Edge of the World
No disrespect to the dead intended — be it John Entwistle, beloved anchor of THE WHO, or workingman's drummer Cozy Powell, both of whom have left us. But this record, recorded in the mid-'90s, was shelved by JUDAS PRIEST axeman Glenn Tipton's label for a reason. That reason being: it sucks. Even sta...February 27, 2006

Lionheart – Special Edition
Sorta surprising to see a deluxe reissue of an unsung album less than two years old, but hopefully this fancy package will call a little more attention to SAXON's cause over here in the United States of Oblivion.

Prototype
There is a ton of grindcore out there right now and it seems I've run into more good than bad this past year or so. Sweden's EXHALE falls firmly into the "good" category. The music on "Prototype", the band's Emetic Records debut (and second release after the 2004 "…Die Inside" demo) is not only ripp...February 13, 2006

Zombified
Singapore's Pulverised Records may claim to be the "home of black and death metal", but somehow a rabid pack of thrash punkers slipped in through the back door and became part of the family. If it is buzzsaw guitars, shout-worthy choruses, and a drummer that connects like Clint Eastwood in "Every Wh...February 13, 2006
