The Last of My Kind
We need more discs like CRESCENT SHIELD's "The Last of My Kind" to remind us of the classic metal sound of old and just how refreshing it can be in this metalcore-saturated world. The Los Angels band, featuring ex-DESTINY'S END guitarist Daniel DeLucie and ex-ONWARD vocalist Michael Grant, unleashes...December 4, 2006

Wounded Skies
This one has been out for quite a while now, but was sent my way only recently. It's worth the cyber ink, so we'll knock it out regardless. With "Wounded Skies" Italy's STORMCROW slams through four songs and one intro of unforgiving black metal malice that will appeal to fans of speeding traditional...December 4, 2006

Feeding the Abscess
Where would we be without ATHEIST? What about CYNIC? From whom would bands like Canada's tech deathsters MARTYR take their cues were it not for the technical wizardry and jazzed up death metal of said legends. I suppose one could hail fellow Canadians CRYPTOPSY and GORGUTS, especially one when consi...November 27, 2006

War
"This war…is relentless!" comes the commanding bark of vocalist Ché Snelting and the gang shouts of his band mates in BORN FROM PAIN. It is a most appropriate introduction to an album that is every bit as explosive and riddled with bullets as any battlefield scene from anywhere in the world. This is...November 20, 2006
Review
Gateway
The cold grey album cover of "Gateway" from Finland's PESTIFEROUS speaks volumes of the pitch-black metal in store for the listener. Few would mistake PESTIFEROUS for one of the genre's great ones, but many should applaud the band's better than average assault, which features more than just DARKTHRO...November 20, 2006

THE HAUNTED Frontman Pissing In The Wind
THE HAUNTED frontman Peter Dolving has posted the following message on his MySpace page: "What is the big deal with discussing stuff like economical system or religion? "It's amusing how people are so eager to attack as soon as anyone simply sets about and types the right trigger words. Sometimes I...October 9, 2006

Subliminal Genocide
It seemed a tad strange to find that the new 71-minute full-length from Malefic's XASTHUR was being released on Hydra Head. That is, until one considers that the lo-fi black metal atmospheres and dread-drenched trance of "Subliminal Genocide" is the kind of expansive, heady, and off-the-beaten path...October 2, 2006

Tales of Rock 'N' Roll
Considering the U.S. release date was August 1st and the disc arrived sometime thereafter, the review arrives a tad late. But hey, it's the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, so better late than never. After 25 years (not counting the early UFO/SCORPIONS work),the German guitar god can still squeeze out a phe...September 24, 2006

Shot to Hell
Talk about a prolific writer! Guitar god Zakk Wylde kicks out albums like rabbits produce offspring. On BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's "Shot to Hell" (Zakk's eighth),the only real surprise is a more varied mix of material, that being the traditional Zakk hard ass riff-n-squeal rockers along with several mel...September 18, 2006

Endgame
Don't call Andrew Staehling a control freak. He just happens to know what's best for his "band" SOULSCAR. On "Endgame", the project's third full-length release, Staehling contributes vocals, guitars, bass and keys, not to mention producing the album. Although other musicians do contribute vocals and...September 11, 2006
