(N)utopia
While melodic black metal may have been an accurate description for Italy's GRAVEWORM across several albums since 1997, on "(N)utopia" the black metal parts fit only in bits and pieces. A machine-like delivery that consists of industrial-tinged chugging riffs, a marginally pensive rhythm section, an...April 29, 2005

Catch Thirty Three
Without repeating the MESHUGGAH praise you've read a thousand times before, I'll simply point out that the importance of this band is without bound. The problem with what has been written about MESHUGGAH since the release of "Nothing" lies in the opinions of what this band is supposed to be about, a...April 26, 2005

Clients
Much like the anticipation built up for UNEARTH's "The Oncoming Storm", the hype machine has been firing on all cylinders for THE RED CHORD's "Clients", and deservedly so.

Much is made of the mixing of hardcore and death or thrash metal, the term "metalcore" being beaten into the ground by critics and fans alike. At some point, you've got to look at it as nothing more than a band's influences coming together and being realized through the music that is created. I happ...April 10, 2005

Black Empire
I really thought FORCE OF EVIL would follow up a solid, if unoriginal, debut with an album that saw the band coming into its own and honing its craft. Nothing of the sort happens on "Black Empire". If anything, it's a step backwards; most of the songs sounding like tracks that didn't make it onto .....April 4, 2005

The Design
Behind that ugly-even-for-Metal-Blade artwork lies one snarling evil genius of a record!
