Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead
If anyone is worried that the departure of long-time vocalist and fiery front man Sherwood Webber would mean the demise of SKINLESS' patented sound, trust me, you needn't worry. On "Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead", replacement Jason Keyser (brother of bassist Joe) does an outstanding job with his...June 26, 2006

In Triumph
Though the term "stoner rock" has pretty much been a non-starter as far as anyone actually, like, selling records, it remains the most convenient catch-all for those trying to market heavy rock bands of any stripe these days. Thus, Sweden's THE QUILL are stoner rock, despite the fact that to anyone...June 26, 2006

War Zone
And so begins the old debate about the merits of sticking to the tried and true versus musical progression. What it really comes down to is that those bands that sucked to begin with and "stay the course" continue to suck for all eternity. Then you've got juggernauts like BOLT THROWER, OBITUARY, and...June 26, 2006

Exactly the sort of odds 'n' sods record you'd expect as a parting gift to the label from a band on their way to supposedly greener pastures, "Fallout from the War" is being billed as a "companion piece" to 2004 breakthrough "The War Within". Comprised of reworked old stuff, new songs, and a few cho...June 12, 2006

A Light In the Dark
Kurdt Vanderhoof is on top of his game lately. You'd have to be, to resurrect a band name sullied by years of indifference and a half-assed reunion, back it with a lineup of near-unknowns, and still come back out of the gate with the great reviews that 2004's "The Weight of the World" saw. That, ...June 12, 2006

State of Disgrace
The problem is not that HOURCAST's "State of Disgrace" is bland, radio-friendly, nu-rooted modern rock/metal. Oh wait, that is at least part of the problem. The big problem is that the light-to heavy (relatively speaking) arrangements are tolerable if the songwriting is especially catchy or the band...June 12, 2006
