Review: Ramming Speed – Brainwreck (Reissued 2009)

29 November, 2009 (22:43) | Reviews, thrash metal | No comments

Ramming Speed is a band I have been following for a couple of years now mainly due to the fact that they are an awesome band who hails from none other than Boston, Mass. I am a huge thrash fan, and most of the great modern thrashers hail from outside of the New England region [...]

New Writer For AMR!

27 November, 2009 (21:12) | announcement | No comments

So we here at AMR have a new writer amongst us! Her name is Dalia, and she is a definite wordsmith, bringing a new personal aspect to her prose which can be read in two reviews she has written prior to this post. I’m sure she will let everyone know her personal opinions and tastes [...]

Review: Wizardry – Wizardry (2009)

27 November, 2009 (21:06) | Reviews, progressive metal | 1 comment

Wizardry. When I had heard of this band, I assumed that this was just another “garage band.” A band that had thrown together a bunch of sounds that sounded kind of good when they had tried them all separately. Then recorded it on their crappy equipment, and have delusions of their band some day “making [...]

Review: Noctis Imperium – Imperium EP (2009)

27 November, 2009 (21:03) | Reviews, black metal, death metal | No comments

Noctis Imperium. An up and coming band from Venezuela that promises to “unleash it’s disease on humanity,” with their “anti-religious” lyrics and “shear brutality.” Same old song from a different bird some may say, as this band sticks to a very similar formula as most other black metal bands do. A distinct formula of interments [...]

AMR Vinyl Revolution #1: Prosthetic Records May Suck, But Skeletonwitch Does Not!

27 November, 2009 (19:58) | Vinyl Revolution | No comments

Hey everyone! I know I was talking about starting up a review section for vinyl, and I am just getting around to doing it now after finding a suitable camera for taking photos(I could never justify buying a camera since I wouldn’t use it very often…figures). Anyway, so as to avoid blowing my proverbial wad [...]

Review: La Fin Du Monde – Monolith (2009)

23 November, 2009 (22:21) | Reviews, post metal, stoner metal | No comments

Oi vey…alright, I think I have reached my capacity. I have received umpteen million stoner and post metal albums (alright, maybe far less than that), and despite the overall positive quality of the releases, consisting of massive amounts of innovation, I think the market is beginning to become saturated. What began with the whirlwind known [...]

A Backward Glance On A Travel Road

23 November, 2009 (21:39) | Avant Garde, Reviews | No comments

Anyone who knows this blog knows about my massive appreciation of the new French prog death metallers HYPNO5E, whom are poised to make a dramatic impact on the American market very, very soon on the Metal As Art tour followed closely by another tour. On top of touring and still promoting their debut release Des [...]

Review: Doro – Fear No Evil (2009)

22 November, 2009 (21:36) | Reviews, traditional metal | 1 comment

Doro Pesch is well known for one thing, being a hot, confident vocalist within the heavy metal genre. Starting out in the German group Warlock, Doro achieved some notoriety, most notably some video coverage on MTV (again, mainly because she was a talented hot vocalist with some decent musical companions), but her real claim to [...]
