Scorpion Child
This eponymous debut from Texan quintet SCORPION CHILD surely ranks among the most head-scratching LPs of 2013, maybe the entire decade thus far. Why? Because it's so damn hard to fathom WHAT heavy metal category to file the band under: trad, retro, stoner, groove - heck, even '80s hair metal spring...July 13, 2013

Tabula Rasa
It's no exaggeration to proclaim that the recently (and cryptically) announced breakup of hard rock occultists, THE DEVIL'S BLOOD, left a massive void in this peculiar musical strain's surprising third millennium revival. After all, not only were the notoriously press shy members of this Dutch ensem...July 13, 2013
