God Complex

Answering one of the great burning questions on the metal world's mind — where did keyboardist and programmer John Bechdel go after being in PRONG in the 1990's? — we're graced with the debut of his FALSE ICONS project. That's not entirely fair, of course; the man has done time in MINISTRY and Burto...

Heart On

They aren't THE EAGLES and they sure in the hell aren't death metal, so what in the name of Joe Walsh's disemboweled corpse are the EAGLES OF DEATH METAL doing? For starters, Josh "Baby Duck" Homme (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, KYUSS) spends the entire album running so far away from his SABBATH-laced an...

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. There is no question that...

Calm down, "Fogcutter" has got a lot of juicy guitar riff wreckage going on, but let's not get carried away here. Much of what is heard on the album is listenable...

Shogun

Far be it from me to defend the likes of a band who has achieved such a high level of success by doing little more than filtering the highlights of METALLICA's career into a watered-down glass of Kool-Aid for the metalcore kids to slurp down like they were rockin' it in Jonestown. On top of ...
