Sounds Of A Playground Fading

It's nearly impossible to discuss IN FLAMES without inciting nearly riotous emotions from the legions of fans who adamantly (and sometimes vehemently) aver that the band lost all worth after "Clayman". I suppose that argument is valid to an extent, as many fans undoubtedly felt abandoned by the styl...

Khaos Legions

Considering it's been four years since we've been bludgeoned with new material from the four Swedish metal veterans and their spunky German growler known as ARCH ENEMY, it goes without saying that fans have been chomping at the proverbial bit for the arrival of "Khaos Legions". While those four year...

Macabre Eternal

I must admit that it is nice to hear an AUTOPSY album with a good production, especially since the sound clarity accentuates the amazing and underrated compositional skill of these reunited death metal godfathers. Though originality is no longer the focal point, "Macabre Eternal" is a phenomenal alb...

March of the Norse

Have you always wondered what an IMMORTAL album might sound like if the jagged edges were smoothed out, one tempo was ridden for the duration, and arrangement variation was strictly limited? Then DEMONAZ's "March of the Norse" is the album with the answer to your burning question. That's an exaggera...

Human Remains

I damn near missed this one, and what an unforgivable crime that would have been. U.K. occult metal act and obscure NWOBHM fringe sitters HELL released multiple demos during 1982-1986, but never got over the hump. Many years later SABBAT vet, acclaimed producer, and dedicated HELL fan Andy Sneap got...

Burn Again

Chicago's SUPERCHRIST is one those great America bands about which some of you may not be aware, but damn well should. Every album in the catalogue is first rate, frill-free heavy metal rock 'n roll that takes the best of Bronze-era MOTÖRHEAD, a little punk rock in the directness, and then fuels the...

Normally, one would be wise to avoid a plague of locusts. Prophets even warn about locusts in The Bible. However, in the summer of 2011, metal fans and headbangers are going to happily succumb to a "Locust" in the form of a brand new track from Bay Area metal icons MACHINE HEAD. The band, which ...
