It has been quite a while since As I Lay Dying last stirred up a sizable commotion. A bunch of years removed from their “An Ocean Between Us,” America’s preeminent Christian metalcore (meaning the music is tough, but it’s got a positive message—like, yuck?) champions are back to secure their chokehold on a genre they [...]
Blame it on the water (or the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol; excuse us, Jamie Foxx), but whatever (metal) music we hear from Sweden usually turns out pretty darn good 80% of the time. That’s 80% cos one has gotta admit, the remaining 20% belongs to the occasional crap band stinking up our listening pleasure—no names though.
The material at [...]
Now Overkill may be an elderly bunch, but their music is far from geriatric. While their past efforts saw the band slow down a bit (namely on 2007’s by-the-numbers “Immortalis”), this 2010 the wrecking crew have upped their game to stay competitive in a genre that’s gotten a new lease on life these past coupla [...]
Pussy. Wiener Blut. Backstabu. Song titles that prove Rammstein are quite the weird bunch, which means it’s all the better they sing in their mother tongue and spare humanity a whole lotta wincing from awkward lyrics. For their, uh, sixth album titled “Liebe Ist Fuer Alle Da,” the former citizens of the German Democratic Republic [...]
Lest they are totally forgotten two years since the release of their misunderstood major label debut (2007’s “Threads of Life”), Shadows Fall return with a monster of an album to exact retribution on those who let them down the last time. Yet the ride begins on a soft note, as the gentle acoustic intro “The [...]
Grabbing their name from a lyric inspired by modern rockers Radiohead, the Culver City based act Backdrifter, from sunny California, formed in late 2008 and since then has not looked back. Steve Watkins and Nate Waxler formally of “The Hypothetical Band” had begun to search for what they knew would conclude their brand new formation [...]
When comes to the “break-down” of an album lyrically you get thrown a series of emotions, in this case we deal with “life, death, solitude, hope, faith and mental health” according to guitarist Pekko Mantzin of metal rock alternative The Jade straight out of Finland.
This mighty foursome have brought together some re-composed tunes that have [...]
Founding member Scott Gross of metal rock act From Autumn To Ashes didn’t expect himself to be standing upon this very Earth. Scott explains “It was September 13th 2007 and I was on I-95 in New Jersey. The rental car I had broke down and I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I [...]
When you get thrown an act with a name like Strike Anywhere what should you expect to come pouring out of their musical fingertips? Well something sounding exactly like Rise Against, Strung Out, No Trigger, and Smoke or Fire that’s what. It’s been 3 years since “Dead FM,” and now it’s the time for a [...]
Since their birth in 2004, the band known as Gwen Stacy, has formatted themselves to being a hardcore Christian punk band with solid grounds to creating their music masterpieces. Spreading everything out year after year pretty much, for instance “….I Believe in Humility,” (2005) one year later a collection of Demos was unleashed in 06 [...]
