Evil Power
You can always count on LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR to kick it old school, kick pretense to the curb, and kick out the motherfuckin' jams. They've done it consistently over the course of three excellent albums of barbarian metal — "Carnage", "The Ultimate Destroyer", and "War Metal Battle Master" (all on S...May 9, 2010

Flat Black
There is so much familiarity involved in the music of SPEED X's "Flat Black" that half the battle is determining the reference points, many of which land on a wide swath of '90s hard rock with associated "alt" and radio-friendly elements.

Circle the Wagons
For as much fuss is made over the worth (or goat forbid, "kvlt" value) of one DARKTHRONE album over another, especially those spanning the last few years, one would think that the music in question is of the avant-garde variety. Hell, it's not even experimental! Any way you slice, it is metal and th...May 9, 2010

The Flames of the End
If you've done any amount of reading or writing reviews of albums by bands playing a style influenced by the Gothenburg sound, then it is virtually impossible that some reference to AT THE GATES wasn't involved. Personally, I know for a fact that I've referenced AT THE GATES over 800,000 times, and...May 9, 2010
