Tend No Wounds
If you've ever been to Savannah, you know the place can be hotter than one of Satan's farts. Thus it stands to reason why the metal coming out of there is sludgy, swampy and full of angst. A day care full of undisciplined brats makes less racket than BLACK TUSK along with their neighbors KYLESA ...July 13, 2013

Chernobyl Survivor

Deceiver of the Gods
What's not to like about AMON AMARTH? They've been faithful metal warriors for going on two decades now, and they look like The Lord of the Rings' Riders of friggin' Rohan, for Christ's sake!

Black Out the Sun
SEVENDUST is one of those rare bands that generally gets a pass from the metal community no matter how much they've veered towards AOR. Part of it is because the band's riffs are historically tighter than a double stitch and thicker than a lug nut. Part of it's because Lajon Witherspoon is the defin...May 15, 2013
