The Rawalpindi based metallers, Downfall Humanity, are out with their new song titled Cloak of Deceit. Check it out! Tight riffage but the vocals kind of put me off. The composition is also more variable in relation to some of Downfall Humanity’s earlier releases. A highly recommended listen. Download ...

Wreckage, keeping to the Rawalpindi Metal Scene’s strictly upheld tradition of making us unworthy alien folks tremble in fear with every single release, has just put out their first song, Vengeance. Vengeance is a combination of killer vocals, some nice Death tinged Thrash riffage and a bad-ass sense of production by Jonathan Jones (of Venom...

I don’t really know a lot about this band. Lord Wernahul of Abyssed introduced me to the band. I haven’t actually given it a proper listen so I can’t form an opinion just yet.

It reminds me Utumno, Crypt of Kerberos and Darkified… all at the same t...

Airliner is a one-man experimental project based in Karachi which is headed by Taha Badar. Everybody should check this out. It is a band approved free download. Download ...

Aus Rine is their 1st release with me as part of the band and their 3rd release in general. There is a bit of everything in there; noise, ambient, kraut rock, post rock, drone etc. Aus Rine has also released a film in conjunction with the release. It is set to 4 songs off the album. The film was done by Talha Khan. Download (the album can be d...

ReVolt, as promised, is out with their first full-length entitled, “ReVolt.”  Now I would like to keep my sense of journalistic integrity intact here and I understand that I am not allowed to take any sides but I can’t deny being really good friends with Taureg Tariq of Cauldron Born so I am going to naturally lean toward Cauldr...
