Requiem
The self-described "blackout grind" on "Requiem" from Seattle's SKARP works on many levels. As a soundtrack to the album's suicide theme, the feeling produced is one of anxiety and hopelessness, though not in a cold, gothic kind of way. Instead, vocalist Renae Louise Betts uses gritty screams and sc...September 6, 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

The 1st Chapter
Wow, what an impressive debut from these Norwegian progsters! I feel the same way about prog metal as I do about power metal: some of it I like a great deal and some of it does absolutely nothing for me. CIRCUS MAXIMUS' "The 1st Chapter" does damn near everything for me. The 70-minute ride is ...July 19, 2005

Catch Thirty Three
Without repeating the MESHUGGAH praise you've read a thousand times before, I'll simply point out that the importance of this band is without bound.
