Mafia
Legend has it that JAMES BROWN used to make his new records on tour, pretty much as he came up with the hook for each song. He'd pull the bus over in whatever town the band was driving through, hustle everyone into the nearest studio, hum and point and snap his fingers 'till everyone got ...March 12, 2005

Cycle of Pain
As much as I enjoyed HAVOCHATE's "This Violent Earth" for its old-school OVERKILL/TESTAMENT crunch grooves and hardass heavy metal attitude, I still thought it was a good, not great album. About half the album crushed convincingly (especially the excellent title track) and half I found to be just av...March 9, 2005

All That Remains
I've got to be honest here. I've never paid a whole hell of a lot of attention to FOZZY, including the outrageous (though quite comical) stolen-tune spoof, the cover songs, and the whole wrestling connection with Chris Jericho. Although I slowly started to pay more attention when word got out that "...February 27, 2005

The Voyeurs of Destruction
I've had the pleasure of having "Voyeurs" for well over a year and a half. So, some of my observations are how well this release has held up for me, but I'll still try and tell you what it "sounds" like, which is the toughest part of any review, especially this band. They put the ...February 27, 2005

Forged by Fire
Greek Guitar God Gus G. (damn, that's a lot of Gs!) never rests. Even after leaving DREAM EVIL to focus more attention on his pride and joy, FIREWIND, he still does time with NIGHTRAGE and MYSTIC PROPHECY. All these bands have benefited greatly from his massive chops; his chunky riffs and ferocious...February 21, 2005

Alien
"Well, aren't you just a traveling shitstorm?" A more appropriate quote couldn't be found for Devin Townsend, nor STRAPPING YOUNG LAD's new one, "Alien". This release has untouchable frenetic speed, fuming and frenzied honesty at its purest, a radical shift in what we've come to know as "extreme" me...February 10, 2005

Altered Genesis
It's one thing for a guy like Tchort (ex-EMPEROR, GREEN CARNATION, CARPATHIAN FOREST) to be involved in so many different extreme music projects, it's quite another for every one of them to be quality acts. Such is the case with the man's rabid American-style (read: Floridian) death metal band, BLOO...February 1, 2005

Harnessing Ruin
There is death metal and then there is IMMOLATION. By that I mean the 17-year veterans are New York-style death metal to the bone, but create quality songs that sound like no one else. The menacing sound, those layered riffs, textured rhythms, and evil-ass Ross Dolan (decipherable) growl came togeth...January 30, 2005
