Saul Ascend To The Upper Echelons Of Heavy With Rise As Equals

22 October 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

Remember when Nu-Metal exploded and all these bands came out of the woodwork with these impressive anthems trying to hook new listeners for the long haul beyond the initial fad? Rise As Equals is like ALL of those songs collected in one place. And it’s freaking glorious.

Mark Morton Gets By With A Little Help From His Friends On Anesthetic

26 February 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

Listening to Mark Morton’s debut solo album is like listening to the greatest heavy music mixtape of all time. Not only is Anesthetic a coherent flow of genres but the mix of talent involved is a veritable who’s who across the spectrum as well. You have Nu-Metal luminaries (The late Chester Bennington, Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix), Hard Rock Icons (Buckcherry’s Josh Todd, Myles Kennedy), Thrash Metal Gods (Testament’s Chuck Billy) alongside Indie Rawkers (Oni’s Jake Oni), Living Legends (Mark Lanegan), and Singer/Songwriters (Naeemah Maddox) beautifully woven together through Morton’s musical tapestry.

Within Temptation Return With Fiery Resist

28 January 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

Within Temptation is another one of those bands that has been on my radar for some time and I get the general gist of what they’re all about but never properly dove in before. And like so many times previously documented in these pages, I truly effed up. Especially if previous efforts sounded anything like Resist, Within Temptation’s seventh opus.

23 August 2018 By jesse Leave a Comment

Holy jeebus, if Nonpoint is really celebrating 20 years as an entity then that means…I’m old?!?!

But I digress. [Read more…]

My Ticket Home Bring Familiarly Surreal Sounds To Truly unReal Third Album

20 September 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

What’s “Unreal” here is how effortlessly My Ticket Home seemingly capture the best parts of an entire genre and made it relevant again on their third full-length. It’s 2017. Nu-metal is dead. So what comes next? Some new nu-metal? Sure, why not! Or “puke rock” as the band themselves call it. [Read more…]

36 Crazyfists Return With A Furious Batch Of New Tunes On Lanterns

14 September 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

36 Crazyfists is an odd duck of a metal band. Always have been. They were emo before it was cool within the genre and lumped in with metalcore when it wasn’t. Hell, I even sold my copy of their Roadrunner Records debut because I didn’t give it a chance the first time around but feverishly sought out another copy after a chance hearing of a song or two from that album on a random compilation.

Killing Joke Unleash Pylon, Album Number Fifteen From The Legendary UK Outfit (Album Review)

14 October 2015 By jesse Leave a Comment

KJpylonBOSS2

Killing Joke is back. Again. Since the reformation of the original line up for 2010’s Absolute Dissent, Killing Joke has continued to impress, surprise, and grow stronger as a band which is a feat unto itself for any outfit together for almost 40 years. On Pylon, their sixteenth studio album, they complete the trilogy (With 2012’s MMXIII sandwiched in there) with perhaps their most masterfully executed album to date. [Read more…]

Turbowolf Impress On Sophomore Opus, Two Hands

22 May 2015 By jesse Leave a Comment

Two Hands, the latest from Turbowolf, is a fun fuckin’ record. Plain and simple. The second album from Turbowolf is sonically like The Sword meets CKY at times and doesn’t let the groove slip for a minute. Propelled by these masterfully structured fuzzed out riffs, beats to die for, and Chris Georgiadis’ unique yowl, Turbowolf epitomize all that could be great in rawk and/or roll. Two Hands will show you why. [Read more…]
