Mechanize
We've been waiting the better part of a decade for this. That moment where one of metal's most influential vocalists looks his longtime right-hand man in the eyes and croons, "Reunited and it feels so good, reunited 'cuz we understood' and the dynamic duo of Burton C. Bell and Dino Cazares are toget...February 24, 2010

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...February 24, 2010

Strings to a Web
For 25 years running, RAGE has served as one of the lead examples of German heavy metal excellence. Widely respected and led by vocalist/bassist Peavy Wagner, RAGE ultimately became a band best known for its patented mix of thrash and trad-metal riffs — executed with skill and precision for several...February 24, 2010

Three Steps Back
What the hell? Never expected to see these perennially-overlooked HYHC bruisers back at it, and I certainly would never have hoped for a comeback album this full of vitality, elbow-throwing vigor and upbeat, caffeinated old-school fire. "Three Steps Back" brings a welcome dose of that SICK OF IT ALL...February 24, 2010

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...February 24, 2010

The Slagg Factory
Let's get this out of the way — DR. SLAGGLEBERRY has arguably the worst name in heavy metal. It's a name that deserves a cock-punch. It's more suited to a bunch of pretentious twats with thrift-store cardigans and wispy PHISH beards playing what they strenuously imagine to be soulful hippie jam rock...February 23, 2010

Filipino Antichrist
Hands down the most primal fucking release I've encountered in ages, DEIPHAGO's "Filipino Antichrist" ignores silly shit like melody, production and structure and instead attempts to violently behead those brave enough to listen to its eleven bestial tracks. Aside from the sampled intro and outro tr...February 23, 2010

Memorial Roots
Germany's BRAINSTORM are nothing, if not consistent. The band broke out with 2003's "Soul Temptation" and really came into its own on 2005's excellent "Liquid Monster" (an album that in hindsight should have gotten a slightly higher score from yours truly). There was some debate as to the relative m...February 23, 2010
