I’ve posted a review for The Light Within, the debut album by Surma, a collaboration between Czech vocalist Viktorie Surmová (Bohemian Metal Rhapsody) and Faroese vocalist/guitarist Heri Joensen (Týr). Look for more Surma in an upcoming At Home feature.

Zombitrol is back in the swing of things with upcoming shows from our friends in AMY/DC and The Be Sharps. Plus a brand new interview with acclaimed industrial one-man-band Author & Punisher

Fresh off their tour with Mutoid Man, Athens/Atlanta progressive, mostly-instrumental trio Lazer/Wulf return to Toronto this Thursday, December 6th for a headlining performance at Coalition: T.O! With a wide range of influences like thrash, prog, funk, and sludge, this will definitely be a mind-bending experience for the uninitiated. Their critically-acclaimed album, The Beast of Left and Right, is purported to be palindromic, that is to say it sounds the same played backwards. You can listen to the full album here
 
Main support comes from their fellow instrumental Georgians Double Ferrari (featuring members of Bit Brigade). Toronto’s beloved post-metal legends Kosmograd will play a special closing set after Lazer/Wulf, and breakout grind superstars Battlebear will open.

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Rab Bash. We raised $1,400 for North Toronto Cat Rescue! I’ve also posted interviews with Montreal deathcore legends Despised Icon, bluesman Steve Strongman, and melodic metallers Wovenwar.
