BLEEDING THROUGH Film 'Love In Slow Motion' Video
Will Brandan's wife become food for the cannibalistic hillbillies? Is the rest of the band lobotomized zombies? What exactly is that dark figure in the hood? These were some of the questions we were left with at the cliffhanger ending of BLEEDING THROUGH's video for the song "Kill To Believe". That...June 21, 2006

The Dead Walk
Heavy is good, angry is good, and unrelenting pummel is just super. Too bad those elements alone do not define metal excellence. No, I'm not going to rip THE ACACIA STRAIN's "The Dead Walk"; there are some fine cinderblock-to-the-head moments. It is just not something I can rave about. Now down to t...June 5, 2006

Black on Black: A Tribute to Black Flag
It seems that with every passing year, more and more metal and hardcore bands acknowledge the massive influence of BLACK FLAG. Whether the pure hardcore aggression of "Damaged" or the Rollins-era metal-edged work of "Slip it In" or the pain-purging, often sludge-dragging "My War", the band meant far...April 10, 2006

Dead Under Décor
It's never a bad thing when an album starts and your first reaction is "did these guys steal MOTÖRHEAD's gear?" And when a look at the liner notes reveals that the producer is Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, BOTCH),the picture becomes a little clearer. This is some noisy, abrasive, sardonic hardcore/metal (...March 27, 2006

Slit Throat Andromeda
Rumbling up from the New Mexico scene, OF GRAVES AND GODS profess to a lot of diverse influences. And their debut album does indeed veer from hardcore to metalcore to Gothenburg riffery, with a lot of brutal breakdowns and thrashy riffing. Their vocals are harsh and deathly, with the occasional heav...March 6, 2006

Aeolian
Without knowing any backstory on this German collective, "Aeolian" would (perhaps more accurately) be seen as just a decent, somewhat redundant heavy album with a lot of long songs and huge riffs. But THE OCEAN are actually a loose group of musicians who live and work in the catacombs of an abandone...February 6, 2006
