Top Albums of 2009

2009-12-22T22:56:00Z

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

2009-05-24T20:50:00Z

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

2008-10-17T18:57:00Z

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

2008-04-13T17:01:00Z

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

2008-03-21T12:20:00Z

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

2008-03-02T10:44:00Z

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

2008-02-03T21:09:00Z

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

2008-01-12T09:36:00Z

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.

2007-11-23T14:43:00Z

It would seem the end of 2007 is shaping up to be a great time for new music to come out - check out this great new track "Atomic Firelight" from Norwegian band Pagan's Mind:Check out this video: PAGAN'S MIND - ATOMIC FIRELIGHT Add to My Profile |

Revolution Begins

2007-11-09T15:18:00Z

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...

Storm the Gates of Hell

2007-11-03T15:37:00Z

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

Becoming The Archetype - The Physics of Fire

2007-05-11T00:54:00Z

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

2007-04-25T17:28:00Z

"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

2007-04-22T09:33:00Z

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

2006-12-16T09:27:00Z

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

2006-09-26T15:16:00Z

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

2006-09-05T17:45:00Z

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...

2006-07-25T21:37:00Z

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
