Recently I received an email from a metal writer who hails from a well known metal e-zine (I’ll leave the disclosure up to him if he deems it necessary) asking if there was room for another writer here at AMR. I honestly hadn’t really given it a thought as July has received record numbers in [...]
Being a reviewer is much more difficult than one might think. You have to listen to each song critically, and then construct sentences in a coherent way that allows readers to understand exactly what you mean. Sometimes though, you run into an album that inextricably causes a major case of the brain shits in [...]
If you have heard the new Cryptopsy, then this parody will find justice with humor for all who felt disenfranchised by the band’s “new sound” on the album The Unspoken King.

1. In Dire Need - Lost At Sea (2006)
I recently found this album still wrapped up at the bottom of my backpack from this year’s venture to the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Upon pulling Lost At Sea out, I figured I’d check it out since it was free and obviously meant for [...]
It’s one thing to create a side project to release some of that pent up weirdness that you can’t express in your full time Gig, but it’s another thing to be featured on fucking Hard Attack on Sirius, as well as Metal Injection radio shows for thousands of listeners to hear!

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few days folks, I was up visiting friends in Vermont since Thursday, so I really wanted as little interaction with the computer as possible. However, I am back and ready to unleash AMR’s very first music podcast! I have been tooling around with this idea for [...]
You know, I want to not like this song and this video so bad. As cheesy, repetitive and overtly over the top as just every Dragonforce song has been since they were Dragonheart, I can’t help but fall right back on their bandwagon with this song. Dragonforce are not the best power metal of the [...]
Combining ferocious grooves ala Lamb of God, a modern guitar tone in the vain of modern Exodus, a vocalist who is harsh but not unintelligble much like Leif Jensen of Dew-Scented, and finally, the infinite beats that made Fear Factory powerhouses, are what constitute the debut release of Fracture Point, entitled Inherit the Downfall.
Prior to [...]
With no hesitance in combining pop chords and heavy breakdowns, Know Lyfe is a band that has all the makings to become a mainstream success beyond the metal circuit. However, for now, the band is content in riding a newfound wave of success and appreciation from a national audience. I was given the opportunity to [...]
