Children of Bodom – Trashed, Lost and Strung Out – Review

This is what an EP should be: Short, sweet, and incredibly kick-ass. The new songs on this EP showcase a maturation of their evolving melodic death metal.

Brand New Sin – Recipe For Disaster – Review

Polish black metal. Chugging guitar riffs, lots of Arabic-sounding lead lines, really mushy cookie monster vocals, but the drummer! Hot damn!

The Haunted – rEVOLVEr – Review

An interview with singer Brian Fair

Borknagar – Epic – Review

April 4, 2005
