British Steel: 30th Anniversary Edition
People throw out the term "classic" so often that it tends to lose its true meaning, but when talking about JUDAS PRIEST's 1980 grand slam "British Steel" the meaning of the word cannot be overstated. It is a classic much like AC/DC's "Back in Black", IRON MAIDEN's "The Number of the Beast", BLACK S...June 20, 2010

Tales of the Coffin Born
If you dug BONE GNAWER's "Feast of Flesh" (Pulverised Records),then there is no reasonable explanation as to why you wouldn't dig THE GROTESQUERY's "Tales of the Coffin Born". The heavyweight main players are the same; Kam Lee (MASSACRE, DENIAL FIEND) on vocals and prolific Swedish death metal jour...June 20, 2010

Powerkiller
This is just way too much fun. The "Thank You" list in the liner notes of EVIL SURVIVES' "Powerkiller" tells the story about as well any analysis of the actual music: "Satan, the '80s, IRON MAIDEN / JUDAS PRIEST / MERCYFUL FATE (for the riffs)." The six-track vinyl-only release from vinyl label War...June 20, 2010

Full Of Hell
One of the highlights from my trip to this year's SXSW (South By Southwest) festival was the Relapse Records showcase. Already exhausted from an afternoon full of music, beverage and the sweltering Texas heat, the mere thought of seeing KILL THE CLIENT, TOMBS and the almighty VOIVOD on one stage was...June 20, 2010

Dark Ages
The Great White North's BISON B.C. had some big shoes to fill following up the beastly juggernaut that is "Quiet Earth", one that afforded them the right to claim status as Canada's answer to – depending on who you ask — MASTODON or HIGH ON FIRE. The good news is that "Dark Ages" slips comfortably ....June 20, 2010

Greatest Hits: Remixed
When one thinks of Canadian power trios RUSH may be the first that comes to mind, but TRIUMPH is a close second. As far as definitive area rock is concerned, TRIUMPH may actually nab the top spot. When bassist/keyboardist Mike Levine and drummer/lead vocalist Gil Moore started the band in 1975, prac...June 20, 2010

Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult
I'd read a bit about INQUISITION over the years and with my interest piqued I'd always wanted to check out an album, but never got around to it until now, thanks to a Hells Headbangers digital promotional copy of reissued 1998 debut album, "Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult". Now I know...June 20, 2010

Draw Down the Moon
While I've never outright "disliked" ICARUS WITCH, I've never found their albums to be especially impacting nor have I gotten in line with what seemed to be a parade of praise from critical circles. Solid albums, yes; ones with long-lasting appeal, no. Some of that had to do with Matthew Bizilia's s...June 20, 2010
