Singles! Tysk Tysk Task, “Toadstool”

Tysk Tysk Task make the kind of music that you long for. From the moment we first dove into sophomore LP You’re Sorry More we heard the kind of music that hits in such a way so that when it finished we couldn’t help but restart from the beginning to gain more experiences and soak […]

Cairo Knife Fight Unveil The Colossus (Album Review)

Is there a more appropriately titled album for Cairo Knife Fights first full length than The Colossus? It’s a behemoth! A monolithic beast of grooves! Like the sexy rawkin’ love child of Eagles Of Death Metal and Queens of the Stone Age (Think that sweet space between the S/T and [...]

Gallows Evolve On Latest Album, Desolation Sounds

I don’t like Gallows. Never have. I have promos and Gahd knows I’ve tried but I never got into them for some reason. I have, however, been a fan of Alexisonfire since Watch Out! (But again still never got into Gallows even when Wade McNeil took over vocal duties). That’s [...]

There is something instantly likable about Sumo Cyco but I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it’s the ska/dancehall-infused metal they create that’s like a hybrid of No Doubt and Korn. Maybe it’s charismatic vocalist Sever’s distinct vocal style that at times soothes like kidneythieves’ Free Dominguez or Sneaker [...]

Untitled Metal Column: Volume 12 (High On Fire, Luminiferous)

Honestly, I don’t know why I’ve never fully immersed myself in the awesome that is High On Fire. I had a record once (2005’s Blessed Black Wings) but since I’ve only dabbled and been a casual fan. If you’re like me then prepare to slap yourself upside the head for [...]
