Aftershock

God bless MOTÖRHEAD. At age 68, Lemmy Kilmister, of all the genuine rock 'n roll bad boys left to us, is monitoring his health.

Serpents Unleashed

Quickly turning into ol' reliables of the neo-thrash circuit, SKELETONWITCH make next to no modifications to their turbulent speed routine for their fifth album, "Serpents Unleashed".

Destiny of the Gods

The Detroit-based metal troupe COVEN from the mid-Eighties is not to be confused with the more notable Seattle thrashers of the same name arriving shortly after these guys.
