THE APPAREL
This months The Metalhead Box featured a bit more wear than just a shirt. We are heading into the summer months and especially here in Ontario, that means HOT, HOT, HOT! Needless to say, it was nice to see a trucker cap right on top of the box. Playing off the Death logo, the hat simply says "METAL". Get it, Death Metal? Anyways, its a nice hat and perfect for keeping this crazy hot sun off your face. To go along with it, this month's box featured a shirt from the Technical Death Metal band Whore of Bethlehem which features some killer art of a demon holding a sword on essentially a throne of skulls. Killer art and killer shirt.
THE ALBUMS
It's not very common I get handed an album and have never heard of the band at this point. Years of writing down the line, you tend to discover a lot of underground bands. That being said, this month I was handed three new CDs from three different bands I had never heard of. From left-to-right we have; Mortuorial Eclipse Urushdaur, which is this Symphonic Black Metal bands brand new 2018 release, something I'm very excited to dive into. Next is Infernal Legion Your Prayers Mean Nothing, this month I went for a bit more of a Death Metal theme, I've been slacking in new Death Metal so this 2005 release is exciting to me. Lastly is another Death Metal release, this time it's Bloodsoaked and their last EP Religious Apocalypse which dropped in 2014. Stoked for a good mix of some new music, all these albums look like they'll be good listens.
THE EXTRAS
To go along with the hat and keeping cool outdoors, the box also came with a Pestilence Koozie featuring the artwork from Consuming Impulse. Gotta keep that beer, or other canned item you are enjoying, at the right temperature, right? The other "extra" is a nice signature as The Metalhead Box is known for. This month's feature is John McEntee, guitarist for the legendary Death Metal band Incantation which is definitely a cool signature for any Metla fans collection.
