Six Feet Under – Commandment – Review

May 11, 2007

Chris Barnes is back, contemplating death, and coming up with quaint haiku origamis, thorns concealed, in which to place his gruesome thoughts.

Middian – Age Eternal – Review

April 20, 2007

Mike Scheidt of YOB. The songs are long and ever-changing, Mike sings through the chorus pedal, and crushing guitar riffs abound at nearly every moment.

Amon Amarth – With Oden On Our Side – Review

March 30, 2007

Their sixth formal full-length offers more of the same authentic Nordic metal. The guitar work balances simplicity with hook-laden grandiosity.

The Network – This is Your Pig’s Portrait – Review

March 18, 2007

Kinda goregrind in humor/feel, has non-tinny spazz, and plenty of howl and noise. Not since Dani Filth has such a “what the??” voice worked in brutal metal.

Since The Flood – No Compromise – Review

March 18, 2007

Bare-knuckle hardcore, produced with metal roar by Jim Siegel (Dropkicks and their knock-offs), last release on Unearth’s Trevor Phipps’ Ironclad Recordings.

The Red Chord – Prey For Eyes – Review

March 1, 2007

Dense in production, complex in arrangement, thick and churning. “Death-Grind Powerhouse” is an apt description, as much as I dislike lifting from bios.

Unearth – III: In the Eyes of Fire – Interview

February 16, 2007

An interview with singer Trevor Phipps

Goatwhore – A Haunting Curse – Review

January 5, 2007

Soilent Green vocalist Ben Falgoust, ex-Acid Bath/Crowbar guitarist Sammy Duet, bassist Nathan Bergeron, and drummer Zack Simmons play blackened death metal.

Architect – All Is Not Lost – Review

January 1, 2007

These Architects build a mighty headache. A nice, brutal orgy of hardcore knuckledrag and pretentious splatter/noise art, mixed all brutal metal mean.

This Ending – Inside the Machine – Review

January 1, 2007

New band, no bio, definitely Swedish or thereabouts, obsessed with technology/humanity like Fear Factory, but more death metal.
