Aeon is here to deliver death metal fans into ecstasy. The sheer brutality that the band put to good use on this crisp and crushing release is overwhelming.
A crack of thunder opens, and then a bunch of demons roar and choirs sing and whammy bars cause Slayerized guitar screeches to warble and tremble and cackle.
Sounding like Bolt Thrower and Arch Enemy combined (except with more blastbeats than those two could ever muster), the crazy Canucks of Kataklysm are back.
Three tough ’50s-style chickies who look good in leather pants and leopard prints and crank out 12 tracks in 27 minutes of classic Ramones three-chord-punk.
The band’s from Indonesia and combine black, thrash, and melodic death metal with traditional galloping heavy metal in a way that, uh, ya just can’t summarize.
“Kick Some Ass,” (in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) rules. I like when bands make fun of shithead fans/bands, especially when the dipshits still don’t get it.
These Detroit punkers always had the tunes and the rage to go beyond the upbeat deathtrap. This is deceptively octane-fueled radio punkpop, borderline rock.
