Black Label Society Deliver Doorbuster Deals This Black Friday With The Delightfully Diabolical Doom Crew Inc.

16 November 2021 By jesse 1 Comment

More akin to a barrel-aged whiskey than a fine wine, Black Label Society has only gotten better and better over the years. The recent outings especially from Zakk Wylde and his motley crew of Rawkers have been some their best to date in our humble opinion and with their eleventh record, Doom Crew Inc., fast approaching BLS look to have outdone themselves again.

Mikey Rukus Intends To Bring The Rukus To The Next Generation Of Wrestling And Metal Fans On Massive New Record

14 January 2021 By jesse 1 Comment

You may not know the name (yet) but if you’re a fan of wrestling’s hottest promotion right now, then chances are you already know the sounds of AEW’s Music Production Coordinator. Do you find yourself headbanging to Thunder Rosa’s primal Metal march? Bouncing when Eddie Kingston enters the ring for another fire promo? Dancing uncontrollably when The Hybrid 2 strut through those tunnels? Smiling for no reason whatsoever when Best Friends accompanied by Orange Cassidy make their grand entrance? Then you already know Mikey Rukus.

Lemmy-Inspired Electric Messiah Sees High On Fire Invigorated, Ready To Crush Skulls On The Road

2 October 2018 By jesse Leave a Comment

An album that’s built around a dream that High On Fire founder Matt Pike had about Lemmy? Sign. Us. Up. But seriously, kids, even without the legend worship, a new High On Fire record is always cause to celebrate. Especially as the band enter their twentieth year with an album that’s every bit as vital and hungry as when they first emerged onto the heavy music scene. [Read more…]

Black Label Society Celebrates Ten Full-Lengths With Triumphant Grimmest Hits

21 December 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

I’ll admit it: I’ve never been a Black Label Society fan. That said, I like Zakk Wylde’s work with Ozzy Osbourne, loved his Pride & Glory project which eventually morphed into BLS, and his work as Zakk Sabbath has blown me away every time I get a chance to listen or witness in person. [Read more…]

Earth Caller Start 2018 With A Defiant Scream On Crystal Death

7 December 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

Starting off 2018 as loud as possible, Earth Caller return with a vicious slab of metal that totally encapsulates the old school NYHC sound that made bands like Biohazard and Life Of Agony stand out in the mid-’90’s. On Crystal Death, the Melbourne metallers channel hardcore greats by concocting something to honor that sound yet take it light years ahead. [Read more…]

Rex Brown Shows Off Songwriting, Singing, and Soul With Smoke On This…

19 July 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

Pantera was the first concert I ever attended and at said show in April of 1994 vocalist Phil Anselmo, still high on the fact that Far Beyond Driven had crushed expectations to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts, declared that if Metallica weren’t going to make solid heavy metal records anymore then Pantera were taking their crown and sitting on the throne from now on. Using a lot of cuss words. [Read more…]

CKY Rise From The Ashes On Aptly Titled The Phoenix

17 May 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

CKY holds a special place in my heart. Like many an early ’00’s band, CKY was introduced to me during the beginnings my record store retail dayz. I’d hear certain albums incessantly and either have them forever seep into my musical consciousness (Like At The Drive-In and Cave In) or have them cause the involuntary act of throwing up in my mouth (So much so that I can’t be brought to mention those bands here). CKY was, luckily, in the former category. [Read more…]

Crowbar will always hold a special place in my heart. While Pantera is technically the first live “show” I ever attended it was Crowbar, who opened, who will always be the first band I ever saw live. [Read more…]

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 missing out on High On Fire’s brilliance for so long especially after you sink your earholes into their seventh full-length, Luminiferous.
