The New Age of Terror
You may recall that HIRAX released two Metal Blade albums — "Raging Violence" (1985) and "Hate, Fear, and Power" (1986) — before finally calling it quits in 1989. Playing a kind of thrash/crossover fast blast style, given a twist by wild man Katon W. De Pena's classic metal vocal style, the group li...August 15, 2005

It sounds to me like four young dudes got into their older brothers' record collections and discovered the raucous music of crossover bands like D.R.I. and full-on thrashers like EXODUS and NUCLEAR ASSAULT, then decided to take matters into their own hands. "Hazardous Mutation", by Richmond, Virgini...August 15, 2005

Vendetta
Based on my lukewarm feelings about "Haymaker", I was prepared to give THROWDOWN's "Vendetta" a mediocre review. I seem to be one of the few that weren't knocked on their asses by the 2003 release. The album has its moments, but seems to drag at times; something about those extra thick, breakdownish...August 7, 2005

Chimaira
Whatever else you can say about CHIMAIRA, you can't accuse them of taking the easy way out. After the success of their big-label debut, "The Impossibility of Reason", it would have been unsurprising — indeed, almost expected — for their next record to be a bit more accessible, edging closer to radio...July 28, 2005
