Scorpion Child
This eponymous debut from Texan quintet SCORPION CHILD surely ranks among the most head-scratching LPs of 2013, maybe the entire decade thus far. Why? Because it's so damn hard to fathom WHAT heavy metal category to file the band under: trad, retro, stoner, groove - heck, even '80s hair metal spring...July 13, 2013

...Like Clockwork
Much like the retroactively canonized KYUSS (who, lest we forget, broke up in abject misery and neglect!),QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE started out as a well-kept secret amongst in-the-know fans of heavy underground music: the latest incarnation of guitarist Josh Homme's "Desert Sessions", it seemed, and...July 13, 2013

The Sun Comes Out Tonight
There's nothing wrong with pop in hard music, as long as it's done with any kind of heart. After all, the RAMONES were quintessential pop rockers on top of punk icons. Richard Patrick has always been bipolar when it comes to his FILTER projects. Almost as if to prove a point, he struck gold with ...July 13, 2013

Dawning
A decade has passed since Ohio's MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT unassumingly crept into what was then a burgeoning post-metal scene, and quickly converted many a fan with a memorable debut that was steeped in equal parts pulverizing power and sublime atmospherics. Since then, the band has enjoyed less wides...July 13, 2013

Abra Kadavar
There's something vaguely WOLFMOTHER-ish about KADAVAR's meticulously coiffed beards and retro-authentic wardrobe - not to mention the almost clinical efficiency of their debut album's proto-metal revival - which, at times, felt rather calculating in its taut, clean construction and delivery. But as...July 13, 2013

Chernobyl Survivor
"Chernobyl Diaries" pushed the limits of good taste as a so-so horror film yet no one cried foul, per se, since the premise was so ludicrous audiences just rolled with it at face-value. So too will speed junkies look past the equally ludicrous title "Chernobyl Survivor" by Quebecois tech thrashers,...July 13, 2013

The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown
Under normal, everyday circumstances, tempers might flare, fists fly, and even vomit spew over the mention of a relatively pure southern rock album being reviewed on these here pages; but when said album issues from the sharp-toothed maw of the eclectic Neurot Recordings, you can rest assured there'...July 13, 2013

Born Under the Capricorn
The members of BLACK CAPRICORN hail from the Italian island of Sardinia, but the inspiration for their sophomore release, 2013's "Born Under the Capricorn", emanates from the zodiac constellation that inspired their name, plus, in their own words, "the beast with horns." Nice! Even better, though th...July 13, 2013
