Strength, Power, Will, Passion

On a purely visceral level, the new HOLY MOSES is a more satisfying beast than ARCH ENEMY's latest — a female-fronted thrash album with roaring harsh vocals and simple, speed-picking riffing that should make any SLAYER, SODOM or THE HAUNTED fan happy. Frontwoman Sabina Classen has been doing this of...

Shovel Headed Kill Machine

Talk about not missing a beat! Three-fifths of the band turn over, Gary Holt lets out a chuckle, and then proceeds to rip off heads and shit down throats with "Shovel Headed Kill Machine". The big question in my mind was how the EXODUS sound would change with the departure of Steve "Zetro" Souza. I...

Virus

The product coming off Peter Tägtgren's death metal assembly line may sometimes be a bit, ya know, workmanlike. But it's rarely low-grade stuff. Whether delving into more pop structures, creating martial anthems like "Roswell 47", or revisiting his speedy, thrashed-out death metal roots, HYPOCRISY s...
