Anders [Modd, bass] is helping the WOLF guys out doing some live shows with them. And as some of you might have noticed, we d...

Live Consternation

Not a lot of surprises on this live set from the masters of dark, depressive heavy rock — unless you count the missing songs. It's understood that KATATONIA uses a lot of effects and production wizardry to create their mournful, massive melodies in the studio, and that some of those songs won't tran...

The Serpent

The fact that much of what is heard on "The Serpent" by Grand Rapids' STILL REMAINS is not my cup of tea does not mean that it will not appeal to those with a hankerin' for modern and melodic, mostly-metalcore. In fact, some of the tunes come with significant hooks. It is also a very ...

The Igneous Race

The duo of metal writers Marty Rytkonen and S. Craig Zahler have returned with a second release from primal black project CHARNEL VALLEY. The follow-up to "The Dark Archives" is a darker, more varied album that its predecessor, although I still prefer the debut. Nevertheless, "The Igneous Race" is a...

Dead Center

SELF TORTURE's "Dead Center" is the sound of rage, no two ways about it. The style is unequivocally hardcore with a sharp metallic edge that turns otherwise standard hardcore fare (albeit, the "true" kind) into something a tad more engrossing. A very tight and full mix, courtesy of Erkan Tatoglu, th...

Collateral Defect

Recalling my review of 2005's "(N)utopia" by Italy's GRAVEWORM, the album was a decent effort that combined the band's patented dark, gothic-tinged even, and keyboard-laced black/death metal, but seemed to lack a certain something. The resulting 6.5/10 was an indication of an album that contained so...

The Golden Plague

Coming to you from Los Angeles, LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH clearly have no qualms about keeping their old school influenced black metal punishment raw and cutting. The disc has nothing pretentious about it, nor does it come off as some veiled attempt to jump the black metal bandwagon. A spotty produc...

Eat Me, Drink Me

Can we all please finally agree that Marilyn Manson has not made a single great album in his entire career? Although each of his previous studio efforts has featured at least a couple of excellent songs ("The Beautiful People", "The Dope Show"),most of his output has been subpar, lacking any truly...

Shadows in the Light

IMMOLATION has been around the label block, seemingly finding a stable home in Olympic Recordings before it folded, and now the group ends up on Century Media (at the time, Olympic's parent company),and deservedly so. Through it all, the New York death metal legends have maintained a distinctive so...
