These familiar, comforting bands have become our travelling companions during our exploration of metal. Through consistently enjoyable releases, these bands have created an expectation of quality in everything they do, leading to a palpable sense of anticipation anytime new music from any of them is announced. Perhaps they are familiar to you as well, and so you share in our anticipation for listening to their music; if not, we hope that our excitement leads you to find something new to enjoy.
These are the bands we discover opening for bands we know, or online in the deepest, darkest corners of the internet. We may love them, we may loathe them, but life is short and dull without risk, and every favorite band was unknown once upon a time. So we listen to these bands, and share them with you, in the shared hope of broadening musical horizons.
