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 ...

Into the Cauldron EP

It was a sad day for retro-minded metallers everywhere when Canadian thrashers GOAT HORN acrimoniously split up last year. But you can't keep a good hessian down, and bassist/vocalist Jason Decay wasted no time in putting together a new trio that, if possible, swears even more allegiance to the idea...

Frozen Alive

If you were wanting a general idea of what to expect from OBITUARY's "Frozen Alive" DVD, then take a gander at the review of GRAVE's "Enraptured".

The Blackening

It may also be the best all-out metal recording of 2007. This is a no-holds-barred, brutally heavy, uncompromising al...

From Beale Street to Oblivion

Blame it on a steady diet of old blues and classic rock records, or on their friendship with jammy blues-rockers FIVE HORSE JOHNSON, but don't say you didn't see it coming.
