Remember when All That Remains used to be good? Well combine that with Howard Jones era Killswitch Engage and you get  Across the Sun’s new EP, Pestilence & Rapture. It’s dudeical. Is that how you spell that? Does it matter how a non-word is actually spelled? This is some soulful metalcore with no nasally vocals, [...]

So I was checking my Wordpress stats just a moment ago which includes search terms that lead you to a link on your site. Well, I came across the following search phrase — “what to wear to a 5fdp concert.”

I have to admit, my attention to symphonic and gothic metal this year, female fronted groups in particular, has been terrible.

Yup. This right here. See where I’m pointing? You mean you don’t see the blazing piece of metal that I am pointing at? Ah well, I guess I’ll just describe it to you then. Toronto based Cauldron, traditional in execution represent the remnants of equally compelling Goat Horn whom I had the opportunity to see [...]

Before You Fled, hailing from Peoria, Arizona, are exactly what you’d expect from a modern metalcore act. Harsh vocals, opt-in melodic choruses, chugga chugga breakdowns, etc. Yet, surprisingly, I like these guys! I think Bofore You Fled are an example of doing something right, even if it’s been done a thousand times before. Metal in [...]

However any true metal fan knows that metal, and all its multi-facets, often fill the role of bridge leading its listeners to newfound lands of music that really have little to do with metal in terms of guitar [...]
