Two idiots and a puppet drummer named dickpancakes. This is the most awesomely stupid metal band in the universe. Formed in 1998 by brothers Pete and Dan Manzella, (Piz ‘n’ Spam Manwhat). Maggot Twat returns to make you piss yourself.

Never We See was conceptualized and composed by Scare Crow, recorded track by track at SINISTERSTUDIOS in Buffalo Grove, IL. The music was brought to life in order to create something that would keep metal roots alive, and people banging their heads for years to come.

Chicago modern metal powerhouse TRIALS is set to make a triumphant return on May 1st with the release of their sophomore album, “In the Shadow of Swords.”

Coming off the heels of their 2011 debut, “Witness to the Downfall”, “In the Shadow of Swords” sees the band take their blend of melodic death and muscular, technical thrash to the next level. Don’t mistake those words for the typical promotional hyperbole either. TRIALS has truly upped the ante where aggression, songwriting and sheer metallic power are concerned.
