Review: Ashers – Kill Your Master (2010)
Holy shit! Did I just turn on the lost The Unseen record?! Seriously, any of these tracks on this album could have come off of Explode, save for maybe guitars with a bit more balls to them. Ashers have come forth with their brand new album, Kill Your Master, and this is truly a romp [...]
Review: Demon Hunter – The World Is A Thorn (2010)
Demon Hunter are part of the insurgence of Christianity into the metal and hardcore scenes, fueled by current label Solid State Records (a subsidiary of better known Tooth & Nail Records), who specializes in heavy forms of Christian music. Demon Hunter, also much like their Christian counterparts, have found success in the American market which [...]
Review: Heaven Shall Burn – Invictus (2010)
Who knew that a bunch of Germans would take the fusion of metalcore and melodic death metal, and put the genre’s American ambassadors to shame. Heaven Shall Burn I tend to liken to Dark Tranquillity in that they release album after album of fantastic work. 2008’s Iconoclast was easily one of my favorite albums of [...]
Review: Light This City: The Hero Cycle (2010, Re-release)
So I’ve listened to some really good bands that have a chick as a lead singer, and I’ve heard some bad one’s as well (which I won’t mention, just to save from receiving many, many comments on how I don’t know what I’m talking about), but nothing makes me wanna punch my own brother in [...]
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, [...]

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: Mutiny Within – Mutiny Within (2010)
The debut of the much anticipated Roadrunner self titled release from New York’s Mutiny Within is upon us. Mutiny Within is set to hit stores tomorrow and marks the most “metal” album Roadrunner has released in what feels like ages (contrary to the speculation swirling around that Roadrunner was steering away from metal releases), however, [...]
Review: Aquila – Imperium (2009)
Canada’s Aquila are yet another band to take a stab at the melodic metalcore sub-genre, but unlike many others who steer towards commercialized clean vocal pop during certain interludes, Aquila are completists when it comes to their loyalty to creating a true metal record. 2009’s Imperium is the band’s full length debut and demonstrates what [...]
