The rock ‘n’ roll spirit of the Wilson sisters has been going through a resurgence as of late thanks to killer outings from Mlny Parsonz (Royal Thunder) and Nicole Estill (True Widow). One you may not have heard of, though, is vocalist Sandra Oliveira of Portugal’s Blame Zeus who even adds a bit of Mama Cass sass and soul to each hard rocker found on latest album, Theory of Perception.

Jacob Bannon Goes Solo With Wear Your Wounds (Album Review)
Take “Grim Heart/Black Rose” off of Converge’s No Heroes, expand it even more and structure an entire album out of it and you’ll have a small inkling of what Wear Your Wounds brings to the table. That’s, of course, oversimplifying the latest project from Jacob Bannon because just like the aforementioned song, WYW is a whole other musical journey unto itself. [Read more…]
Peter Murphy Strips Down Live On Latest Album Bare-Boned And Sacred
Live albums either suck or they don’t. There’s no gray area here. Your album either manages to truly capture that live energy, those different/updated versions of classics, and gives fans a sense of what it’s like to witness the performance in person (Or live it over and over again for someone who’s experienced it) or your album showcases cookie cutter versions of the songs with generic banter and crowd noise interspersed throughout the recording. End of story. [Read more…]
RIP Baddies, Long Live BAIT!
Back in the day (And on another blog), I used to do an annual post basically ripping apart Alternative Press’s “100 Bands You Need To Hear In _____” issue. Maybe ripped apart is a bit harsh so let’s say pointed out which of those 100 bands featured actually deserved some attention. Diamonds in the rough, if you will! [Read more…]

An epic six track slab of monolithic proportions, Wounded Giant’s Vae Victis embodies everything that can be great in the world of desert rawk. [Read more…]
Ghastly Sound Release Debut EP, Singlehandedly Save Rock And Roll In The Process
Like a mix of Torche and Kylesa’s brand of sludge rawk fronted by someone who can bring a Dickinsonian monster croon one minute and a brash growl the next, Ghastly Sound just might be the band to give current rawk and/or roll the swift kick in the ass it so desperately needs. [Read more…]
Bokassa Deliver A New “Stoner Anthem” And More On Divide & Conquer
Take the raw fury of Kyuss’ Wretch, mix it with the aesthetics of some of the greatest albums by Bad Religion and throw Andrew Schwab of Project 86 in front of the microphone and you’ll get a small inkling of what Norway’s Bokassa has to offer. [Read more…]
Mr. Kitty Enters A New World Of Diversity And Awesomeness On A.I.
Any year that yields new material from electro-genius Mr. Kitty is a good year for music fans in general. Whether it’s an LP or a new EP/single, new Mr. Kitty generally brings warmth and fuzziness to earholes. That said, it looks like 2017 will be doing just that as we focus on the former in the form of A.I. [Read more…]
Local Artists Highlight WEMF’s Deathkiss Volume One Compilation
There’s nothing quite like supporting your local music scene especially when it’s a scene that thrives as much as Boston’s does. In addition to all the bands themselves are great outlets like the local clubs and stations like WEMF Radio who provide music fans with opportunities to hear all the diverse offerings Boston artists have to offer. Speaking of WEMF, they just unleashed Deathkiss Volume One featuring some of Boston’s best current heavy artists who can often be heard on the radio show of the same name (Which airs every Friday at 7PM).

Junius Complete A Trilogy, Forge A New Path Forward On Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light
The first time the latest from Junius hit my earholes I was in the air over Baltimore en route to Florida for a fun filled week of Mickey Mouse and NASCAR. Inevitably sleep hit and like a fever dream the dense sounds of Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light drifted in and out of my head, weaving a web of post-rock intricacies that demanded repeated listens for the remainder of the trip away from MA.
