The Astonishing

Coming into a DREAM THEATER album, one sometimes suspects the band is out to build their own "Tales From Topographic Oceans" minus YES's copious splooges of ultra-weirdness—the latter being a double album both revered and reviled. DREAM THEATER's latest work, "The Astonishing", is hardly "Topographi...

Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere

You know the legend and the prerequisite for being in league with Lori S. and longtime drone rawk favorites, ACID KING: You have to read David St. Claire's "Say You Love Satan" just to be in the band, one that has eaten up bassists over the years like the heinous Ricky Kasso and the acid ...

When the Smoke Clears

There's no mystery what you get with Oklahoma mainstream rockers HINDER. They play Average Joe music for Average Joes looking to get ripped, show off their fashionable tattoos and hopefully score on the weekends. A scrap or two is optional. As new vocalist/acoustic guitarist Marshall Dutton sings on...

.5: The Gray Chapter

It's been four years since co-founding bassist and principal SLIPKNOT songwriter Paul Gray passed away. A lot of grief and reported pent-up energy has propagated the band's return, which emerges amidst the controversial replacement of drummer Joey Jordison. Departure or dismissal, that's as much a m...

Review

Pale Communion

"Heritage" turned more than few heads in the metal world as OPETH all but declared themselves liberated from the genre. Death metal is now practically exorcised from the songwriting process of these virtuosos, who turn in a prog-chopped masterpiece bearing the influences of GENTLE GIANT, KING CRIMSO...

Slaves to the Grave

Ingratiating enough to suffer the loss of a brother after pulling off what should be looked upon as a career-defining record twenty-three years after their last one. The tragic loss of guitarist Mike Scaccia was made more palpable in the fact no label would touch thrash legends RIGOR MORTIS' fourth...

Conjuring the Dead

Austrian hellhounds BELPHEGOR return, or should we say, Helmuth and Serpenth do with session appearances by guitarist Schoft (as in the BRUTUS and SATYRICON alumnus) and band-trusted drummer Marthyn. Added to the bloody festivities this round are vocal cameos from DEICIDE's Glen Benton and MAYHEM's...

Bled White

NOVEMBERS DOOM just might have become America's official answer to ENSLAVED and OPETH, in a subtle way, of course. Having fostered their reputation in Europe, it's no surprise the Chicago-based death metallers could pass for a Euro or Scandinavian act. Now carrying more than twenty years under their...

Redeemer of Souls

Gauging the pre-release fan chatter out there, "Redeemer of Souls" rings more like Judgment Day than the release of a new JUDAS PRIEST album. This should be cause for celebration, since it's JUDAS freakin' PRIEST, damn ya. Nevertheless, "Redeemer of Souls" arrives amidst skepticism following their s...
