Anti-Christian Rhetoric is Getting Old..Is There A Better Way to Shock?
Okay, we get it…you defecate on any image of Christ that you come upon, you create shirts with Nuns masturbating with crosses, you tear bibles up on stage and chuck them along with a bloody sheep head into the audience, and of course, the pentagram is your best tool of anti-Christianity….did I miss anything?

Dark Tranquility at Higher Ground, South Burlington, VT
with Portugal Towers, Firewind, and Divine Heresy May 12th 2008

(Tranquillity? Apparently it [...]
Random Album Pile-Up (The Shorter Version)
1. Psycroptic – The Isle Of Disenchantment (2001)
This is how you debut. The Isle Of Disenchantment is a truly awesome death metal album. The production isn’t so hot and the drums at times are sloppy but its gritty, fast and as catchy as ever. Every single song has a riff that you forces you [...]

Sunday Random Album Pile Up 2
1. Rammstein – Sehnsucht (1997)
My first exposure to Rammstein was the song “Engel” on the Mortal Kombat Annihilation Soundtrack.

In Flames: A Sense of Progress
I see it all too often, fans lashing out against In Flames for “selling out”, rather than praising them for a successful progression in their sound. This is directed at the former, as I am somewhat confused at your motivation: is it easier to write off a band for selling out, rather than admitting [...]

In Thrash We Trust Tour…..Where’s the Thrash?
Death Angel’s tour for their horrible new offering Killing Season will feature a slew of quality bands including God Forbid, Light This City, Soilent Green, and Arsis. Normally, I would have no problem with such touring companions, but one question is now beckoned to be asked…where’s the thrash? Did the promoter just put together the [...]
