Kill a Celebrity

Considering Thorp Records' reputation for releasing high quality, boot-to-face hardcore, RAMALLAH's "Kill a Celebrity" surprised the hell out of me, but not in a negative way. I was puzzled initially by Rob Lind's (BLOOD FOR BLOOD, SINNERS AND SAINTS) militantly damning look at a deceitful U.S. gove...

A lot of truths are held to be self-evident when it comes to the current crop of American metal success stories.

Buried in the Front Yard

Think what you will about the record label, band name, cover art, and album title, but RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER's "Buried in the Back Yard" is not a grindcore album. It's a dynamic thrash album with roots in crossover, a musically talented cast, and loads of tongue-in-cheek cleverness. MUNICIPAL WAST...
