- LIZZY BORDEN On His Longevity: ‘It’s Desire That’s Really Kept Me In The Game’
Theatrical rock frontman Lizzy Borden recently spoke with Brian Rademacher of RockEyez. The full conversation can be streamed below.

- Epica vs. Attack on Titan – EPICA
If you’re a manga and anime fan, “Attack on Titan” (along with “”One Piece” and “Assassination Classroom”) is one of today’s global phenoms of the genre, much as “Akira”, “Bubblegum Crisis”, “Battle Angel Alita” and “Ghost in the Shell” were in the past. If you want to see culture clash at its best, come to […]
- Viktoria – MARDUK
If you look at a recent shot of MARDUK, that’s no peace sign being waved in your face, but the sign of victory. Like Spy vs. Spy or in old time war. The black metal legends have always had a fascination with war, in particular German combat. Hence, you can be your own judge if […]
- LAMB OF GOD Frontman Praises Sign Language Interpreter Who Rocked Social Media In Viral Video

- Sometimes The World Ain’t Enough – THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA
I’ve said it before elsewhere and I’ll say it again here. If the members of THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA were a group of fashionably dressed Brooklyn indie-rock hipsters in their twenties, the group would be one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. I have zero doubt that the band would be a main […]
- Tormentor – THE AGONY SCENE
In the mid 2000s, one of the most respected bands in the metal underground was Tulsa’s THE AGONY SCENE. Though it bounced from Solid State Records to Roadrunner to Century Media within a four-year span, THE AGONY SCENE was widely considered one of the top quality dark metalcore bands around. Its momentary breakup in 2008 […]
- Desolation – KHEMMIS
The genre of doom metal is overridden with dozens of pretenders cribbing from the playbooks of SLEEP and BLACK SABBATH, and all but a chosen few end up sliding almost immediately in one ear and out the other, not bringing much excitement to the table other than competently executed rehash. That said, there has been […]

The “”Master of Disguise” album two years later proved to be a wild […]
- The Wolf Bites Back – ORANGE GOBLIN
It is inevitable that any British heavy metal band with even a hint of stoner rock or doom metal leanings will have the name of BLACK SABBATH invoked in press descriptions. And yes, there are many musical parallels — both in terms of style and songcraft — that can be drawn from veteran rockers ORANGE […]
