  12. This avant-garde deathmetal masterpiece deserves another spin. Drummer Kenny Grohowski is one of the best on the scene.

  13. Record(s) o’ the Month – March 2025

    By Steel Druhm

    March was two long months ago (and change), but it seems like only yesterday when you exist in the AMG timestream. That’s because all those goddamn 3.0 trees outside AMG HQ tend to warp space and time, making a prompt running of certaintime-sensitive blog features akin to a holy war against science itself. March may not have been the most exciting release period for metal, but it had a few clear high points to get geeked up about. We kicked tires and weighed souls and came to the well-reasoned conclusions below. Accept them as your own, and nobody needs to see my Banhammer.

    In an age where melodeath can sometimes feel overexposed and tired, there are still acts out there that can make it crackle and hum. Aversed are one such band, taking a progressive melodeath sound and running it through the Berklee School of Music filter. Sophomore opus Erasure of Color is far from black and white in its florid riffage and stellar musicianship led by mastermind Sungwoo Jeong. There are traces of the heroic guitar work of Jeff Loomis and hints of Nevermore and the In Flames / Arch Enemy school, along with bits of core and classic metal idioms. This all coalesces into an intriguing mulch with plenty of twists and turns. As an impressed Dolphin Whisperer summed up, “Alas, it’s easy to love the best of what Aversed has to offer with Erasure of Color, its clanging rhythms and finessed guitar weeping sticking readily to memory with its most careful hooks.” Melodelicious.

    Runner(s) Up:

    Imperial Triumphant // Goldstar [March 21st, 2025 | Century Media Records | Bandcamp] — Call them the “cool kid” act or the darlings of the pretentious elitist set, but Imperial Triumphant won’t go away, and they keep the metalverse bickering and feuding. Their music is dense, chaotic, and rarely user-friendly, but there’s no denying the talent and raw creativity these golden masked weirdos bring to the coven. Crazy grooves, off-kilter rhythms and tempos, and strange choices spew across every gilded inch of Goldstar, but there are undeniably memorable moments too. As a confused but convinced Al Kikuras gasped, “At this stage, it would be a disservice and disrespectful to call Imperial Triumphant ‘jazz-influenced metal’ or black or death or any kind. They have transcended all those genres to forge a new medium, and over the sleek 38 minutes and 15 seconds that comprise Goldstar, they massage the listener to accept it.” Embrace the massage.

    Nephylim // Circuition [March 7th, 2025 | Self-released | Bandcamp] — For the very first time in blog history, an AMG Unsigned Band Rodeö entry makes it to the big leagues! The little band that could, Nephylim shocked the AMG crew with a highly polished and mature dose of gloomy melodeath with echoes of Omnium Gatherum, Edge of Sanity, and Enshine in its DNA. Larger-than-life atmoscapes power the material on Circuition, while a poise you wouldn’t expect from an unsigned act guides the ship steadily. The good stuff here is really good indeed. Opinions on just how good differed among the mostly impressed staff, with Kenstrosity gushing, “Experiencing this, as much as I pine for new material from those great acts that Nephylim remind me of, I know in my soul that Circuition is one of 2025’s foremost contenders.” Unsigned but mighty.

  14. Imperial Triumphant – Goldstar Review

    By Al Kikuras

    When last I returned to the review writing foray I was perhaps a bit over-zealous in awarding a 4.5 to The Haunted’s Exit Wounds.1Almost seven years to the day since my last review shat the bed here at AMG, the question lingers in my now over half-a-century older brain… will I make the same mistakes again now as an equally-excited antiquarian? There is no better band to test this theory than the very of-the-times Imperial Triumphant, the talented and divisive trio out of New York City that split opinions as drastically as if congestion pricing makes a visit to Wo Hop worthwhile. This triumvirate have taken us on quite a journey in their 20-year tenure, as my brethren Grymm and sistren Madam X have previously covered. I find myself poised to attempt to address if their sixth full-length, Goldstar, lives up to the accolades of the title and tagline “Nine Class ‘A’ Songs.” The answer to both of these questions?

    “TBD,” as the kids like to abbreviate everything these days. My kids can’t answer any questions directly, they always want to “LMK.” Why the rush? IDK, but rather than jabber on like a monkey in a tree I’ll try to cut through the treacle. As if to parse things back for those with a short attention span, Goldstar finds our protagonists more palatable than past outings but no less adventurous. The already initiated may bristle at what one might consider more “accessible” material, but that, in and of itself, is what I feel IT has always set out to do – challenge the listeners, even those of the most dedicated who think they know what to expect. Rather than dumb things down, like the cruelest of Cenobites, these maniacs have reinforced their craft with the sharpest of hooks, not pulling the listener in a baker’s dozen directions like Frank Cotton’s flesh, but rather giving us even more meat to chew on.

    Moments like the quirky, waltz-like drum intro to “Gomorrah Nouveaux” that turns on a dime into a foul, menacing, nefarious groove, live rent controlled in my head. No, not rent free… RENT CONTROLLED. These guys being from NYC know that free rent is not a thing there, nor in my brain with what little vacancy I have at my advanced age. The lulling interlude title track comes after one of the most frenetic bursts of their career, the 47 seconds of “NEWYORKCITY” showcasing the frantic shrieks of constant special guest Yoshiko Ohara. Rather than feeling like an abrupt turn in the back of a Yellow cab careening down Avenue A at 50 miles an hour, it serves as an oasis amidst an ocean of mayhem with its big band 1920s-era vocals and tobacco giant jingle. As lulling and gorgeous as that melody is, IT also manages to bring moments like that into their most monstrous. Bass, guitar, vocals, and drums drenched in reverb and echo unified as a glorious and horrifying chorus seamlessly transitions from “Lexington Delirium” into “Hotel Sphinx.” Like watching a tornado devastate a small town, there is beauty in the terror that these mages conjure. While there are nods to their progenitors like Gorguts, Voivod, Mr. Bungle, Zappa, and Zorn, there are no lifts, besides the four-minute meditation on the first real metal riff ever recorded from The Beatles’ 1969 “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” that closes out the album.

    Many modern metal bands push the envelope with new levels of technicality and ferocity. As modernists, IT are writing an entirely new novel where the story isn’t how fast a blast beat, how great a guitar riff, how fluid a bass run or how guttural a vocal is. The confluence of all these things is what’s at the heart of Imperial Triumphant’s distinct sound . As the quotes from Marshall McLuhan declare in the opening track “Eye of Mars,” the medium is the message. Are you going to call Zappa’s The Yellow Shark or Zorn’s Angelus Novus “jazz-influenced classical” because they don’t sound how you expect classical music to? At this stage it would be a disservice and disrespectful to call Imperial Triumphant “jazz-influenced metal” of black or death or any kind. They have transcended all those genres to forge a new medium, and over the sleek 38 minutes and 15 seconds that comprise Goldstar, they massage the listener to accept it. As with any new medium, just as many will find it irritating as will embrace it.2

  16. Home alone ... beim Räumen die MBO-Minis (26cm breit) in Hand genommen und mal angesteckt. Spielen schön.

    Haben aber das offenbar bekannte Brummproblem. Deshalb der "Fremdtuner" als "Isolator". Der Abstand/das Blech hilft schon gegen den Brumm, ist auch so beschrieben. Die Hälfte der Endstufe besteht praktisch nur aus einem großen Flachtrafo.

    Hier wer, der das Brummen wirklich entscheidend mindern konnte?
