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...

The Archaic Abattoir

Proving once and for all that Internet idiocy knows no bounds (as if a trip through this site's comment forums didn't already do that),there's actually scattered talk here and there of ABORTED's new blisterpiece, "The Archaic Abattoir", being a "sellout" for its incorporation of a little bit of "He...

Review

The Funeral Album

Well, the poor bastards finally went and did it. No veiled threats and no pathetic cries for attention, just a recognition that SENTENCED had run its musical course. I'll miss those wonderfully morbid lyrics and the chilly, hook-laden hard rock and metal of the Finnish suicide kings. As much as "The...

Tyranny of Souls

There's a silent majority of us out here in IRON MAIDEN fandom. Sure, we're happy when Steve Harris warms up a plate of reheated past glories, hires a community college dropout to whip up some artwork (that "Dance of Death" cover… sheesh!) and graces us with another increasingly clunky, bloodless, s...

Toronto's DAMN 13, the brainchild of former MONSTER VOODOO MACHINE frontman Adam (Doom) Sewell, are set to kick off a slew of Canadian dates opening for MOTÖRHEAD and CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. In celebration of their 30th anniversary, MOTÖRHEAD kicked off a full North American tour last month. The ba...

Review

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 .....

In the Midst of Bloodied Soil

Hey, whaddaya know? It's an American band playing Swedish melodic death metal with hardcore accents! Sorry, I couldn't help myself, but talk about a style that's been embraced by U.S. metal musicians from east to west and north to south! In this case, it's the California sextet WITH PASSION and the...

Plague Angel

Following an uncharacteristically long wait (since 2002's "World Funeral") and the addition of new vocalist Mortuus (do you suppose he gets MORTIIS's fan mail delivered to him sometimes?),MARDUK roar out of the gate on "Plague Angel" like they've got something to prove. Always fast, brutal and depe...
