Kreator – Hordes of Chaos – Review

January 1, 2009

German thrash legends Kreator claw back to their roots with Hordes of Chaos, a live in the studio recording. A thrashing, speedmetal can of whoop-ass.

Evergrey – Torn – Review

January 1, 2009

Keys massaged in properly, down-tuning mixed with bright major chord stadium rock, and melancholic melodies glowing from the whole impressive machine.

Blood Ceremony – Review

January 1, 2009

Dreamy, dirt-gaze doom with female vocals, ethereal flute, and spooky organ. Blood Ceremony owe a dept to black & white horror movies from the pre-rock era.

Bionic – Black Blood – Review

January 1, 2009

Tense, wound-up, rocked-up gunk to draw in anyone with the a taste for the Who/Yardbirds ’60s Mod nerve through the MC5/Stooges/Simply Saucer/Devo ’70s.

Burden Brothers – Mercy – Review

December 1, 2008

Todd Lewis sang for the Toadies. Taz is the former skin-beater for the good Revered Horton Heat. Mercy is a bit more subdued than I’m used to.
