Saosin Go Metal…I Think?
Hands Like Glass seem to think that it’s possible. Hailing from Los Angeles, Hands Like Glass are set to release a new EP With Unveiled Faces, and it definitely gives the vibe of “Saosin gone metal.” Metal purists will hail this as a shitstorm undoubtedly, but I actually find this EP to be pretty catchy [...]
Review: Slash – Slash (2010)
The essence of classic rock; the soaring vocal melodies, the soothing guitar tones and the warm production, is an indubitable and legendary part of our musical heritage. Very few times over the years have we been able to truly replicate the bands of the 60’s and 70’s, which is often why we as music fans [...]

This is the brand new video from hard rockers Something to Burn and the song “Say Goodbye” off of their new album, Transitions distributed by Soft Drive Records (label of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland).
New Artist Watch: Ahimsa Sunrise
What happens when you combine Coheed and Cambria and Saosin with speed metal and metalcore? You get Ahimsa Sunrise, a new band ffrom Pennsylvania that is the nightmare of every elitist metalhead; a bad that you desperately want to hate, but you can’t help but enjoy…even if it’s just a little bit. Ahimsa Sunrise combines [...]
Review: We Are the Ocean – Cutting Our Teeth (2010)
Swanky, new age hard rock with an emo-ish (I know what a cop out that term is, but find a replacement and I’ll use it), quasi-hardcore approach is a common denominator in modern rock with a range from the heavy stuff with Atreyu and Killswitch Engage to the lighter side of things with the likes [...]
Review: VTT – Symptoms of Sin (2009)
Initially when one goes to the VTT Myspace page, you are greeted with a site that is laughably stereotypical of underground nu-metal acts. I was so turned off by VTT’s page that I almost hit the “back” button on my browser, but then I realized how much a jack ass move that would be. I [...]
Review: Crysknife – Mythos (2009)
Crysknife, a band who makes no qualms about admitting the origins of their name. A crysknife is a weapon in Frank Herbert’s Dune, and the brothers Campitrelli (Tom and Steve) are unabashed fans of the series, so as fate had it, Crysknife was brought into the world prepared with affection and zeal to create music [...]
Review: Interrogate – Scarred For Life (2009)
Northern Ireland’s Interrogate is not what I’d call an original commodity. In fact, these Europeans sound like their continent’s equivalent of our Diecast with a strong hardcore and melodic base. Now considering I am a fan of Diecast (save for Internal Revolution), this comparison is not only apt, but encouraging for this reviewer.
Before I begin, [...]
