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. "Clients" is a tough and interesting, hardcore-infused, grindcore-based, and death metal spattered monster that's been given a t...

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...

If anything, it's a step backwards; most of the songs sounding like tracks that didn't make it onto .....

INTO THE MOAT is more of a science experiment gone awry than a band (see: SPIRAL ARCHITECT, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, Canada's MARTYR, and throw in tangential influence everywhere from ATHEIST to GORGUTS to MESHUGG...

I remember giving BRAINSTORM's "Soul Temptation" one of those solid-but-mediocre tags in a review I did a couple of years ago, and I'm still not certain why, as it ended up growing on me. I now consider it to be a fine heavy metal album. That review has always bugged me. Needless to say, I ...
