By ÆRæder https://fb.me/e/5CCkEeyCh Venue https://clubunderground.net/ – 355 Monroe St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413 Another consistent advocate and host of local metal and heavy music in the Twin Cities. Some of the best ambience for an extreme metal show you can find. The menu upstairs at the Spring Street Tavern is pretty good. Parking options in… Read more

21 Spins: Beastface – BF II (EP)
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Metalcore outfit Beastface has been around since 2010, with a limited amount of recordings that have been released every few years since then. Digging around I saw info on a 2011 debut that I was not able to find online. Return of Beastface (2015) and BF-I (2021) are available on the group’s… Read more

Rage Therapy: Inhuman Scourge – Charnel Winds
Iron Mike
Review by Iron Mike Setup This release is a new EP… but an old EP… maybe? It’s complicated. Depending on where you grab it, it’s either just the new 4-songs or those tracks plus the band’s debut EP (Haunted By Apocalyptic Visions). I tend to listen via Apple, and on there it’s an 8-song LP.… Read more

Quick Take – 06/15/2025 – Sunless (Minneapolis) opening for Creeping Death (Dallas) and Kruelty (Tokyo) @ Turf Club
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue https://first-avenue.com/venue/turf-club/ – 1601 University Ave W, St Paul, MN 55104 Quick Take This event on my calendar. That is, until I heard they brought Sunless on to open in support. I love it when they add a local band as the opener for a national touring act. This is something… Read more

AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue https://www.facebook.com/pilllarforum / https://www.pilllar.com/ – 2300 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418 Another great show at Pilllar (3 Ls). A small venue with fantastic sound. A decent amount of offerings at the bar. Split into two spaces, the showroom and the cafe, it can be a tight squeeze to navigate and there… Read more

21 Spins: Pestifere – There Was Never Light
AEraeder
By ÆRæder After purchasing and listening to this album over 21 times, here is my take: Sound/Mix I got the idea that this album is mastered to sound reminiscent of old school black metal, but mixed to differentiate, balance, and layer in the instruments and tracks in a way that you can still hear everything.… Read more

Rage Therapy: UXIA – UXIA – LP
Iron Mike
Review by Iron Mike Setup In a region fairly well dominated by death metal, black metal and a rising tide of doom metal, UXIA mixes flavors from those more extreme subgenres into their own recipe of progressive metal. This immediately helps them stand out from the local crowd. Their Bandcamp page states, “For fans of… Read more

Show Recap – 05/03/2025 – Reaping Asmodeia / With Dead Hands Rising / Den of Thieves / Caustic Abyss @ Zhora Darling
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue Zhora Darling – 509 1st Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413 Another excellent experience at Zhora. Having the full bar in the restaurant side with the partial in the show room is always nice. They were running a “beer & bump” special with a fairly wide range of shot options for only… Read more
