Behind Enemy Lines
I'm usually up for a sleazy hard rock album with a pinch of punk and a sliver of glam. Well guess what? "Behind Enemy Lines" by Sweden's ENEMIES SWE is a sleazy hard rock album with a pinch of punk and a sliver of glam. Originally released by Sweden's Plugged Records last year, the album ...October 23, 2005

American Currency
Much like PISSING RAZORS, I always had the feeling that BRICK BATH never got much love; maybe I just happened to come across a few particularly scornful reviews. The quartet never tried to be anything but a blistering American metal band with heavy grooves, hard-ass vocals, and screaming solos. And...September 25, 2005

Ogre Tones
Call it the ENUFF Z'NUFF syndrome. A few unfortunate haircuts at the beginning of a band's existence, a well-meant but mismatched tour or two, and a band spends its life consigned to a genre where it fits and functions about as well as COURTNEY LOVE's chastity belt. Many metalheads think they're wea...September 19, 2005

Sunless Days
On BESEECH's fifth album, "Sunless Days", melancholic moments resulting from the darkness that surrounds are short-lived thanks to an emphasis on the tuneful. Sure, the gothic presence is significant and a chill is always in the air, but it's the melodies of songs like "Innerlane", "The Outpost", an...August 21, 2005

Dark Ages
It's been a while since I dove headfirst into a SOULFLY album. After the self-titled debut and "Primitive", I stopped paying attention and missed out on "3" and "Prophecy". I half-expected album number five to be a watered down, more commercially oriented, "nu" type of album. To say I was "shocked"...August 15, 2005

The Sirens of Silence
How exactly does a band follow up an earthquake of an album like "When White Becomes Black", a disc that is equal parts MASTODON girth, KEELHAUL pugilism, and SWARM OF THE LOTUS' own style of split lip racket-core? You make an even better album…that's how! On "The Sirens of Silence", the band takes...July 25, 2005

On Fire
If you're not a fan of classic metal with actual singing, MAIDEN-esque rhythm gallops, and lots of twin guitar harmony work, you're advised to steer clear of "On Fire" by North Carolina's WIDOW. It's the kind of album that should do especially well in Europe, but meet with appreciative response by o...July 12, 2005

Pariah
One can debate the merits of NAGLFAR's "Pariah" in comparison to its 2003 release "Sheol", not a wasted exercise given the qualities of the latter. A couple of listens to "Pariah" though and my preference for it over its predecessor is unequivocal. It's really not a question of one being sub-par and...June 20, 2005
