Deep Cuts: Metal’s Hidden Gems is back. This week we dive headfirst into the underground, where chaos, doom, and raw fury thrive.

Pupil Slicer’s jagged beginnings
Stoned Jesus’s doom-drenched debut
Powerwolf’s hidden liturgy
AxCx’s raw grind relic
Dying Fetus spitting bile at conformity
Demonic Resurrection carving India’s extreme roots
Skepticism’s funeral doom hymns
Black Tusk’s swamp-thick sludge
Morta Skuld’s overlooked death grit
Virus bending riffs into fever dreams

These are the tracks buried in shadows, the riffs most missed, the gems only the diehards dig for.

Happy Sunday. Heres a light, fun read for all you metalheads out there.

🎸✨ At midnight in the Mississippi Delta, a man laid his soul on the line… and changed music forever.

Robert Johnson’s deal with the Devil didn’t just shape the blues, it lit the fire that became heavy metal. From Sabbath and beyond, his 29 songs still echo like spells in the dark.

Opeth – Ghost Reveries (20th Anniversary)
Released August 29, 2005.
Today marks 20 years since Opeth released Ghost Reveries. This record is an absolute landmark: prog-death elegance, eerie atmospheres, and some of Mikael Åkerfeldt’s most haunting clean passages balanced against thunderous growls.

Ghost Reveries remains one of Opeth’s most celebrated works—a seamless blend of progressive rock, death metal, and gothic atmosphere. With monumental tracks like Ghost of Perdition and The Grand Conjuration, this album still resonates two decades later.

🕯️ What’s your favorite track from this masterpiece?

🎸 When Metal Goes Mainstream: Why It Would Be the Worst Thing for Music
Written By Derek Gann

Metal doesn’t belong in soda commercials, malls, or algorithm friendly playlists. It thrives in rebellion and complexity - exactly why the mainstream could never contain it.

Atlanta chaos bringers Malevich unleash Under A Gilded Sun. A blistering fusion of blackened hardcore, sludge, and metallic noise.

🖤 Brent Hinds (1974–2025) 🖤

We are deeply saddened to learn that Brent Hinds, founding guitarist of Mastodon, has died at the age of 51 in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta.

As one of Mastodon’s original members, Brent’s riffs and voice shaped landmark albums including Remission, Leviathan, Crack the Skye, Emperor of Sand, and Hushed and Grim. His style was fearless, inventive, and unforgettable, a sound that influenced an entire generation of heavy music fans.

Earlier this year, Brent parted ways with Mastodon, but his two decades with the band left an indelible mark on metal history. Beyond Mastodon, his creativity flowed into projects like Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, Fiend Without a Face, and West End Motel.

Our hearts are with his family, friends, and bandmates during this devastating time. Brent Hinds may be gone far too soon, but his music will ride on forever.
