Ride the Void
Three years have passed since HOLY GRAIL released its first album, "Crisis in Utopia", but what does the passing of time matter to a band whose musical template itself dates from another time and place entirely. That time being the early 1980s, pre-thrash and pre-glam; the place continental Europe a...March 10, 2013

Cassiopeia
Still one of Greek heavy metal's best kept secrets - and one gets the feeling they sort of like it that way - veteran metal warriors NIGHTFALL returned from semi-retirement in 2010 and now appear to be gathering career steam once again with the release of their ninth studio album, 2013's "Cassiopeia...March 10, 2013

Videos 1995-2012
To call RAMMSTEIN avant garde is taking the easy way out. It's enough they've managed to usher KRAFTWERK, KFMDM and LAIBACH into a louder spectrum for a louder generation. Labeling them Krautrock 2.0 is likewise sliding with a cheat, but this band has pushed so many envelopes in sound and moreover,...March 10, 2013
