21 For ’21 Because Why Not?!? (RNRF Best Of 2021)

30 December 2021 By jesse 1 Comment

I always do like 50 different drafts for just the opening alone then end up with one stripped down thing like this at the end of it all because I just wanna get this ish out there to the masses. 2021 has been up’s and down’s in the world but a pretty solid year overall for music. So much so that I almost considered not ranking my massive list of 21 releases that did it for me in 2021. Almost. As always, thanks for liking and following and most importantly, thanks for reading!

Ministry Bring The Vitriol And Vigor On Enigmatic Industrial Triumph Moral Hygiene

28 September 2021 By jesse 1 Comment

Post-Trump and the world is still in chaos, overrun by a virus that’s seemingly never going away due to a continuing campaign of disinformation and morons in general perpetuating lies and ridiculousness. Sounds like the perfect time for Ministry to come out of hibernation, yeah? It may have been Trump who initially lit a brand new fire under Uncle Al’s ass but it seems like the ensuing daily deluge of dumpster fires has been the catalyst to one of the most interesting and innovative Ministry releases of the 21st Century.

The Rock And Roll Fables 2021 Preview: 13 Slabs Of New Music SURE To Make Your New Year More Tolerable

15 January 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

And now we begin our downward trend…meaning, of course, that we’ve hit that point where matching up the number of albums on the list with the year we’re heading toward is kind of ridiculous so we’re going to switch with lucky number 13 for the time being.

Lamb Of God Unleash Self-Titled Slab Of Monumental Heaviness With Eighth Full-Length

16 June 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

There’s no doubt about it: The shoes that strike the pedals behind the kit of Chris Adler’s former post are some pretty big ones to fill. Lucky for Lamb Of God (And for us, the fans), the man chosen to fill those shoes is none other than Art Cruz. In recent years, Cruz has lent his considerable talents and unique style bringing the heft and the groove to legends like Prong and Ministry and after a baptism by fire with his new brothers in Lamb Of God following a live run opening for Slayer on their Final Campaign tour, Cruz makes his recorded presence known on Lamb Of God, the quintet’s eighth full-length.
