Eldritch – Tasting The Tears – Review

February 17, 2014

Intriguing, moody power metal from Italy. Incredibly (for this genre), the singer doesn’t overplay it.

Def-Con-One – II – Review

February 7, 2014

Pure opening-act mediocrity from the UK. Def-Con-One is a throwback to scores of second stage Ozzfest bands from the late ’90s-early ’00s.

Fable Anniversary – Review

February 7, 2014

Fable Anniversary, an HD reworking of the 2004 action RPG, is released within a week of the latest Final Fantasy XIII. The two couldn’t be more different.

Behemoth – The Satanist – Review

February 3, 2014

Nergal has defeated leukemia and hosted a Polish version of The Voice, all while creating brutal death metal. It’s kind of hard not to root for the guy.

Dum Dum Girls – Lost Boys and Girls Club – Music Stream

January 30, 2014

My brother-in-law saw this band open up for Ben Gibbard, and his zero-word review was a lethargic shoulder shrug. Maybe they’ve improved with age? Maybe not.

Satan’s Wrath – Aeons of Satan’s Reign – Review

Satan’s Wrath – Die White Witch Die – Music Stream

January 29, 2014

Greece’s Satan’s Wrath is actually much closer to traditional heavy metal than it is to the storms of the antichrist.

Weekend Nachos – Still – Review

January 28, 2014

Chicago purveyors of grind titled their first album Punish and Destroy, and even though it’s now seven years later, their modus operandi hasn’t changed a bit.

Weekend Nachos – Satan Sucker – Music Stream

January 28, 2014

The 90 second “Satan Sucker” manages to cram in an unsettling intro, a freight train midsection, and a lurching, menacing outro before you can come up for air.

Dum Dum Girls – Too True – Review

January 27, 2014

My brother-in-law saw this band open up for Ben Gibbard, and his zero-word review was a lethargic shoulder shrug. Maybe they’ve improved with age? Maybe not.
