Dirty Diamonds
ALICE COOPER has been making albums for 36 years now, and it's amazing that he's still serving up listenable, better-than-average fare while most of his contemporaries have lost their muse completely or are content to flog the old hits over and over again. COOPER has certainly had his ups and downs...July 31, 2005

Chimaira
Whatever else you can say about CHIMAIRA, you can't accuse them of taking the easy way out. After the success of their big-label debut, "The Impossibility of Reason", it would have been unsurprising — indeed, almost expected — for their next record to be a bit more accessible, edging closer to radio...July 28, 2005

The Amott brothers pile on the Swede-thrash riffs and lush '80s throw...July 28, 2005

Miasma
People have been crowning bands as "the next AT THE GATES" almost since the day "Slaughter of the Soul" was released in 1995. Well, at the risk of shutting down the mini-industry that keeps Swedish thrash metal hopefuls striving for the goal, the heirs to that throne have finally been found — in the...July 25, 2005

The Sirens of Silence
How exactly does a band follow up an earthquake of an album like "When White Becomes Black", a disc that is equal parts MASTODON girth, KEELHAUL pugilism, and SWARM OF THE LOTUS' own style of split lip racket-core? You make an even better album…that's how! On "The Sirens of Silence", the band takes...July 25, 2005

The 1st Chapter
Wow, what an impressive debut from these Norwegian progsters! I feel the same way about prog metal as I do about power metal: some of it I like a great deal and some of it does absolutely nothing for me. CIRCUS MAXIMUS' "The 1st Chapter" does damn near everything for me. The 70-minute ride is ...July 19, 2005
