SHUDUV WATCHED EARLIER: SYLOSIS SONG/VIDEO IS WAY COOL
I am personally guilty of overlooking this band on the regular. It’s nothing personal, just that these “modern” interpretations of thrash fall a little flat in terms of umph factor. However, dem fills and dem sweeps have me reconsidering my … Read the rest of this entry →
SOUND SAMPLES FROM THE NEW INGVAY, OY VEY!
Hey, at least it LOOKS like it was made in the 80s. Perhaps it’ll sound like it too… I’ll warn you; the vocals sound atrociously overproduced. Other than that it’s just another Yngwie album. It’s hard to be mad when … 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 →

THIS WEEK IN FUCKYEAHJEFFLOOMIS: BROING DOWN WITH KEITH MERROW
Seems Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow, of Portland based death metal bros Demisery, decided to get together to bro and jam on a tune, itself invariably called “bro”, and post the thing on BroTube. The result of the riffage and shreddage … Read the rest of this entry →
TUESDAY TIME MACHINE: ANNIHILATOR – NEVER, NEVERLAND (1990)
In the world of often overlooked thrash bands, it would infair to file Canada’s Annihilator under the “unlucky” tab. Aside from the band’s ever revolving lineup and allegedly mercurial personality dynamics, they simply fell short in the vocal department far … Read the rest of this entry →
NEW TUNNAGE FROM ABIOTIC, WANK WITH A PURPOSE
This newly minted Metal Blade signee gets better with every listen. Truthfully, for one reason or another, I find heavy hitters like The Faceless and Spawn of Possession underwhelming. At a time when whirlwind technicality of the tech death movement … Read the rest of this entry →
TUESDAY TIME MACHINE: KING DIAMOND – ABIGAIL (1987)
It’s hard to believe that something as seminal as Abigail is now 25 years old. After the 1985 breakup of Mercyful Fate, the King founded this solo project to pour his devious soul into. It may often seem that our … Read the rest of this entry →

Vext: The Birth of Mainstream Shred?
My queue has more progressive leaning stuff than I know what to do with but I’ll be damned if that Angel Vivaldi sure doesn’t rip up the axe. As soon as I heard he was involved along with former member … Read the rest of this entry →
Cartoon Theory Remix Album, Almost Free
It seems like only yesterday that I received an email from French mult-instrumentalist Maxime Lathière about his Asian and cartoon inspired ambidjent project Cartoon Theory. From the artwork, you would expect something silly but the ambient, progressive music contained therein … Read the rest of this entry →
Tuesday Time Machine: Yngwie Malmsteen – Trilogy (1986)
Yngwie J Malmsteen is the epitome of rock n’ roll peacockery. I mean look at this goddamn album cover. I could end this post right here with how many words that conveys. Thankfully I came to terms with his douchery … Read the rest of this entry →
Jeff Loomis: Plains of Oblivion
