Review: Genghis Tron – Board Up the House (2008)

30 March, 2008 (18:20) | Reviews, grindcore, metalcore, progressive metal | 7 comments

Arguably, Genghis Tron can best be described as a combination of Depeche Mode 80’s electronic melancholy, and grindcore legends Napalm Death. In fact, if you were to go into the store today and look at the packaging of Tron’s latest CD Board Up the House, I think it even makes reference to their electronic/Napalm Death [...]

Review: Death Angel – Killing Season (2008)

29 March, 2008 (00:12) | Reviews, groove metal, post thrash, thrash metal | No comments

Legendary thrashers Death Angel are back with another album after their comeback in 2004 with The Art of Dying. How does one treat comeback albums in comparison to a band’s works during their heyday? Do you give them the benefit of the doubt, or allow them to feel the harsh realities of where they [...]

The Sword Hath Provided Bountiful Freebies

28 March, 2008 (22:47) | Metal news, Music Videos, doom metal, stoner metal | No comments

One of the best modern metal bands coming out of America right now, The Sword, has given us common folk something to jump up and down about this weekend. Not only have they debuted their new music video for their upcoming album Gods of the Earth released on April 1st, but they are also streaming [...]

Review: Black Tide – Light From Above (2008)

27 March, 2008 (00:22) | AOR, Reviews, hard rock, thrash metal, traditional metal | No comments

To say that Black Tide are merely an immature band capitalizing on their age like so many underage artists do these days would be criminal. Combining traditional metal riffs and vocals, and Trivium level production values with crisp drums and solos, the only thing odd about Black Tide is the fact that they don’t play [...]

Tommy Lee in the Guinness Book of World Records?

26 March, 2008 (01:38) | Metal news | 6 comments

It’s true folks, the former Rock God has slithered his way into the music rags again with non-Motley Crue news. Apparently, Tommy Lee has devoted a patch of un-scathed skin to a new tattoo (what part of his body was tattooed that has not already been? I shudder to imagine), flying high on private jet, [...]

Terror Signs With Century Media Records

25 March, 2008 (22:50) | Metal news, hardcore, metalcore | 1 comment

So the hardcore titans have joined the Century Media family. Does anyone think this is a relatively odd home for Terror? Sure, the band has really hit its stride by enfusing its traditional hardcore riffs with metallic undertones, but Terror are realistically one of the few mainstream hardcore holdouts that haven’t completely gone in the [...]

AMR Feature: Insidious Clothing

25 March, 2008 (22:35) | Editorials, announcement | 1 comment

For the female readers who we may attract, this segment might be what you are looking for. I have recently been introduced to an independent business venture by Katie Broad which has a focus on feminine clothing with a metal edge. So many women and girls are reduced to going to Hot Topic, halloween stores, [...]
