Katatonia Return With Beyond Epic The Fall of Hearts
My introduction to Katatonia was sheer luck. I was waiting for an interview with Devin Townsend at the Worcester Palladium a few years back while then touring mates Katatonia had just begun their soundcheck. [Read more…]

Burton C. Bell: A Rock And Roll Fables Conversation
Fear Factory’s latest, and ninth album, is barely a year old yet here they are touring the country playing their iconic sophomore album from front to back.

Jokes! Episode 8: Daniel Tosh People Pleaser
Let it be known that I hold grudges and have held a grudge against Daniel Tosh since that “rape joke” incident happened a few years back.

Devildriver’s Trust No One Is Their Best Yet (Album Review)
I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that metal fans either love or hate Devildriver. There just doesn’t seem to be a middle ground. There are those that never thought they were a “legit” band to begin with because of front man Dez Fafara’s beginnings in nu-metal while others seemed to wholly embrace the band from their onset (And more scary for us older fans are those that got into Devildriver without even knowing who Coal Chamber is!)

Fear Factory Bring It Back To 1995 While Still Looking To The Future During Worcester Stop Of Demanufacture 20th Anniversary Tour
My first exposure to industrial metallers Fear Factory was back in college and the Mortal Kombat soundtrack which featured “Zero Signal” off a little album called Demanufacture. Something about the synths and the syncopated guitar and drum attacks paired with vocalist Burton C. Bell’s growl to a croon approach immediately stood out to me. And as a fan of bands like Ministry and NIN already, this took me to a new level. [Read more…]
