Artimus Pyledriver – Review

August 25, 2006

Man, does this album roar. Think of Speedealer or Nashville Pussy or COC crossed with Entombed or Cathedral (work with me), and you’re on your way to deaf.

Voivod – Katorz – Review

August 25, 2006

Katorz is jumpy, nervy, punchy, and organic, like an early Voivod album, the guys finding a punk rock ethic that inspires to action.

Deadboy and the Elephantmen – We Are Night Sky – Interview

August 18, 2006

An interview with vocalist Dax Riggs

Pantera – 3 Vulgar Videos From Hell – Review

July 21, 2006

Pantera’s three VHS videos in one place. A lot of bud, booze, the Hulk, Moscow, paper mache pot, cuts and bruises, and small appliances smashed to bits.

Dimevision – Vol 1 – That’s The Fun I Have – Review

July 21, 2006

Dimebag is seen ripping it up circa ’84 and ’85, right up until his Damageplan days. There’s lots of fireworks, most notably used to wake various poor loafers.

Twin Method – The Volume of Self – Review

July 14, 2006

It takes guts ‘n’ guile to make textbook nü metal these days, but that’s what this irritating Liverpool band is up to.

Rebel Meets Rebel – Review

July 14, 2006

Never knew much about David Allan Coe but the booze ‘n’ dope legends. Toothless, drunk country lyrics everywhere, while 3/4th of Pantera go all Jackyl on us.

Strapping Young Lad – The New Black – Review

July 7, 2006

Not as he-man thrash as Alien or SYL, more of a rule-breaker, which is what made City such a proud (and arguably unlistenable) creative moment in the extreme.

Cheap Trick – Rockford – Review

July 7, 2006

Two world-beating choruses lead the charge, housed within “Perfect Stranger” and “Dream the Night Away.” Both should be smashes.

Ministry – Rio Grande Blood – Review

June 23, 2006

Striking cover, great title, summing up the lyrical venom Jourgensen is hurling at the Bush administration, o’er music that is fast, thrashy, and abrasive.
