Iconoclast
It is no small event when a SYMPHONY X album is released. Saying otherwise would be like arguing that the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the March 11, 2011 earthquake/tsunami in Japan were merely asterisks in the big book of world disasters. Just like the time between 2002's "The Odyssey" and 2007's...June 29, 2011

Though originality is no longer the focal point, "Macabre Eternal" is a phenomenal alb...June 21, 2011

The Discovery
Go ahead and toss me in with what appears to be a tiny minority of journalists that don't think BORN OF OSIRIS' "The Discovery" is the greatest thing since moist towelettes. Given the obvious jump in compositional creativity, which I will readily admit approaches the awe-inspiring at times, it may b...June 20, 2011

Burn Again
Chicago's SUPERCHRIST is one those great America bands about which some of you may not be aware, but damn well should. Every album in the catalogue is first rate, frill-free heavy metal rock 'n roll that takes the best of Bronze-era MOTÖRHEAD, a little punk rock in the directness, and then fuels the...June 20, 2011

"Worthless" is an album that must be reviewed, based on band name alone; well, maybe not "must", but it does tend to pique one's interest. As it turns out, I'd heard the name bandied about along with descriptors like "powerviolence" and "grindcore," which together do in fact serve as an apt summatio...June 20, 2011

Yup, this is thrash metal played with old school pride and electric spirit. Originally self-released in 2009, Stormspell Records reissued...June 20, 2011
