Rock Sound chatted to Boundaries vocalist Matthew McDougal all about their new record around its release. Here is what he had to say about crafting the sound:

“For this one, I want to be more intentional and plant the flag. Let’s do one that sounds like an Emmure song. Let’s do one where it feels like Saosin the whole time. Let’s claim every part of the genre as our own, and then moving forward, no matter what we put out, you’re going to have a hard time not understanding how it makes sense for us to do that. Because a record ago, two records ago, we did whole songs that sounded like this.“

Finally, here it is. My long overdue heavy metal blog. For the last 15 years I have been writing for Scream magazine, but as it looks now (April 2013), I will put all the energy and creativity I have invested in Scream into Metal Squadron.  While reluctant at first, I have decided to try to do some reviews.  The focus will be on quality before quantity both when it comes to interviews, features and reviews. I simply can’t do things halfhearted.  By the way, the name “Metal Squadron” is inspired by a song by the Japanese speed/heavy metal band Aiming High.

To those of you reading this, who don’t know me, my name is Leif. I earn my money working as a teacher, but I am also a journalist, having spent two years at Høgskolen i Stavanger, now The University Of Stavanger several years ago. I have been writing for Scream magazine since 1998, mostly covering the genres I love; heavy, speed, doom, thrash and power metal, and always with at least one eye on the underground. I like other genres as well, but there are (with a few exeptions) no place for those in this blog.

By the way, if you are wondering about the picture, it’s me, drowned in sweat on the left.  The other guy is Eric Cook from Lethal. Eric sadly passed away on the 23rd of August last year, and I want to dedicate this blog to him.

How much blood would constitute an arterial bombardment? Probably a lot, right? Too much. I don’t want to bombard anyone arterially. It makes me think of a firehose, or maybe a Gwar show. It also makes me think that the blood must somehow be solid, and possibly also explosive? It sounds unpleasant, which means it’s a great topic for a new Undeath song.

(written by Islander) Transcending Obscurity Records doesn’t often release splits, but on November 20th they’re dropping one that’s likely to leave a smoking crater in the midst of the coming winter. Aptly titled Indomitable Hostility, the split joins together new songs from two death metal ravagers whose forward-thinking music you should already know — Replicant […]

Reunited Midwest emo pioneers American Football have influenced a great many bands over the years. They’ve been back together since 2014, though they haven’t always had an easy time with it, and young artists like Hayley Williams and Turnstile’s Brendan Yates have lined up to work with them. While they’re out there promoting their fourth album, American Football recently did an in-studio session for SiriusXMU and covered one of their own great influences, the Cure.
