Ironbound
Over the span of 25 years, thrash metal's working class heroes, OVERKILL has yet to disappoint. With the exception of (in my opinion) "I Hear Black", these Jersey natives have done nothing but kick ass and bang heads for the last quarter of a century. You've really got to respect a band like OVERKIL...February 24, 2010

Collection of Souls
It's tempting to call MASTER the RAMONES of death metal, except that THE RAMONES actually sold some records. (Zing!) Anyway, love 'em or forget who they are, it's hard to deny the basic chugging purity of Paul Speckmann's three-decade crusade for the simplest, purest, most primeval form of death met...February 24, 2010

Fury Rising
There's one in every town — the "it band" when it comes to opening pay-to-play shows for SOIL or SEVENDUST or DROWNING POOL, the ones who maybe did a theme song for their local minor-league sports team, or get invited to play the local car stereo outlet's wing-off and wet t-shirt contest every summe...February 24, 2010

Desolation of Eden
This is not good. Though deathcore has become the new "nu metal" to the traditionalist head banger, there are bands out there that that do it quite well and that write music with an ear toward the maintenance of aggression without any sacrifice of suitable songwriting dynamics. Utah's CHELSEA GRIN i...February 23, 2010

Tomb Coven
The thing about "Tomb Coven" from SKELETAL SPECTRE is that had it been released on one of the "bigger" or less cult/underground metal labels it would no doubt have been played up as one of the year's premiere doom/death metal releases, complete with associated propaganda about those "old-school" qua...February 23, 2010
