Opeth – Ghost Reveries – Review

November 18, 2005

Ghost Reveries might be the most complicated of a formidable lot, the album marking the best integration of the Damnation and Deliverance polarities.

Obituary – Frozen In Time – Review

November 18, 2005

Frozen ranks up there, far surpassing Back From the Dead. Stomp, stomp Floridian death metal is the order of the day. Breakdowns and groove plenty.

The Cave Soundtrack – Review

November 4, 2005

Like the Headbanger’s Ball series (also assisted by Roadrunner), you pick your faves, and know who’s a fashion band and who deserve every word of praise.

Devildriver – The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand – Review

May 26, 2005

Dez has always had a distinct roar, from Coal Chamber to now. If you’ve heard his voice, it doesn’t matter what cover band he’s fronting, you know it’s him.

The Agony Scene – The Darkest Red – Review

March 28, 2005

I have their self-titled release memorized. This one leaves me a bit cold. The singer sings more, and his clean vocals were the weakest part of the last one.

Still Remains – Of Love and Lunacy – Review

March 28, 2005

Detroit take on European metal like Soilwork, In Flames, et all. Not hugely memorable guitarwork, hardcore roar and harmonied clean vocals, and keyboard.

Slipknot – Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) – Review

November 15, 2004

Patented heart-busting punk rock nü metal death, but there are choruses, melodic vocals, very musical touches, many more than on previous albums.

Killswitch Engage – The End of Heartache – Review

October 4, 2004

Rich with headbanging riffs, an excellent thrash frontman, gorgeous production by guitarist Adam Dutkiewitcz, Andy Sneap mixes. The clean-sung passages: Gay.
