Spine of God
I remember seeing MONSTER MAGNET at the State Theater in Detroit, Michigan sometime around 1991. The quartet opened a bill that featured SOUNDGARDEN with SWERVEDRIVER as direct support, and I'll never forget Dave Wyndorf entering stage left carrying a long neck bottle of Budweiser in one hand with a...April 24, 2006

Holy Diver Live
I take absolutely no pleasure in doing this, because Ronnie James Dio is one of my personal heroes, a man who's lived it all, done it all and exuded nothing but class all the way. He's the reason some of my all-time albums are my favorites. I won't even dignify an idiot's "Ozzy or Dio?" ...April 17, 2006

Pro Patria Finlandia
With Easter upon us, what better time for a review of "Pro Patria Finlandia" by Finland's blaspheming blackened thrash punks? Nobody does it quite like IMPALED NAZARENE, do they? Fifteen years on and the boys still attack with the viciousness and bloodlust of a rabid pit bull. The band's ninth studi...April 17, 2006

Out For Blood
One of the great injustices of extreme music history is that SADUS are known primarily as a secretarial pool for bigger bands. Drummer Jon Allen does time in TESTAMENT and DRAGONLORD, while bassist Steve DiGiorgio has seemingly jammed with everyone heavier than the MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR (partial r...April 17, 2006

Terror For Sale
The last time I interviewed SOILWORK vocalist "Speed" Strid, he hadn't recorded this new TERROR 2000 album yet. I asked him if it was gonna be stressful or taxing to make another album so soon after "Stabbing the Drama", and he replied, more or less, that "we just have to get drunk and go make ...April 11, 2006

Orgasmatron
Having survived the "Robbo" phase that resulted in 1983's often unjustly derided "Another Perfect Day", 1984's double-LP compilation "No Remorse" introduced the world (by way of four new songs) to another revamped MOTÖRHEAD lineup. Ex-SAXON drummer Pete Gill replaced Philthy Animal Taylor and Brian...April 10, 2006

"Mighty Cosmic Dances" by the Czech Republic's OBLOMOV is an album that fans of boundary pushing black and death metal should know about.

Decrowning
Ratings are tricky little buggers, and in a perfect world, we'd probably just ditch the damn things. But I don't think anyone's ever used "perfect" in the same sentence as this place, so the number persists. What does a 7 mean? Is it a thoroughly enjoyable record that you should purchase, from a ban...April 3, 2006
