God Complex

Answering one of the great burning questions on the metal world's mind — where did keyboardist and programmer John Bechdel go after being in PRONG in the 1990's? — we're graced with the debut of his FALSE ICONS project. That's not entirely fair, of course; the man has done time in MINISTRY and Burto...

One with Filth

Easy on the ears this is not. The music of Sweden's CROWPATH has never been confused with "Sounds of the Rain Forest". The band's nerve wracking ways continue on new full-length, "One with Filth", ensuring that followers will still experience befuddlement over attempts to accurately describe the ext...

Slaves for Life

This one is a behemoth. "Slaves for Life" by Israel's AMASEFFER is a 77-minute progressive/orchestral metal/rock album about the plight of the Israeli people as told in the Old Testament. Part one of a planned trilogy, it is mind boggling to think that AMASEFFER has two whole albums left in them to...

Tweak'd Out, Strung Up...

Hey, Meteor City's back! Good to see the nameplate under new management, still flying the flag for the unrepentantly shaggy, heavy-lidded and riff-tastic. EIGHTEEN WHEELS BURNING is a hard-livin', hard-touring stoner rock band risen from the long-cold ashes of THE WANT, who did a record on Southern...
