The result of the band’s hard work and dedication led them to inking a deal with Indiana’s Rottweiler Records.… Continued →

There’s really no need for any introduction to these giants. However over the years, Demon Hunter’s sound has slowly transformed from that signature “DH” sound to a cleaner vocal driven sound. With mixed responses, Ryan Clark has continued to showcase his pipes with an impressive vocal range and control. So here we are not even two years after Outlive with two brand new albums from the band. The two are musically separated into two categories. War handles the heavier side of Demon Hunter, while Peace handles the softer side.… Continued →

Are you one to seek out some new bands to listen to? There are so many bands and labels out there, it can be easy to let some get by you, but whatever you do, don’t let Raven Faith Records be one of them.

A few bands worth mentioning here are Peter118, As We Are, CPR, Desiring Dead Flesh, Thre3, and The Bricks.

Many of us have been eagerly awaiting something new from Death Therapy, and today is the day! The new track, “My Defiance” is available now on all digital platforms (click HERE). The track contains many elements common to the previous album, “The Storm Before the Calm”, however this song is notably heavier than anything on that album, in my opinion. The song features crushing, heavy guitars, guttural screams, and some rather melodic choruses. The song also features a guest spot by Josh Kincheloe of Glasslands and he sounds great on this.… Continued →

The label boasts some especially talented groups like Amongst the Giants, Zahna, The Protest, The Persuaded, Seventh Day Slumber, Random Hero, and Silversyde.… Continued →

Amongst the Giants released a beautifully scathing album, “Obscene” last year. If you haven’t heard it yet, you’re really missing out. On my personal “Best of 2018” list, I gave them the #1 spot for a reason. Give it a listen and I think you’ll quickly see why. But I digress. Just a couple weeks ago, the guys released a new music video for the song “Too Late”. The video is really impacting and touches on some pretty real issues a lot of people face. Great message.… Continued →
