Old Man’s Child – Vermin – Review

March 3, 2006

Given his Dimmu-ship as well as a multitude of Old Man’s Children, somehow the reticent black star rising finds time to boil and toil another swirling brew.

Nevermore – This Godless Endeavor – Review

March 3, 2006

A new level of maturity. There’s a cohesion here, a rounding of the sharp prog edges into a massive and moving, mostly mid-paced and slow-end-of-fast thrash.

Nevermore – This Godless Endeavor – Interview

January 13, 2006

An interview with guitarist Jeff Loomis

Manntis – Sleep in Your Grave – Review

December 9, 2005

Breakdown chaos, thundering rampages, and dense thrash with hints of Swedish melodic death, but no dueling solos to be found.

God Forbid – IV: Constitution of Treason – Review

November 11, 2005

Some of the best, most guitar-smoked records of the metalcore revolution. Scintillating but captivatingly doomy twin leads, quick-picked riffs.

Despised Icon – The Healing Process – Review

November 11, 2005

Their second full-length effort unleashes a maelstrom of masterful riffs and ballistic rhythms. This Canadian sextet let loose nine insanely cacophonic bursts.

Arch Enemy – Doomsday Machine – Review

November 11, 2005

It’s Angela who steals the show. Her muted and processed vocals on AoR are replaced with a ravenous, starving beast raping the microphone for all its worth.

Napalm Death – The Code Is Red… Long Live the Code – Review

October 21, 2005

Infamous for their sickening breakdowns, and the mosh parts are all over The Code Is Red… They’ve got a more late-’80s NYHC, Agnostic Front feel to ’em.

Sentenced – The Funeral Album – Review

June 13, 2005

The Funeral Album is their last. The band’s hoary, bed-headed dirty rock sound is thankfully intact on “just another amusing Sentenced album.”

Mercenary – 11 Dreams – Review

June 13, 2005

Filled with majesty and sorrow, 11 Dreams displays a depth and variety rarely seen today. Like Opeth and Into Eternity, Mercenary eschew conventional genres.
