In the Black

First, let's get this out of the way: Perennial Canadian try-too-harders KITTIE have amassed a catalog over the course of a decade that has ranged from barely passable to downright embarrassing, trading on their novelty status as an all-girl band to keep them in the spotlight despite clunky songs, d...

Massive Aggressive

Before catching these Richmond, VA retro-thrashers in action several months ago, I had been a fan of their energetic crossover, but had yet to really immerse myself into their discography. Maybe it was the way in which they stormed the stage and won over a crowd of testosterone-fueled pit jockeys an...

Will Rap...

Where the hell has this record been? Chuck Mosley's been the ex-singer of FAITH NO MORE for what, twenty years now? After a heinous van accident cut short the life of his '90s band CEMENT, the gleefully tone-deaf man behind "Arabian Disco", "Anne's Song" and (of course) "We Care a Lot" got down to t...

Unquestionable Presence: Live at Wacken

Live albums aren't always the most popular products on the market in this age of digital perfection. Only a scant number actually sound live and convey the primal essence of a band. But when you've got a live album of virtuoso musicians playing a style that somehow melds improvisation and compositio...

Review

Grey Rigorism

Unbridled, untutored fury makes for good, scary, compelling black metal, as the rawest and most primitive bands of the genre have proved over and over again. But perhaps even more powerful is the band who wields a weighty sound with crushing, calculating precision, creating dynamic tension and labyr...

Houses of the Unholy

Japan's CHURCH OF MISERY are one of those bands that seems to exist in some alternate universe, showing up here now and then to release another obscure split single full of weird, psychedelic Iommi worship with lyrics about serial killers, before vanishing into the ether again while far less freaked...

Death Transmutation

I've been listening to Australian merchants of death IGNIVOMOUS for a while now, the band's vinyl offerings spending a lot of quality time on my turntable. So it is with some glee that I welcome an actual compact disc from the band into my humble abode. "Death Transmutation" is as pure as the blacke...

Review

The End of Tomorrow

It is time again for one of those quintessentially heavy metal albums that any self-respecting fan should have in his/her possession. The album is "The End of Tomorrow", the band is RAVAGE, and the music is American power metal with a traditional bent and a thrash metal aggressiveness. It will in fa...

Review

Bringer Of Plagues

It seems that Dino Cazares has been through a lot of shit with the guys he jams with, doesn't it? First there's the controversial split with FEAR FACTORY, then there was the highly publicized brawl/break-up with original DIVINE HERESY singer Tommy "Vext" Cummings and now we have the earth-shattering...

Review

Ignorance Never Dies

You've pit slammed to TERROR and you've wantonly smashed car windows and punched in holes in walls to HATEBREED. Let me introduce you to YOUR DEMISE, the next great metallic hardcore band that will have you stomping this and busting that, if not to purge personal demons, then to have a little fun by...
