- TIM ‘RIPPER’ OWENS Defends ‘Groundbreaking’ RONNIE JAMES DIO Hologram Tour, Says WENDY DIO ‘Wants To Please The Fans’
Tim “Ripper” Owens has defended DIO DISCIPLES’ decision to go on the road with a hologram of Ronnie James Dio, saying that the “groundbreaking” tour’s ultimate goal is to please fans of the legendary heavy metal vocalist.

- The Sin and the Sentence – TRIVIUM
Every time I come across a new TRIVIUM album across my desk for review, I smile greater than I do with many others. I tell the story frequently and it’s merely for my own kick since the band did it all on their own and then some. Yet I called it in the parking lot […]

- The Dusk in Us – CONVERGE
CONVERGE isn’t just any band. It has helped expand heavy music’s boundaries since the late nineties. The band’s characteristic belligerence remains on “The Dusk in Us”, but it’s as restrained as you’d expect from a hardened inmate who has successfully done time and is prepared for re-integration into society. In other words, it isn’t too […]
- SUICIDAL TENDENCIES To Release ‘Get Your Fight On!’ EP In March
SUICIDAL TENDENCIES will release a new EP, “Get Your Fight On!”, on March 9. The effort is one of two releases the band has planned for 2018. “Get Your Fight On!” was helmed by British producer Paul Northfield, who first worked with the band back in 1992 when he was the engineer for “The Art […]
- Fatal Command – PÄNZER
Schmier’s a busy fella these days. Following DESTRUCTION’s outstanding Under Attack” from last year, the legendary thrash band is about to uncork another batch of re-recordings from its vault with “Thrash Anthems II”. Meanwhile, Schmier’s other band, PÄNZER, may be suffering the departure of ACCEPT and VICTORY icon, Herman Frank, but that’s not stopping him […]
- Kingdoms Disdained – MORBID ANGEL
The seemingly commercialized industrial metal abomination that was “Illud Divinum Insanus” stands as one of metal history’s most notorious left turns and blunders that a band has made. It’s MORBID ANGEL’s “Cold Lake”. The genre-leading band that was once steeped in occultism and anti-Christian thought before morphing toward mainman Trey Azagthoth’s obsession with ancient Sumerian […]
- Psychosis – CAVALERA CONSPIRACY
We’re not going to start this review with the unnecessary “us vs. them” preamble. Max and Igor Cavalera are one hundred percent at peace, as brothers and artists, and with their trusted sidearm, Marc Rizzo, IMO one of the greatest guitarists on the planet still failing to be suitably glorified, the CAVALERA CONSPIRACY has already […]
- For the Demented – ANNIHILATOR
Jeff Waters is in both a wonderful and awkward spot in his prolific career. He’s creative control as the primary force behind a legendary metal moniker that stands for two different things: the entity itself and the conductor operating it mostly on his own like a thrasher’s Lionel set. Now, if you peel open the […]
- KAMELOT Bassist’s SAULT To Release ‘Seeds Of Power’ Album In March

- Wizard Bloody Wizard – ELECTRIC WIZARD
ELECTRIC WIZARD is unquestionably one of modern doom’s most influential acts. Decades after its inception, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Dorset, England-based band has been morphing into a stripped-down psychedelic and horror-fueled seventies-styled rock band. The seeds were planted with 2007’s “Witchcult Today”. In spite of this increasingly obvious direction, 2014’s “Time to Die” […]
