Artimus Pyledriver
Atlanta's ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER was named after LYNYRD SKYNYRD drummer Artimus Pyle, which goes a long way toward explaining the southern rock boogie and redneck soul that defines the band's self-titled debut. Whiskey swilling, southern bad boy HARD rock filled with concrete tough rhythms and a boatloa...June 12, 2006

To Escape Is To Suffer
With all the fanfare of a tree falling in the forest, this record hit the shelves a couple months ago. What the hell kind of world do we live in when a killer slab of Florida death metal, one with honest-to-christ songs and a sense of tempo almost unknown today, gets released, and no one ...June 12, 2006

Now, Diabolical
Is SATYRICON true black metal or have those deep roots been abandoned for more accessible fare? Has Satyr sold his soul to the devil for commercial gain? Give me a break. You heard it when "Volcano" was released in 2002 and you'll undoubtedly hear it with the release of "Now, Diabolical". The new al...June 5, 2006

The Volume of Self
It seems like every summer, Crash Music rolls the dice on one relatively big project, one that stands out from their usual fare of licensed albums from Europe. None of their hopefuls from the past few years have really set the world on fire – anyone still talking about MY FATE or BRICK BATH? — ...June 5, 2006

Our Darkest Days
The terms "melodic" and "hardcore" tend to go together like oil and water if not done just right. On "Our Darkest Days", Orange County's IGNITE does it just right. Considering the number of bands that combine the two elements and ultimately water down the best parts of both (i.e., WITH HONOR),that...May 29, 2006

The Mystery Spot
Slinky, sleazy blues-and-booze rock from the Rust Belt of the USA, lumped in with the stoner rock crowd because there's really nowhere else for 'em to get lumped (at least not until you all wise up and go buy some TENDERLOIN records). Ohio's prodigal drunks get a lot more love in Europe than they do...May 29, 2006

Lunar Womb [reissue]
Without diminishing the impact of this revered classic at all, it's only fair to say that Scott "Wino" Weinrich has topped "Lunar Womb" at least a few times since its original 1991 release. Hell, OBSESSED swansong "The Church Within" is arguably better, and definitely sounds more kickass. And the ma...May 29, 2006
