Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:56:00 GMT

Out of all of the new music I've heard and collected this year, I somehow managed to whittle my favorites down to 23 albums, which for one reason or another sent chills down my spine as I listened, or kept coming back to haunt my inner ear. This yea

Recent Album Reviews

Sun, 24 May 2009 20:50:00 GMT

I've been meaning to write up some album reviews for the ever growing mass of recently acquired music this year, and late last year but I always find writing reviews hard - hard to give enough justice to the music, hard to fully articulate any though

Carcass - Live at the Transmission Room

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 18:57:00 GMT

What can I say about Carcass that a series of videos can say better? For those who've never heard them - it's time to wake up and smell the carcass:

Keep On Galloping by Korpiklaani

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:01:00 GMT

I thought Eluveitie had a great video for Inis Mona, but Korpiklaani continue to rule the finish folk metal scene for me: music, music, video

Mercenary - Isolation

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:20:00 GMT

From Denmark's Mercenary comes the single Isolation off the album "Architect of Lies": I'm loving how Youtube is now giving me the option to watch hi-res quality videos. If only I could work out how to embed those hi-res ones. music, vide

King Diamond - Give Me Your Soul Please

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 10:44:00 GMT

I may not agree with the King's religious position - but I certainly love his music and story telling, and the latest opus "Give Me Your Soul... Please" makes no exception - melodic metal with souring solos and a solid driving rhythm section:

Eluveitie - Inis Mona

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:09:00 GMT

Now this is trippy - Inis Mona is the first single off the upcoming album "Slania" from the band Eluveitie - melodic folk metal with bagpipes, a theremin (I think?), and even a flute solo! I need to find out more about this band...

Set the world on fire

Sat, 12 Jan 2008 09:36:00 GMT

Symphony X just released the second video from their latest opus "Paradise Lost" for the song "Set the world on fire": The video kicks arse, a dark mystical piece reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - a perfect match for the song.

Revolution Begins

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:18:00 GMT

New video from Arch Enemy - Revolution Begins. Chris Amott does not disappoint on this album with solos ripping and shredding all over the place, and I must say - Angela is one hot, but scary chick...

The new album "Storm the Gates of Hell" from Demon Hunter comes out on November 6 and is available for streaming over on their MySpace page, if the new single "Fading Away" (below) is anything to go by this album is going to kick arse: Can

I see the Becoming the Archetype album just came out and is available on the iTunes store *click*. Ahh - this buying new CDs at 1am in the morning could be addictive... Check out this video of the new song Endure from the bands myspace page.

Severe Emotional Distress

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:28:00 GMT

"Severe Emotional Distress" by Into Eternity is easily one of my favorite songs of the moment right now. The track comes off the recent "A Scattering of Ashes" CD and features one of the most messed up progressive arrangements I've heard in ages: a

Slayer at the St James

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 09:33:00 GMT

Just returned from seeing Slayer and Mastodon play the St James. Dave Lombardo is the bomb on the drums but Slayer still doesn't really do it for me - from both a lyrical ad musical standpoint. It was quite surreal, and somewhat disturbing for the

Deicide - At The Studio

Sat, 16 Dec 2006 09:27:00 GMT

Deicide are one of those bands I've been aware of for years, but never really got into - the music was ok (from what I've heard of the latest album the music is even better with Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla) but the lyrics were a major blocking point

My Dying Bride - Deeper Down Music Video

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 15:16:00 GMT

Via Metal Underground I see the new My Dying Bride video for Deeper Down - a track from the forthcoming album "A Line of Deathless Kings" has been posted to YouTube: Dark, melancholic, and heavy - just what the doctor ordered.

Deliverance - Weapons of our Warfare

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 17:45:00 GMT

After following a story on Blabbermouth about a one off reunited gig for the Up From The Ashes 2 festival I found the following video of Deliverance on YouTube: First off it was ripping all the Styper CDs to my iPod and now Deliverance - brin

Unexpect...

Tue, 25 Jul 2006 21:37:00 GMT

Oh. My. God... Somehow I came across the band Unexpect (myspace) - melodic, progressive, heavy, avant garde, violins, black metal, death metal, clean vocals, scathing death grunts and hisses, atmospheric moods, they have it all. This'll be one
