Slam has evolved so much in the time I’ve been a fan. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall and eventual amalgamation and borderline acceptance of Deathcore. I’ve seen Slam go from a silly little genre into a worldwide household Metal… Continue Reading →
I’m known to some as the Slam King, probably for some good reason too, I love Slam. That said I can’t say it excites me like it used to, for a new Slam band to really hit me they have… Continue Reading →
Ancient civilisations are totally cool, and of course very Metal. In fact quite a lot of history is pretty Metal. So it makes sense for bands to latch onto it and use it for songwriting. Just look at Nile, stupidly… Continue Reading →
One thing I’ll never get bored of is Slam, even in my lowest Slam moments when I thought the whole genre had gone to shit I would still put on Devourment, Kraanium and all the classics that I love. I… Continue Reading →
