As longtime collaborators, Uppsala’s In Solitude spent much of their youth writing music they wanted to hear. When they began to release records and tour, however, journalists were eager to pick apart their influences and label them under any category that felt familiar.
In Solitude defies easy categorization. Upon first listen, the band may evoke the sounds of their Scandinavian predecessors. As you dive deeper, unexpected sounds might emerge like the baritones of Nick Cave or the haunting blues of the Mississippi Delta.
A conscious effort was made to separate themselves from any “typical” metal production, songwriting, and visual aesthetic on their third full-length album. Listeners will no doubt hear a blending of references, but there also exists a sound unique to the experiences and surroundings of the five musicians behind it.
Join us this week as we discuss In Solitude’s final offering, Sister: a monument to a band discovering their voice and creating something authentically themselves.

After a series of lineup changes, production flubs, and exhausting legal battles, Cradle of Filth emerged under a new label, poised to make a statement in the new millennium.
Fueled by the ambition of their enigmatic and versatile frontman, Dani Filth, the band’s 4th album feels like a band finally achieving their twisted sound and vision.
Nothing captures the Halloween spirit quite like the works of Clive Barker blended into an orchestral, maddening, and often depraved metal opus.
This week on Riff Worship we are joined by David Stepanavicius (Atræ Bilis, Fulci Rots) for a discussion on Cradle of Filth’s Midian

Following a prolific 2023, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean wasted little time getting to work on their sophomore LP. Starting with a clean slate, the band continues to evolve their sound on their most menacing and visceral release to date.
No filler. No tricks. Sisyphean Cruelty is as direct and honest as a band can get.
This week we are joined by members of Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean to discuss the album as well as an EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE of the track "Unfit for Human Life" ahead of its release date!

With a lineage stretching several decades, Converge have solidified their reputation as one of hardcore’s most influential and hardest-working bands. This wasn’t accomplished overnight, but we may be able to pinpoint when things began to click.
Originally released as a 5-song EP, Petitioning the Empty Skycurrently stands as a collection of material from various recording sessions. Written by the combined forces of vocalist Jacob Bannon and guitarist Kurt Ballou, these tracks feature a familiar dissonance and intensity.
This is far from the Converge we know today, but from the first moments of its 7-minute opener, it’s clear that Petitioning the Empty Skyis a sign of great things to come.

After unleashing their genre defining Doom EP, Arizona deathcore upstarts Job For A Cowboy inked a deal with legendary label Metal Blade Records.
Rather than simply replicate the formula that launched them, the band shed their early influences and took a bold step forward, crafting an intense brutal and conceptual piece of brutality for their debut full-length.
While this shift left some longtime fans perplexed, it also began a legacy defined by progressive, technical, and politically charged albums that carried the band into the early 2010s. Join us in celebrating Job For A Cowboy’s debut, Genesis.

With deep roots in Belgium’s H8000 scene, Ghent’s Oathbreaker similarly redefined the boundaries of hardcore by incorporating other extreme and unconventional influences.
Following their Deathwish debut as well as collaborations within the Church of Ra collective, 2013 marked the release of their sophomore album and perhaps their most realized work by this point.
Packed with anguished vocals, striking imagery, and an unprecedented guitar presence, Eros|Anteros is a perfect example of a band connected on every level to achieve a cohesive vision.

After a tumultuous start, several members of Washington's hardcore punk scene joined forces following the dissolution of their previous bands. Despite their hardcore roots, however, the band frequently experimented with diverse sounds and textures.
This is especially prevalent on their sophomore album. In true DIY fashion, they also handled its production and packaging.
This week on Riff Worship, join us as we discuss These Arms Are Snakes and their post-hardcore monolith, Easter!

Prior to arena tours and Grammy Awards, the band Ghost was merely an idea. Drawing influences from his adolescence, Tobias Forge developed an aesthetic, canon, and sound before setting foot on a stage.
Join us this week on Riff Worship as we dive into Ghost's melodic and satanic debut album, Opus Eponymous
