- 1755 – MOONSPELL
MOONSPELL has never been the kind of band that writes the same album over and over again. The overarching label “gothic metal” is an adequate descriptor, yet Portugal’s leading metal band clearly does its best to differentiate its material from that which came before. This mindset bleeds through to album number 12: “1755”. Although the […]

- Asking Alexandria – ASKING ALEXANDRIA
The UK has infiltrated American agro rock with the likes of BRING ME THE HORIZON, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and, of course, ASKING ALEXANDRIA. You can read broad itching from the British press ripping on the Americanized syndrome of their metalcore-plying countrymen and they have a point. It’s getting dangerously generic as […]

- The Stage Deluxe Edition – AVENGED SEVENFOLD
A terrific album just got even better. In 2016, AVENGED SEVENFOLD tackled its first concept album, “The Stage”, an album rolling off the tongues of many in the same sentence as “masterpiece.” “The Stage” is a contemporary metal wonder, bleeding the band’s toughened agro chops into savvy progressions. Call it a little bit of QUEENSRŸCHE, […]

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Dan Lorenzo from HADES, NON-FICTION and THE CURSED, and while the metal underground continues to wallow in morbid fascination with anything containing a sludgy, doomy palette to it, he emerges with a timely new project.

- The Missing Peace – L.A. GUNS
The saga of L.A. GUNS is far too exhaustive and contentious to recount within an album review. Most fans don’t need much beyond a bullet-point recount that Tracii Guns started the band and once had Axl Rose in his arsenal before history altered the pair’s mutual courses. While L.A. GUNS never came within the commercial […]

- Pounding The Pavement – ANVIL
ANVIL: the band you love to love. Whatever Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner hoped to achieve for themselves with their heartfelt, quasi-documentary film “Anvil!

Easy one to kick off the new year, what do all these acts have in common: GWAR, LORDI, SLIPKNOT, MUSHROOMHEAD, MOTOGRATER, GHOST, UNDERLINED, ASESINO, BERZERKER and Buckethead? The same thing as TERROR UNIVERSAL, a supergroup of masked marauders. Here the band is made up of alumni from ILL NINO and UPON A BURNING BED. What […]
- Sinister – APPICE
