New Artist Watch: Ahimsa Sunrise

1 March, 2010 (22:21) | hard rock, metalcore, new artist watch, speed metal | No comments

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)

22 February, 2010 (20:57) | Reviews, melodic death metal, metalcore | No comments

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)

1 February, 2010 (20:26) | Reviews, melodic death metal, metalcore | No comments

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 [...]

Review: Falling to Pieces – Awaken the Weak (2009)

15 December, 2009 (22:36) | Reviews, melodic death metal, metalcore | No comments

Falling to Pieces, the Bay area metalcore quintet perhaps most notable for having former Bleeding Through guitarist Scott DaNough amongst its ranks, has released its second full length record, Awaken the Weak. By combining the stylings of the late Light This City, with a little early Bleeding Through, Falling to Pieces attempt to take a [...]

Review: Anubis Unbound – Through Cursed Eyes (2008)

10 November, 2009 (23:24) | groove metal, melodic death metal, metalcore | 3 comments

Baltimore’s Anubis Unbound, a metalcore/melodic death metal band, released their first full length last year in the form of Through Cursed Eyes. This is the first I have heard from this outfit, and one thing I am very happy to hear is a lack of deathcore in their music. While Through Cursed Eyes isn’t “old [...]

Review: Noriega – Desolo (2009)

6 November, 2009 (22:34) | doom metal, metalcore | 7 comments

Noriega is a band I have been waiting to appear on the scene. Combining metalcore and doom metal, Noriega are finally that bridge between the stoner/doom sensation of the last year or two, and the recent past’s indelible presence of metalcore. Ironically though, despite having a very modern image and a metalcore highlight (due in [...]

Review: We, The Undersigned – Bleed the Constants (2009)

31 October, 2009 (14:54) | Reviews, metalcore, progressive metal | No comments

We, the Undersigned, yet another band hailing from the greater North East of Canada ( in this case, New Brunswick), bring us their latest release, We the Constants, which brings to the table a lot of energy and quality musicianship, but as we have seen with past acts, combining good intentions with musicianship doesn’t always [...]

Review: The Devil Wears Prada – With Roots Above and Branches Below (2009)

24 October, 2009 (10:49) | Reviews, deathcore, metalcore | 1 comment

I’ll tell you, I honestly don’t know where all the hate for The Devil Wears Prada comes from. For some reason, based solely on their popularity, The Devil Wears Prada is often cited along with Saosin, Atreyu and Underoath amongst others based on their label participation or maybe whom they have toured with in the [...]

Review: Struck By Lightning – Serpents (2009)

1 October, 2009 (23:19) | Reviews, metalcore, stoner metal | No comments

Struck by Lightning from Columbus Ohio are a new stoner group with hardcore influences to appear on the scene. I don’t know about everyone else, but I tend to be more critical of this genre because of the immense talent it takes to succeed in it. When you look at the bar set by such [...]
