A raw brand of metal butchery. The band couples Eyehategod’s urgent brutality with intricate, catchy guitars, especially on “Bastard Son” and “Throne of Lies.”
They have the decency to keep it under an hour. If you’re not already on board with Mushroomhead’s slightly-above-bad nü-metal, nothing here will convince you.
A video of the band’s over-the-top concert and behind-the-scenes behavior was a welcome arrival in 2001, the original Hell on Earth. We didn’t need the sequels.
If you’re into animal torture, human carnage, and dozens of horror movie death clips sandwiched between stoner/doom/unintelligible metal videos, you’re in luck.
Brutally boring backstage banality. The four music videos say it best: Catchy New Order cover, two good pop-metal originals, descent into bland nü metal trash.
Though considerably less hyped than the reunion of “classic” Anthrax, the original line-up of Testament tore through this past summer much more convincingly.
The songs are slower, more textual, and less cartoonish in their execution, but definitely traceable to the core interests of Glenn Danzig’s brutish brooding.
A scattershot of videos from various punk, indie, hardcore, and metal bands. I’m sure the title was tongue in cheek, but thankfully this thing has a low price.
