Former Dark Angel guitarist Jim Durkin with the aid of two cohorts, bassist Charlie Silva and drummer Al Mendez. Sadly, an average thrash/death metal outfit.
Long, mostly slow-moving (good for over-dramatic sex after a bottle of Nyquil), deep-voiced male Goth with Gitane DeMone adding vocals to every other song.
A four-piece from Poland that sounds like (and worships) fellow countrymen Vader, is the most furiously technical brutal bands I’ve heard in a long-ass time.
A very brutal, enjoyable death metal album, one I’ll play again and again, but it’s not the most mind-boggling one you’ll find if you look more closely.
This somewhat ignored act are back with a tight, taught, grinding record of tuneful Gothic metal. The grooves are large, the guitars pounding each track home.
Sick Of It All bassist Craig Setari on vocals, Good Riddance vocalist Russ Rankin on bass, Good Riddance bassist Chuck Platt on guitar. Pre-’82 hardcore/punk.
The man with a past that’s most committed to, married to, and having his way with, all the rules of power metal practiced by those vacant of such a past.
