Review: Orwell – Endeavors (2009)
I can’t be sure if anyone else does this, but for some reason sometimes I get this ridiculous preconceived notion that just because of a band’s particular geographical location, they might suck. I don’t know why I do that. I feel like I have a pretty level head when it comes to thoughts like that, [...]
Check It Out! Kalmah – For the Revolution (2008)
It’s a sad day when a Kalmah album isn’t reviewed, because these guys are one of the most under-appreciated bands in the history of metal. Sadly, AMR failed to review this album back when it came out despite being a magnifficent display of modern melo death. Well now I am encouraging all of my readers [...]
Check It Out! Die Apokalyptischen Reiter – Licht (2008)
I am just going to call these Germans D.A.R., because their name is a bitch to type out (I guess I could copy it, but they needed an acronym anyway). My primary exposure to D.A.R. has been in the form of Allegro Barbaro, the band’s 1999 effort, which despite my owning it, is very hit [...]
Check It Out! Gorod – Leading Vision (2006)
Thanks to my buddy Chris for turning me on to these guys! Gorod, in the simplest of terms, is Daath with a funk swing. This is technical death metal that needs to be made aware of, because it seems like no one knows about these dudes. So check out this album and tell your friends [...]

In honor these re-releases of what I consider the two [...]

Check It Out! Soundgarden – Ultramega OK (1988)
Soundgarden has announced they are likely going to be doing a reunion tour (full return perhaps?), so in honor of the overpriced tickets for this once great band, I have presented the readers of AMR with the band’s quarky and groovy debut, Ultramega OK which is FAR less mainstream than anything they released 1993 and [...]
Check It Out! Control Denied – The Fragile Art of Existence (1999)
Prior to Chuck Schuldiner’s untimely passing, he was beginning to make new waves with his band, Control Denied, which is a U.S. Power Metal band with the same technical wrangling ever so present in latter Death albums (i.e. that trademarked Death guitar and bass tone). Chuck shows with Control Denied that his vision of metal [...]
