Majestic
When Kai Hansen left HELLOWEEN way back when, he took a large portion of that band's eccentricity with him, put to great use in GAMMA RAY. The band's core has always been the European style of power metal that Hansen helped found, but GAMMA RAY has always been willing to indulge a gloriously ludicro...September 12, 2005

Sunless Days
On BESEECH's fifth album, "Sunless Days", melancholic moments resulting from the darkness that surrounds are short-lived thanks to an emphasis on the tuneful. Sure, the gothic presence is significant and a chill is always in the air, but it's the melodies of songs like "Innerlane", "The Outpost", an...August 21, 2005

Dark Ages
It's been a while since I dove headfirst into a SOULFLY album. After the self-titled debut and "Primitive", I stopped paying attention and missed out on "3" and "Prophecy". I half-expected album number five to be a watered down, more commercially oriented, "nu" type of album. To say I was "shocked"...August 15, 2005

Hazardous Mutation
It sounds to me like four young dudes got into their older brothers' record collections and discovered the raucous music of crossover bands like D.R.I. and full-on thrashers like EXODUS and NUCLEAR ASSAULT, then decided to take matters into their own hands. "Hazardous Mutation", by Richmond, Virgini...August 15, 2005

The Fury of Our Maker's Hand
COAL CHAMBER was one of those bands that just absolutely hit me the wrong way. Their overhyped simpleton nu-metal fuckery used to just piss me off, more so than almost any band this side of SIX FEET UNDER. So when frontman Dez Fafara killed that band off and released DEVILDRIVER's debut last year, m...July 7, 2005

Sour Times
File under "what the fuck?" and show respect to one of the most truly original bands to ever rise from the murk of the metal underground. CONFESSOR's lone EP and full-length album perplexed everyone in 1990 with their anachronistic doom, ludicrous prog tendencies (rivaled then only by WATCHTOWER),a...July 5, 2005

Dreams of Death
The number of people willing to "Flots Til Death!" has dropped precipitously since the band's major-label heyday. The band turned out to be too metal for mainstream crossover success, despite a bit of airplay in 1992 with the heavily-hyped "Cuatro", while their move away from thrash roots alienated...July 2, 2005
