A New Disease is Born

I found it rather interesting that NIGHTRAGE would make the jump from Century Media to Lifeforce concurrent with a change in style that has more in common with the modern Swedecore acts on the latter label's roster. We are not talking in relative terms here either, as "A New Disease is Born" has far...

What We See When We Shut Our Eyes

In a review of WITH PASSION's debut album, "In the Midst of Bloodied Soil", I noted that it seemed the band's technical death/metalcore style lacked some direction, although impressive from the aspect of musicianship. Though in no way a bad album, a slight lack of songwriting focus and seeming confu...

What can I say — anyone into '80s thrash should be ecstatic that these albums, long scarce in the United States and out of print elsewhere, are seeing proper remastering and release for the modern age. If I've written enou...

The Life Burns Tour

Every time the opportunity arises to listen to APOCALYPTICA I can be heard muttering something about having immense respect for the metal-by-way-of-cello group, but not having the patience for it. Then I listen to it and wonder what the hell I was thinking. The band's renditions of tunes by the like...

The Dio Years

Few debates make me as nauseated as the one concerning the worthiness of the Ozzy Osbourne versus Ronnie Jame Dio BLACK SABBATH lineups. While it is true (in my mind) that the Ozzy-era lineup cannot be touched from the standpoint of musical trailblazing and the writing of legendary tunes, to say tha...

Zen and the Art

A few years ago I said some album or band was "more underground than Rich Hoak in a mine shaft." The former BRUTAL TRUTH man has more than lived up to my lame joke since that band's initial dissolution — as a member of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION, he carries on their tradition of thinking man's ...
