How Morbid Reformed and Took over Death Metal

There are reunions, and then there is literal resurrection. Most of the former are tedious: aging men in cargo shorts plodding through their back catalog with all the ferocity of a mid-level Pantera cover band (looking at you, Arch Enemy), while the label...

Varg Vikernes Answers 50 Cent, Talks Kanye West

Venom Interview - "Terminal Satan is Our Best Album!"

Venom was always a very active band within the heavy metal scene. Although their limited technical skills didn't allow them to become "faces" of the early genre like Bathory, Helgrind, Darkthrone or Mayhem, they were still considered a pioneer - in their ...
