Primal Age – A Hell Romance — Customcore, 2008

A Hell Romance is my first exposure to French metal/hardcore hybrid Primal Age. Prior to this release they've knocked out a few other recordings, garnering a name for themselves in Europe and shows with plenty of big names. On this twelve-song full-length they unleash a quite powerful and punishing metalcore mixture in the style of xMaroonx, Turmoil, Hatebreed, and even Slayer. It's hardcore at its core but its got that added flair of aggressive thrash-derivative heavy metal. If these guys toured the states I could see them being pretty damn popular. Overall, a good performance is set forth.

The German quintet’s fourth full-length is an enormous, bleak piece of post-metal, but calling it post-metal only gets you part of the way there. Black metal cuts through its … Read more

Time Spent Driving

Lost Leaves
Thirty Something Records (2026)

There's a particular challenge facing bands that came out of the late '90s and early '00s emo scene. You can recreate the sound people remember and risk becoming your own nostalgia act, or you can abandon it entirely and risk losing whatever made the band matter in the first place. Time Spent Driving choose neither on Lost Leaves. More than … Read more
