Fused

When a big-name star of a legendary band decides to do a solo project, the result often is a collection of tunes thrown together that sound like…well…rock-star boredom turned into a side project. This is not to say that Tony Iommi is one of those folks or that his output on the first two albums ...

The Essential Iron Maiden

Another greatest hits review, another chance for us all to squabble endlessly over inclusions and deletions, the need for yet another collection (I seem to recall reviewing "Edward the Great" less than two years ago),or where in the metal hierarchy IRON MAIDEN sits in relation to PRIEST, SABBATH, a...

This Godless Endeavor

"This Godless Endeavor" may just be the most complete and musically accomplished NEVERMORE album to date. Quite a pronouncement, I know, especially when considered in light of a classic like "Dead Heart in a Dead World". However, as with any NEVERMORE album, repeat listens to the 57 minutes of "This...

Review

Pariah

One can debate the merits of NAGLFAR's "Pariah" in comparison to its 2003 release "Sheol", not a wasted exercise given the qualities of the latter. A couple of listens to "Pariah" though and my preference for it over its predecessor is unequivocal. It's really not a question of one being sub-par and...

Review

The Rising Tide of Oblivion

A couple of years ago, "The Rising Tide of Oblivion" would have sounded a lot better to me. The metalcore competition was less intense back then. Germany's NEAERA are in many ways the quintessential metalcore band, in this case a thrashy up-tempo album with sporadic breakdowns, screechy lead vocals...

Fuck You and Then Some/Feel the Fire

Not so much a song as an excuse for a chorus (one that owes more than a little to oddball L.A. punks FEAR),“Fuck You" was pretty ballsy for the PMRC-infected 1980's. It made the rounds of parties and dubbed tapes, along with other over-the-top, too-hot-for-Friday Night Videos fare likeS.O.D.'s "Spe...

Grime vs. Grandeur

The folk-inflected power metal mastery of FALCONER on "The Sceptre of Deception" was one of the more satisfying discoveries of 2003 for me. As someone who doesn't often enjoy the more epic end of power metal, Stefan Weinerhall (main man and guitarist) and FALCONER impressed me with a blend of folk s...
