most curious among the listeners.” Honestly, I was… dlvr.it/TJvYKR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Arch Enemy Serve Legal Notice to AMG Refusing Payment for Review of Latest Album: Long-running Swedish melodeath institution, Arch Enemy recently served AMG Industries with a legal notice alerting them that the band would not be paying for the review of their latest album, Blood Dynasty, citing dissatisfaction with the mocking tone and the absence of a fanboying score.

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Following Favorable Coverage in Rolling Stone, AMG Staff Claims They’re Too Big to Work at a Crappy Metal Blog: After an unexpected shoutout to Angry Metal Guy in Rolling Stone Magazine last week, the entire AMG staff walked off the job Monday to seek greener pastures in mainstream music journalism.
