Stampede

I honestly can't remember the last time I walked into a strip club and got out of there without seeing at least one dancer spin slowly around the pole to the tune of HELLYEAH's "Alcohaulin' Ass". Sure, you had the occasional girl, usually jacked up on Red Bull and vodka, blaring one of the band's .....

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...

With Flesh Unbound

Throw a few rocks out your living room window and you're likely to hit a band playing old school and Sunlight-ed Swedish death metal (and I don't just mean bands from Sweden). That has definitely been the case these past couple of years and a massive upsurge has occurred within the last year. And wh...
