Kekal – The Habit of Fire – Review

June 1, 2007

From Indonesia, are experimental, conceptual, extreme, ambient, haunting, jazz-fusion prog, and other “the mainstream will never get this” descriptions.

The Toy Dolls – Treasured Tracks – Review

June 1, 2007

A live album. They smoke like The Vandals, and the singer has a Cockney accent that makes Johnny Rotten sound like an American suburban puke.

The Black Dahlia Murder – Nocturnal – Review

June 1, 2007

Part death metal roar, a bit of thrash spicing, and 666 parts black metal shriek, all full-on metal rampage.

Slapdash – Reciprocal – Review

June 1, 2007

Ten songs Billy Bragg might nod to and say “run with it, kid.”

Method of Destruction – Red White and Screwed – Review

June 1, 2007

M.O.D. without the humor is as monotone/hardcore as Pro-Pain, which is to say boring and unbearable. Billy Milano sounds like he needs to shit.

Metalocalypse – Dethklok – Review

June 1, 2007

I love Metalocalypse as much as any metalhead, but the animated soap opera of a gloriously dumb-ass metal band doesn’t make the actual songs any better.

Juliette and The Licks – Four On the Floor – Review

June 1, 2007

Some might whine that Juliette and The Licks is simply Stones strut with tits (they’re small, but they’re nice), their live show will leave you breathless.

Hurtlocker – Embrace The Fall – Review

June 1, 2007

Chicago’s Hurtlocker toiled in the metal underground for so long that their brand of thrash is dirtier, harder, and heavier than most.

Himsa – Summon In Thunder – Review

June 1, 2007

They started out hardcore on Revelation, went death metal on Prosthetic, and are now a might roar-machine on Century Media. Some rubs my metal belly just right.

Glenn Danzig – The Lost Tracks of Danzig – Review

June 1, 2007

26 tracks compiling all the “leftovers” that didn’t fit with the “theme” of a particular album. It stands up as dated Danzig material, which is all of it.
