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: Red Vinter – Lumbering Menace
AEraeder
Review by Æræder After listening to these over 21 times, here are my takeaways: Sound/Mix Check out the review of their EP, Into the Deep (03/13/2025); many of my notes from that album apply here. In their short time of existence as a band, Red Vinter has been digging deep into the songwriting and recording… Read more

Review by ÆRæder Background I saw a social media post about a July 19 gig in the James Cullen room at Ya Sure Kombucha in Brainerd. This is a venue I have heard about and been wanting to check out. Seeing Bong Reaper and Cryptic Derision on the bill piqued my interest. I did some… Read more

Show Recap – 04/17/2025 – Phase Meridian / Onlytime / Thunder Goat / As Bullets Baptize @ Underground Music Cafe
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue Because I am a dumbass, I found out day of show that this is not at the other Underground. So, while still at work I had to jam in a bunch of searches to figure out where this was. Fairly familiar territory around the North Loop area, but a new venue… Read more

Rage Therapy – Thundergoat – Labyrinthian Scales – EP
Iron Mike
Review by Iron Mike Setup In an era where a lot of bands are try-harding their way to sound like everyone else, this Wisconsin based 3-piece blur the lines between a multitude of subgenres and create a sound all their own. They dropped their debut single, Black Hole Coven, in early 2023, heralding the release… Read more

Rage Therapy – Enigmatus I demo
Iron Mike
Review by Iron Mike Setup Matt Schrampfer, bassist of local death metal killers, Begravement, started posting about the launch of this band last year.

21 Spins: Red Vinter – EP – Into the Deep – by Æræder
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder After listening to these over 21 times since release, here are my takeaways: Sound/Mix This recording is high quality. Small, cheap smart screen speakers, headphones, mid level portables, stock vehicle speakers, higher end sound bars; the essence of each tunes’ energy comes across on all just fine. The stereo type elements stood… Read more

Rage Therapy – Sabot: Castration ep
Iron Mike
Review by Iron Mike Setup Pretty sure I discovered Sabot through Rob Hammer’s Doom-centric Facebook page a few years ago. With no idea they were local, I dredged through their songs on the daily for weeks before digging deeper. Upon realizing they hail(ed) from St. Paul, I had to go see them. Unfortunately, a few… Read more
