DevilDriver Deliver The Heavy Groove Metal Goods On Dealing With Demons I

29 September 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

Let’s be honest: This is probably the most important DevilDriver record since their debut dropped back in 2002. Luckily, DevilDriver has both the experience and the chops almost 20 years into their career that not only maintains and sustains but also still entertains the hell out of listeners with a new record that sounds like that band once dubbed Deathride who were furiously fighting to further themselves from a certain Spookycore outfit.

HINAYANA Go Grand On Majestic Metal Monster Death Of The Cosmic

13 August 2020 By jesse 1 Comment

Pressing play on any number of music that crosses my digital desk is, to be blunt, a crap shoot which presents just as many risks (To my ears) as it does rewards (Again, to my ears). Which brings us to Austin, Texas’ Hinayana who deliver humongous aural rewards (To my ears AND yours) when it comes to their upcoming EP, Death Of The Cosmic.

Dee Snider Unleashes Incendiary Live Collection With For The Love Of Metal Live

24 July 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

In an age where there ain’t nobody going to a concert anytime soon (In the States at least), it’s refreshing to live vicariously through past performances especially when it comes from such a legendary artist like the almighty Dee Snider. Two years after the former Twisted Sister vocalist’s furious return to all things METAL on the aptly titled studio effort For The Love Of Metal (Produced by Jamey Jasta and reviewed by us which you can read all about here), Snider is back with an audio and visual collection of live performances across the world in support of that record pieced together like one seamless performance featuring new bangers, old staples, and even a surprise or two.

Dark Sarah Take A Twisted Fairy Tale-Inspired Journey With Grim

15 July 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

There’s no artist quite like Dark Sarah traversing the Heavy music landscape today. On Grim, their fourth full-length, the Finnish quintet take their brand of Symphonic Metal, mash it with The Birthday Massacre-style Gothic Electro, Within Temptation’s grand presentation, and the twisted bits from Oingo Boingo or main man Danny Elfman’s cinematic score work to create an unholy story that’s as unique as it is utterly irresistible.

Mushroomhead Offer Up A Wonderful Life On Wonderfully Constructed Throwback Metal Masterpiece

16 June 2020 By jesse 2 Comments

The appeal of Mushroomhead has always eluded me. They came into prosperity and notoriety around the time that Slipknot also began to thrive and, while I wasn’t actively choosing a side, I found myself aligning with the more complex and intense of the two masked outfits. What I missed out on then (But am making up for now!) was a different kind of complex, a different kind of intense and a whole lotta missed awesome.

Life Of Agony Revisit Legendary Debut And Create Equally Legendary Follow Up With The Sound Of Scars

4 October 2019 By jesse 1 Comment

Life Of Agony putting out new music is cause for celebration. Life Of Agony putting out new music that’s a continuation of the story from River Runs Red, though? That’s cause for taking the whole week off to commemorate the occasion and just rawk the fuck out.

Scooter Ward: A Rock And Roll Fables Conversation

13 September 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

“You gotta play it with your heart, you got to feel the song.”

Our interview with Cold mastermind Scooter Ward was conducted on Layne Staley’s birthday and clocked in at exactly 13:13. If that doesn’t scream “SERENDIPITY” then I don’t know what does.

But I digress.

3 September 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

“Love” and “Family” were two words that were thrown around a lot during Cold’s set and it was a great sense of love and family that was felt by the packed house Friday night at the Stafford Palace Theater in Connecticut when the quintet made a triumphant return to the stage on the second night of their current “Broken Human” tour.
