Crimson Thorn is one of the heaviest and brutal Christian death metal bands to hit the scene in the mid 90s. Sporting the deepest vocals ever heard in Christian death metal, (and maybe death metal in general if we are being honest) Crimson Thorn made a name for themselves as being able to stand musically toe to toe with industry titans such as Carcass and Cannibal Corpse. On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan and Joe look into those bold claims and give you their thoughts on this often o...

Black metal and industrial music may not go together.

Stabbing Westward kicks off Industrial December this year as we dive into this new wave inspired industrial rock phenomenon that took place in the mid to late 90s. This style of music ran right alongside nu-metal as the go to style of music for disenfranchised young people. Was Stabbing Westward so popular because they were original? Or was industrial rock always destined to leave a lasting impression? Find out on this episode of Discography Discussion. Enjoy! #discussmetal #StabbingWestward Joi...

Creativity is a word often used to describe any art form. How many artists in the world truly embody creative freedom? We ask this when trying to describe a band like Kekal. A band that a lot of listeners would describe as an “avant garde” or “progressive” metal band is actually far more than that. What does it mean to have true creative freedom, and how much can it be applied before sacrificing digestibility?

Is it ok to call Christian bands black metal? We attempt to tackle those questions and more on this cold and sorrow filled episode. Enjoy. #discussmetal #Antestor Join our Patreon: Discography...
