Snakes For the Divine

If HIGH ON FIRE released albums once a year, I bet there wouldn't be all this division and hand-wringing about whether each record lived up to the hype, or progressed enough from the last one, or was worthy to sniff the same air as frontman Matt Pike's previous combo, SLEEP (a great band, but — ...

Starve For The Devil

Opening out of the gate with a snarled "let's rock!" and a relentlessly catchy, pop-structured song that wouldn't sound out of place on a CHILDREN OF BODOM record, ARSIS jettison their dense technicality for shout-along choruses and airy, wide-open arrangements on "Starve For the Devil". It's a bit...

Review

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...

Review

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...

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...

Behold! The Monolith

In a day and age when even bands as abrasive and drug-imploded as ZOROASTER are inking relatively big record deals, it seems the time is right for West Coast golems BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH to shamble into view. Worshiping at the altar of the riff, possessed of an earth-rumbling tone, and crafting lengt...

Review

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...

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...
