VOYAGER: MEANING OF I VIDEO

Much like Voyager themselves, this new video is slightly melodramatic but ultimately loaded with enough substance to be really original and satisfying. From the synth-laden breakdowns to the lead guitar licks, they did well in picking the title track from … Read the rest of this entry →

A QUICK DIGEST OF AFFORDABLE (OR FREE) PROG STUFF: THE RESTITUTION, SIRENS, LEKA

This is the part where I get all gooey and shower my readership with nausiating compliments. Like I’ve always said, though people send us a ton of stuff, I receive surprisingly few bad records. I may sometimes let something slip … Read the rest of this entry →

CAULK RAWKING VIDEOS FROM MAMMOTH MAMMOTH, ALPHA TIGER, GRAVEYARD

These three videos are awesome/hilarious and the one undercurrent running through them is a vaguely retro aesthetic. In the case of Alpha Tiger it’s actually not the least bit vague or even in the same universe as subtlety but that … Read the rest of this entry →

RIGHTEOUS VIDEOS FROM BLOODSHOT DAWN, PIG DESTROYER

As I’ve mentioned Bloodshot Dawn‘s shred-happy take on massive semi-melodic death metal is all kinds of awesome. This studio video caters to the musician nerds out there and displays the band’s precision, particularly in the field of face-melting leads. Far … Read the rest of this entry →

ECLECTIC NON-METAL ALBUMS THAT ARE BIG FOR ME RIGHT NOW PART 2

Last week I penned a self-serving piece of babble and thus began the surreal decent into my non-metal, non-rock musical leanings. Those who read it, which from the feedback I’ve received is up to 12 people including my mom, should now be … Read the rest of this entry →

GO SEE ALLEGAEON, BUY MODERN REBELLION MERCH

No disrespect but I don’t respect most of this line-up. Of course, I’m also butthurt that Allegaeon hasn’t come through Seattle since releasing their absolutely killer second full-length. Still, Job For A Cowboy, like a d-league NBA prospect, have been steadily … Read the rest of this entry →

WHAT DO YOU CALL FIVE MELODIC ROCKING DADS? TEN

Despite being what your dad’s band would sound like if he found your Blind Guardian records, melodic rockers Ten are actually kind of cool. Watching this new video for “Gunrunning” and I can’t stop tapping my foot. Srsly, I’m getting carpal … Read the rest of this entry →

STREAM/BUY DIS MIDNIGHT REISSUE IMMEDIATELY

The more hooky Superchrist may get the nod over this band for my personal playlists but you just can’t beat Midnight when it’s time to get dirty with some blackened heavy metal. I won’t bore you with a long-winded musing … Read the rest of this entry →

THRASH HEAD PRESENTS: A GALLERY OF ROGUES VOL II

A few months ago our brahs over at Thrash Head came out with a killer compilation called A Gallery of Rogues, a title so cool that it derailed my confidence completely in putting out a compilation of our own. I … Read the rest of this entry →

HOLY GRAIL’S NEW B-SIDE BLOWS SINGLE AWAY, TOUR WITH …HELLYEAH?

Holy Grail is one of those bands so wide in their appeal that the chorus of praises for their last full-length Crisis in Utopia could be heard from dingy music clubs to the halls of the usually inept Revolver Magazine. … Read the rest of this entry →

TUESDAY TIME MACHINE: GUN – GUN (1968)

Despite the extensive lip service that’s been paid to them in recent years, Blue Cheer was just a boorish experiment in the proto-heavy metal of the 1960s. Sure, they were the heaviest band of the black and white era but as the hot-button squabling … Read the rest of this entry →

HEY YA’LL LISTEN TO HOD

The bestiality of black/death metal is a statement in itself. It tells the world that beer-chugging blasphemous chaos wastes need not waste its time with even the most basic of subgenres. Whether it’s of the messy war metal variety or a more … Read the rest of this entry →

BREAKING: MESHUGGAH HAS WEIRD CAMERAS AND ABNORMALITY IS TAY BRUTES

Ok so, this may not be new exactly but I was pretty blown away by how good Abnormality is when I started spinning Contaminating the Hive Mind and was pretty surprised to find the vocalist to be a woman. Not only … Read the rest of this entry →

FISTULA: NORTHERN AGGRESSION

Closing your eyes, you can see it. Weaving your way through the grimey sidestreets of the American midwest, steam rising from the sewers, you hear the bludgeoning noise from a nearby DIY venue, the sounds stretching its uninsulated walls. You follow the caustic echos to a … Read the rest of this entry →

FREE SONG AND A NEW SEZIURE-INDUCING LYRIC VIDEO FROM THE SWORD

Thankfully, I’ve mastered typing while convusling on the floor. This lyric video was directed by PR Brown, the same guy who did the tubular lyrics video for the new album’s title track. To be honest, it doesn’t seem like the … Read the rest of this entry →

HARDCORE REVIEWS BY METAL DUDES: NAILS EDITION

Sometimes a band crushes so hard in the span of 90 seconds that you feel like someone who’s really into The Beatles that just heard The Beatles for the first time. Guess what band I’m talking about… yeah, it’s Nails. … Read the rest of this entry →
