Blackout States
As one of the frontrunners of glam rock, Michael Monroe is still on a roll. His look may be out of step with modern rock conventions, but that's never seemed to faze him. Whether it's HANOI ROCKS, DEMOLITION 23, JERUSALEM SLIM or in this case his solo work, Monroe does his thing and more often ...November 10, 2015

Bad Magic
Lemmy, Mikkey and "Wizzo". They are MOTÖRHEAD, much as the band was Lemmy, "Philthy" and Clarke from the self-titled "Motorhead" through to "Iron Fist". The thing is, the current MOTÖRHEAD lineup has been together a hell of a long time—longer than many metal and hard rock bands. One thing you can gu...November 10, 2015

Kill the Flaw
Eleven albums now and SEVENDUST is still rolling with the same band of brothers, which says plenty in an industry that devours musicians and regurgitates new lineups monthly. Only for three years between 2005 and 2008 did guitarist and heavy-duty songwriter Clint Lowery depart. Otherwise, the band h...October 21, 2015

Psychic Warfare
CLUTCH have become an institution of rock, and not just in their home state of Maryland, where you shall be shunned if you consider yourself deep into music and don't know their name. CLUTCH have long been one of the leaders of the sludge rock revival; along with headbangers, their fan base consists...October 13, 2015

On a personal note, I'm happy to see how far SCALE THE SUMMIT has come over the years. They're proof positive of how far one can go from DIY to international acclamation. I received the band's self-released "Monuments" album back in 2007 as part of a grass-roots Internet campaign by Chris Letchford...August 26, 2015

Archangel
Suffice it to say, SOULFLY is hardly the same band it started out being. Over the course of its existence as Max Cavalera's primary base of operations, we've seen SOULFLY drift from a post-SEPULTURA, "Roots" minded style of groove metal with tribal percussion and occasional hip hop that no longer ap...August 17, 2015

Disbanding all of his prior units BEFORE THE DAWN, BLACK SUN AEON, THE FINAL HARVEST, DAWN OF SOLACE and ROUTASIELU, multi-instrumentalist Tuomas Saukkonen created WOLFHEART in 2012 as his one-man show. Now with a full ensemble behind him for the entity's second offering, "Shadow World", WOLFHEART s...August 17, 2015

A Light in the Dark
Let me start this review by stating that I am a father. Everyone I know says my seven-year-old son is a Mini Me and the splitting image of his old man, this given the fact I adopted my kid. Karma prevails. Though I don't consider myself a true drummer, I noodle with a five-piece Gretsch ...August 17, 2015

The Essential Rob Halford
For JUDAS PRIEST fans, it's referred to (and in some cases, mocked) as "the Ripper years." However, it was more than just that seven year stretch from 1996 to 2003 when Tim "Ripper" Owens realized the dream a lifetime (and its correlating nightmares) by stepping into the boots of heavy metal royalty...August 17, 2015
