Our This Week in Metal post collects our thoughts on music released in or around this week in the music world. We cover mostly metal, but we consider other genres to allow our writers poseur flexibility. Follow us on Instagram too!
Anti-Peat's Perplexing Position
One of the seemingly endless joys of being a metal fan is stumbling across a band that's old as the hills but somehow new to you. Kawir is a good example.

Scuttlegoat's Curmudgeonly Critiques
Time marches ever forward and can not be escaped even if you are a time travelling satanic robot or a gigabrained astral space being.

Welcome to the Goat Review where I, the site's owner and namesake, repeatedly write reviews that sound negative only to begrudgingly hand out a positive score. Beaten To Death shall join in this trend.

Don't beat yourself up if you too love it.
