Hi, what are you looking for?
Damn, I have to say this is one of the easiest albums I’ve ever had to define. It’s just as easy as stating that...
My top 3 favorite regions for heavy music are Quebec, Japan and France. French bands as of late have had a standard of releasing...
I had the CARNAL FORGE album “Firedemon” at one point in time, and it was a decent, if very generic slab of modern thrash....
Hey! These guys named themselves after a Meshuggah album, so they must be on of those Meshuggah influenced bands! Oh, sorry, that was “ChaoSPHERE”....
Some words and sentences just get lost in translation. Did Toxic Bonkers perhaps want their name to represent the effects of going insane from...
When I was out grabbing information for Zatokrev, I had read a few places described them as a doom/death version of Neurosis. The double...
What a fitting band name. Not because Droid is one of those super-technical bands that play like they’re inhuman, but the double bass drums...
Every once in a while, an album comes along that re-awakens you to a genre; it presents a new outlook on the way...
Perhaps Minus the Herd refers to the hordes of bands mining chaotic metalcore now. Bands everywhere are mixing death metal, grindcore, math metal, and...
Every once in a while, an album comes along that gives you goose bumps. 'Ashes of the Wake,' 'Spiritual Black Dimensions,"Annihilation of the Wicked'-...
I know this review is about a year over due, but I felt that it was about time someone gave this band a little...
So there's been bellyaching about the production on the new Watain album. Yes, it's cleaner than on previous full-lengths Rabid Death's Curse and Casus...
Job for a Cowboy is not at all the name one would expect for one of the most innovative and powerful up and coming...
Except for perhaps Brazil's Violator, California's Merciless Death is the cream of today's "retro thrash" crop. It's hardly infernal overkill to say that Evil...
Deadlock is a combination of what are probably now the most nauseating ingredients in metal – nth generation melodic Swedish death metal, screamed verses, and...
N.I.L. ("Nihilism is Liberation") is N. Imperial – whose long resume includes Krieg, Nachtmystium, Twilight, Weltmacht, and Devotee – and J. Marcheski, who moonlights with...
"Obscurus Advocam" and "Verbia Daemonicus" are evidently improper Latin for "Invocation of Darkness" and "Speech of the Devil." Latin is the official language of...
What Gojira was last year, Hacride is this year – a French metallic missile that should detonate devastatingly across the Atlantic. Put away those...
In some ways, this album (and this review) is a triumph against the odds. First, Equal Vision sent this CD in a plain, unpromising...
When you review the band responsible for your employer's theme song, your hands are a little tied. The opening riffs of "Praise the Lord...
Recording an album with a band is hard enough; recording one by yourself is exponentially harder. Thus, it's noteworthy when a one-man project like...
Allow me to state my taxonomic understanding of the no-woman's land between metal and hardcore. When a hardcore band exhibits metallic tendencies, they're, natch,...
For some reason, the YouTube test of guitar proficiency these days is how well one can play Necrophagist songs. Well, The Faceless would wipe...
