Shadowcast
Formed in 2004, it's taken six years for death metal super group INSIDIOUS DISEASE to crank out their much anticipated debut album, "Shadowcast". And what a heartbreaking disappointment it turned out to be. Just kidding. It is actually an album that lives up to its membership pedigree, as well as of...July 27, 2010

A New Era of Corruption
I remember reviewing WHITECHAPEL's debut album "The Somatic Defilement" (Siege of Amida/Candlelight) for a revered, but sadly now defunct, print magazine and thinking that the Knoxville boys were really onto something, at least in terms of modern death metal was concerned.

Yep, it is one of those Profound Lore rel...July 27, 2010

Festival
Jon Oliva is one of the world's truly great rock music artists. Folks that disagree probably never heard his work in SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, or JON OLIVA'S PAIN. And it's not like I was ever a huge SAVATAGE fan. The simple fact is that from the moment I heard "Maniacal Renderings" I was...July 27, 2010
