The Great Stone War
So I wasn't real nuts about WINDS OF PLAGUE's "Decimate the Weak", although still thought it was a solid (6/10),if slightly directionless album, that certainly has its moments. And that's pretty much my assessment of "The Great Stone War", and album with some good ideas and a handful of good songs,...September 8, 2009

Masterful Mystery Tour
When I reviewed BEATALLICA's last album, the wickedly funny "Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band", some people reacted like I was the last person on earth who still thought the joke had any life left in it. BEATLES and METALLICA songs, mashed up lyrically and musically to varying degrees, with a ri...September 8, 2009

Grey Rigorism
Unbridled, untutored fury makes for good, scary, compelling black metal, as the rawest and most primitive bands of the genre have proved over and over again. But perhaps even more powerful is the band who wields a weighty sound with crushing, calculating precision, creating dynamic tension and labyr...September 8, 2009

Look What God Did To Us
I appreciate atmospherics and ethereality, but generally speaking I read words like "post-rock", post-punk" or "post-whatthefuckever" and I throw up in my mouth a little. It's not always the case, as the shoe-gaze and lushness that one hears on albums by bands like ALTAR OF PLAGUES and WOLVES IN THE...September 8, 2009

Bringer Of Plagues
It seems that Dino Cazares has been through a lot of shit with the guys he jams with, doesn't it? First there's the controversial split with FEAR FACTORY, then there was the highly publicized brawl/break-up with original DIVINE HERESY singer Tommy "Vext" Cummings and now we have the earth-shattering...September 8, 2009

Romulus
I've always imagined that, were they exposed to it, the people of ancient Rome would be some hardcore metalheads. Seriously, couldn't you see BEHEMOTH playing a set between gladiator battles and public feedings of Christians to the lions? How about the thought of legions of Roman soldiers marching i...September 8, 2009
