"I found myself preoccupied by death." Meet Ante-Inferno, the British band bringing black metal to the seaside

2 months ago | loudersound.com | Perran Helyes

Scarborough, one of Britain’s original seaside resorts, does not fit the mental image of a hub for black metal in the UK. Far from the Fens of East Anglia that birthed, well, Fen, or the Peak District where Winterfylleth snap their album covers, Scarborough has nonetheless played host to an influx of kvlt visitors in recent years.

"My first concert was The Black Crowes, but my second was ZZ Top. That would've been the cooler answer!" Brat's Liz Selfish: 10 Records That Changed My Life

Jan 16, 2025 | loudersound.com | Perran Helyes

You should never, as the saying goes, judge a book by its cover. New Orleans sludge newcomers Brat might be pretty in pink in their press pics, but the second you hear the wail of feedback and a bark of feral viciousness, you know you're in the same familiar mires that spawned the likes of Eyehategod and Crowbar. We caught up with vocalist Liz Selfish to find out what records make her tick - these are her picks. 1.

Blood Incantation Arrive At The New Frontier Of 'Absolute Elsewhere'

Nov 17, 2024 | knotfest.com | Perran Helyes

Blood Incantation's continued ambition and belief in extreme metal as an artform still capable of tearing up musical boundaries has made them one of the primary protagonists of the last decade's underground death metal boom.
"I'm talking about people doing some despicable stuff...I’m also talking about my first ex-wife." Nile leader Karl Sanders on the fun of the 80s, being a black belt badass and how to stay authentic while writing death metal about ancient Egypt

Nov 10, 2024 | loudersound.com | Perran Helyes

Karl Sanders is the resident mummy master of metal. The driving force and sole constant member of America’s most Egyptology-obsessed death metal band Nile, few musicians in the underground have forged a brand quite like Karl, without the corporate connotations of that word because well, this is death metal.

Nails Rise to Again Stamp Their Mark on Extreme with 'Every Bridge Bur

Aug 20, 2024 | knotfest.com | Perran Helyes

In the 2010s, Nails ruled the roost in extreme. From their debut album Unsilent Death in 2010 to their two-track I Don’t Want to Know You single in 2019, the name of Nails became a by-word for extreme, punishing music, five letters that conveyed you were going to get your head stomped on and left in the dust. With a body of work barely over an hour long but incendiary for every second it’s hard to think of bands whose legend became entrenched so quickly and firmly in that last decade.
