Disperse the Curse
One would think that the music made by a group comprised of members of bands like WEEDEATER, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY and SOURVEIN would speed global warming and knock the earth off its axis. That's not quite the case with HAIL!HORNET on "Disperse the Curse". The whisky pissed, burn-holed vibes of what...July 30, 2011

Conjure and Command
It is interesting to note how often TOXIC HOLOCAUST gets namedropped as a point of reference in reviews of damn near any album that has any association whatsoever with gnarly old school, punk powered thrash or any review in which DISCHARGE is referenced. There is a good reason for it though, as Joel...July 28, 2011

Dedicated to Chaos
Time to tell it like it is. QUEENSRŸCHE's "Dedicated to Chaos" is a sure bet to have fans and critics fiercely divided. The Seattle stalwarts have damn sure earned the right to experiment, push boundaries, and do whatever the heck else they want to do. And that is essentially what they've done since...July 28, 2011

The Local Fuzz
You know those little pocket-sized toy guitars with buttons on them that unleash a Bill-and-Ted-worthy volley of riffing when pushed? Stick one of those in your back pocket and sit on it for forty minutes. If the nonstop riffalanche that ensues leaves you fatigued, bored, or pissed off, then your AT...July 28, 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

Apocalyptic
Here is one of those random selections from the promo stacks of little known record labels and independent bands. As it turns out, the selection was a good one. Reading "thrashcore" in the press release is misleading, as much of what is heard on RISING DARK's "Apocalyptic" is about as thrashcore as...July 27, 2011
