El Mensajero No Es Importante

Here's another disc from a German metalcore outfit that was released in Europe by Germany's Bastardized Recordings and now sees a Stateside release through Tribunal.

After the musical brilliance and Swedish might of IN FLAMES' "Colony" and "Clayman", it would have been damn near impossible for future albums to measure up. Initially unsure of "Reroute to Remain", the infinitely more melodic follow-up to "Clayman" ultimately hooked me and I ended up enjoying it im...

Reborn

I seem to recall enjoying SIX REASONS TO KILL's half of a split CD with ABSIDIA ("Morphology of Fear") more than the band's new full-length, "Reborn" (released last summer on Bastardized and now issued stateside on Tribunal). That isn't to say that the German metalcore band has fallen flat on its fa...

Being and Becoming

I don't think it's politically incorrect to call bands like THE SMASHUP the 2006 model of "metal for chicks". This is show-tune hardcore, a candy-coated facsimile of the more underground strains of metalcore, meticulously designed to be a lifestyle accessory for Suicide Girls and eyeliner-bleeding M...
