Live Kult: HALFORD – Live at Madison Square Garden [New York, NY, 12-4-2010]
When news broke out that legendary Judas Priest singer Rob Halford would be opening for Ozzy Osbourne on the North American leg of the Prince of Darkness’ Scream world tour, expectations were high—and rightfully so. Both legends have new albums out—Halford IV: Made of Metal and the aforementioned Scream—and on this brisk December night in [...]
Live Kult: WATAIN – Live at Markthalle [Hamburg, Germany, 10-28-10]
Photo by Henry Yuan It was a cold October night in Hamburg, Germany…the perfect vibe for a live Watain ritual. With the incense burning, the onstage altar lit with a row of candles and blood all over the floor, the feeling of total death lingered in the air. Once the band came out, they ripped [...]
Live Kult: DEATH ANGEL – Live at the Gramercy Theatre [NYC, 7-16-10]
Photo by Georg C. Parr I have to be honest: tonight was my first time seeing Death Angel. The highly underrated and often-overlooked Bay Area thrashers have been very active since their reformation in 2001 and have passed through the New York metro area a decent amount of times in support of their 2004 comeback [...]
Live Kult: OBLITERATION – Live at Fontana's [NYC, 6-3-10]
Photo by Henrik Øiestad Myrvold Just when I thought things couldn’t get any more brutal after Maryland Deathfest, New York City got treated to back-to-back death metal shows the following week, when Swedish death metal pioneers Entombed and the young Norwegian deathsters Obliteration rolled into town. While Entombed definitely brought the carnage on June 2 [...]
Kult Review: MUNICIPAL WASTE – Live at Golden Gods Screening Party [NYC, 5-22-10]
What happens when Revolver magazine announces a free show featuring Municipal Waste, Boston’s Ramming Speed and local metal punks Atakke with free beer? The answer should be pretty obvious. Chaos! The insanity jumped off last weekend, when Revolver held a free screening of their Golden Gods Awards concert (which was recorded on April 8 at [...]
LIVE KULT: MASTODON at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple – Part 4
On January 24 and 25, 2008, Mastodon converged on Brooklyn’s Masonic Temple to play two nights in support of experimental doom legends, Neurosis. Because this was the first time Neurosis played New York in over four years—and we’re always down for a good Masto adventure—we had to tag along. In our four-part documentary, we not [...]
Live Kult: HIGH ON FIRE "Blessed Black Wings," "Nemesis" and "Turk"
On February 10, 2008, when Oakland’s High On Fire came thundering into New York to play Brooklyn’s Club Europa in support of their latest album, Death Is This Communion, MetalKult braved the cold weather and packed crowds to document this event. When all was said and done, and we finally looked at the footage we [...]

When Norwegian black metallers Immortal—guitarist Abbath, drummer Horgh, and Aura Noir’s Apollyon on bass—hit New York on their 7 Dates of Blashyrkh tour, on July 13, 2007, MetalKult had the opportunity to film their killer set. Below, take a look at Abbath and [...]
Live Kult: BEHEMOTH at Irving Plaza, NYC, 2007
When Polish extreme metallers Behemoth rolled into NYC to play Irving Plaza on April 29, 2007, in support of The Apostasy—way back when MetalKult was a newly hatched website with a one-camera filming team—we took the opportunity to document the four-piece’s powerful set. In the four videos below, check out Behemoth as they burn through [...]

On Friday, June 1, 2007, Emperor played an amazing set at B.B. Kings in Times Square—one of only three shows the Norwegian metal group would play in the States. MetalKult was there and captured the black metal legends in all their glory. Below is a live video from that show of “Into the Infinity of [...]
