Review: Mares of Thrace – The Moulting (2010)
This is one hell of an interesting band. I haven’t listened to an all-girl band before, nor an all-girl band of two, so this provided me with something new to “hatch” my metal ears with… And two very fine looking women to boot! Mares of Thrace most definitely will get people turning their heads with [...]
Review: Mouth of the Architect – The Violence Beneath (2010)
Between all of the busy things I’ve had to do this week, I thought that I would squeeze a review in there somewhere, so I popped in some sludge, which I do enjoy, but I heard something very different from The Violence Beneath by Mouth of the Architect. I have mixed feelings…

Review: Skull Fist – Heavier Than Metal (2010)
With most of today’s North American bands gravitating more and more towards metalcore, or something of the like, you don’t very often see more of the traditional heavy metal bands like you used to.

Sorry for the downtime over the past few days folks, I was at New England Metal and Hardcore festival for the 7th year in a row. I am currently writing up an epic review of the event which was filled with breakdowns, broads, beer, and a….a stripper? Stay tuned for a review to pop up [...]
Review: Queensryche – American Soldier (2009)
Queensryche is one of those bands that is largely hit or miss for me, leaning more towards the miss. I can understand people’s interest, but in large part, Queensryche is a progressive rock/metal band with aims to create powerful, epic albums which usually end up lacking substance leading me to use the term “vapid” to [...]

Shuffle of the Day
Celtic Frost – Dethroned Emperor (One of the most straight forward, yet hard hitting metal songs of all time)
Jerry Lee Lewis – Great Balls of Fire (This is it folks, this shit is where it all started. The true outlaw of old school rock n roll, this is where the backbeat became essential. This is [...]
