10 Steps to Hell
What in the world is going on this month? Lately, it seems that every other CD coming my way is a gem, the latest two beasts from Candlelight. The first, the Hell-born rage of 1349's "Hellfire" and now the deathly fire thrash of GRIMFIST's "10 Steps to Hell". Whereas 2003's "Ghouls of Grandeur" debu...October 23, 2005

The new platter from the Orange County metalcore boys does boast a wider array of riffs, even more variety in the arrangement department...October 23, 2005

As far as sheer heaviness is concerned, the quintet leaves bomb craters in its wake. Except for the brief instrumental, "Collapse", "Gold Becomes Sacrifice" continue...August 29, 2005

Riot Detonator
The scream of "Warrrhhheeeeaaaaddddd!" (No, not the VENOM tune) to begin the second album from Norway's MINDGRINDER was my first clue that "Riot Detonator" would not be the industrial-edged, programmed death metal of 2004's "Mindtech".
