• New Mastodon Album Inspired By A Punch In The Head

  Blabbermouth reports that the new Mastodon album was inspired by a head injury. I’m not making shit shit up: MASTODON guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds has told RollingStone.com that the origins of the group’s forthcoming fourth album can be traced to the pavement in front of the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas. That’s where Hinds was [...]

• Metallica “Death Magnetic”

  Five years since the release of the laughably bad St. Anger, Man Francisco-based Metallica are back with their ninth full length studio effort entitled Death Magnetic. For months the hype surrounding this album has been building with everyone claiming that Death Magnetic is Metallica’s triumphant return to the sound that made them famous in the [...]

• Boris “Pink”

  Any reference to “pink” in the minds of most people into underground metal might obviously point to a beloved part of the female genitalia. Here, it may be a reference to the piece of skin that connects the male bag to the rim. Boris have enlightened the world with a disc that fills the void [...]

• Mouth of the Architect “The Ties That Blind”

  Mouth Of The Architect are one of those bands I never got around to check out until recently, so when this CD came in the mail, I was pretty excited. Little did I know it would not leave the confines of my stereo for weeks to come! The Ties That Blind is the sophmore full-length [...]

• Mastodon “Blood Mountain”

  I hesitated for nearly a full year before finally giving Mastodon’s latest full length offering Blood Mountain a listen. To be perfectly honest, I never bothered listening to this band when they were signed to Relapse Records. After scoping out a couple of glowing reviews from a couple of cock rock "metal" zines, I [...]

• Lordi “The Arockalypse”

  For those barely paying attention to the music business as a whole, Lordi won the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, which was "shocking" since said contest tends to favour Céline Dion, ABBA, Katrina and the Waves and other such monsters of rock. Lordi have parlayed that win into a North American domestic release for The [...]

• In Flames “Come Clarity”

  Originally, I wasn’t going to review this. I was originally not even going to listen to this, but rather pretend it didn’t exist and that a mythical "Whoracle 2: The Fellowship of the Two Decent Gothenburg Kings’ Return" was forever in development hell and that is why there were no new good In Flames albums. [...]

• In Flames “Soundtrack To Your Escape”

  Umm… what? I don’t quite get what this album is supposed to be about. Is it supposed to be a return to In Flames of old, or is it supposed to be nu-metal taken to the next level of lameness? The latest release by Sweden’s In Flames is like a journey of [...]

• In Flames “Colony”

  They should take the tank from the cover of the last Marduk album, line up all of the bands in Sweden and CRUSH THEM ALL! Why must we be bothered by all of this crap? From Dark Tranquillity, to Opeth, to Marduk, to this horrible band In Flames, we are constantly bothered by [...]

• In Flames “Clayman”

  This is not death metal. I don’t care what anyone says, this is most definitely not death metal. Death metal is aggressive. Death metal is fueled by hate. Death metal is a musical release of pent up anger and frustration. Death metal is a style of music that when you [...]
