Samsara
You don't usually see a label like Century Media give up on a band after one album. But then again, you also usually don't run across bands like Chicago jazz/prog/metal freaks YAKUZA. Harsh metal with a technical bent and distorted sax solos? Haunting mellow free-jazz pieces? In the same song? It's...March 6, 2006

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

Null
Every few years, a band comes along that evokes this startling, timeless feeling, making subgenres in metal look like the useless bin-card dividers they really are, exploring a truly progressive outlook, and making music that's uncompromising, extreme, melodic, and emotional. CYNIC comes to mind, as...January 30, 2006

The Unquiet Sky
As the cosmic whirring and acid-trip drone of four-and-a-half minute instrumental opener "No Able Fires" fills the air, it's a cinch that smooth crooning and hardcore breakdowns won't be following. In fact, INDIAN moves right into a nine-and-a-half-minute crawl called "Ration" that sets the tone for...January 9, 2006

Breathe Fire
That drummer Joe of Chicago's RAISE THE RED LANTERN (RTRL) took over a house serving as residence for squatters and needle riders by writing a false eviction notice and turning it into band HQ and underground event venue makes sense when one hears the unhinged, post-hardcore-ish sounds of "Breathe F...January 9, 2006
