The festival's fourth iteration comes this weekend to Beat Kitchen, and the pre-party at Live Wire Lounge set the tone: loudness in all its forms.

The all-gore-no-frills death metal upstarts will release their second full-length (and first on Prosthetic Records) next week-we spoke to guitarist/vocalist Aaren Pantke about the record's creation.

The Illinois death metal band will release their sophomore album "Engrossed in Decay" this July via Prosthetic Records - stream the title track now.

We chat with the two guitarists about Pelican's invigorating new album which is streaming in full now (link inside).

We sat with the Chicago quintet in a suburban basement to dive deep into "I: Voice," their showstopping debut full-length which comes accompanied with an entire hour-plus, self-produced album video.

Welcoming the spring season the post-metal way with the latest album from Illinois-based project Sadness.
