CANNAE's third album and the first one I've heard, "Gold Becomes Sacrifice", snorts, snarls, and kicks 90-pound weaklings in the face. As far as sheer heaviness is concerned, the quintet leaves bomb craters in its wake. Except for the brief instrumental, "Collapse", "Gold Becomes Sacrifice" continue...August 29, 2005

Riot Detonator
The scream of "Warrrhhheeeeaaaaddddd!" (No, not the VENOM tune) to begin the second album from Norway's MINDGRINDER was my first clue that "Riot Detonator" would not be the industrial-edged, programmed death metal of 2004's "Mindtech". The previous release had its moments, but felt like a band that...August 29, 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", by Richmond, Virgini...August 15, 2005
