The Forbidden Gates Beyond
BLACK SEPTEMBER's "The Forbidden Gates Beyond" is a USBM album that you need to hear; that is, if you like your black metal brawny, hooky, and death injected. You can call it blackened death metal, deathly black metal, or black/death metal, all that matters is that the collision happened and out cam...July 27, 2011

Generation Wild
It is totally derivative of a potpourri of '80s glam rock and hair metal bands, including the glammed up look of the band members themselves; the album clearly one for fans of that definitively love-hate era. And it would seem that's exactly what Sweden's CRASHDIET intended with new album "Generatio...July 27, 2011

While those four year...June 21, 2011

The WARRANT of "I Saw Red", "Cherry Pie", and "Heaven" this is not, thankfully. Oh sure, the threads of "Rockaholic" run all the way back to the 80s hair/pop metal material, some of which was quite respectable (e.g. "Uncle Tom's Cabin"). The band released some solid material since those golden years...June 21, 2011

I Owe You Nothing
Well, you can pretend that the "I Owe You Nothing" EP from hardcore super group S.O.S. is somehow more complex or groundbreaking than what most others would term no-bullshit, precisely composed U.S. hardcore that will appeal to pretty much anyone that already digs bands like TERROR or MADBALL. Or yo...June 20, 2011

One can appreciate the effort and the sense of adventure that some bands have taken in pushing black metal boundaries or at least testing the limits.
