Vinyl Review: "Fallen Cathedrals" by Ashen Horde

Fallen Cathedrals

Well, let's start at the beginning.

In the windswept wastelands of Hollywood, California, exists a band so brutal, so avant garde, so nouveaux, that they have no idea what they are.

Their story began in December of 2016, or somewhere thereabouts when their debut album, Nine Plagues, was released.

Really, it probably started before that, but our friends here from the most brutal state dropped a double LP to start off their career.

Ashen Horde went straight Chicago on our collective asses.

Not only did they drop the a deuce to begin it, but it was a double VINYL LP.

So, good on you my boys.

Ashen Horde are one of those bands that's hard to pigeonhole into a heavy metal subgrenre due to just how out they are.

Let's get some Italian Death Thrash shall we?

On January 19th, Malamorte, Alex Nunziati's side project, will be releasing Hell For All via Rocksthots records.

Before the disc drops, you can get your preorder on HERE and get a nice taste of the record below.

Oaklville, Ontario is the home of a horror theme power metal band, Malacoda.

They're on the cusp of releasing a full length album based on the video game Silent Hill 2.

Personally, I'm not going to point out right now that I much prefer Zombie Revenge and Deep Fear or that Sega has always made the best games...

But maybe they'll make a Deep Fear concept record next? Naturally, that's ridiculous wishful thinking because most people never played that game or heard it existed, but seriously, mutant zombie things on an underwater sea lab?

Who's not in for that?

Anyway, Rockshots Records will be releasing Restless Dreams and you can check it out HERE.

1. Listening to Black Sabbath's eponymous debut the night I got it blew me away. What's the album that sounds the best on vinyl compared to digital sources?
