At Catacomb Chords, we will review all extreme metal (death/black/doom/thrash/etc) - we believe that the underground scene is a rich vein of talent and innovation, often overshadowed by the mainstream.

About Us

Our mission is to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of the metal underground, bringing their art to the surface and bleed into the ears of those who crave the raw power and intricate complexity of true metal music. Here, you will find the most thorough, honest, and passionate album reviews, penned by our team of knowledgeable and ardent metalheads. So if you're ready to leave the surface behind and embark on an auditory expedition like no other, you've come to the right place.

Our small team spans across the United States, the UK, and beyond. Each member brings their unique background and personal taste to the table, infusing our reviews with a wide range of perspectives. This international reach not only enriches our understanding of underground metal but also connects us to its global audience. The team is composed of both full-time and part-time members, reflecting the dedication and passion that drives our mission. Each member will dive into the heart of each underground release, exploring its every facet, and sharing their findings with our readers.

Our small team is made up of musicians, journalists, and avid fans of metal music. Our goal at Catacomb Chords is to provide reviews in the most thorough and engaging way possible. Whether we're discovering a promising new band or revisiting seasoned veterans, our commitment remains the same: to shed light on the dark and richly disgusting world of underground metal.
