Black Empire
I really thought FORCE OF EVIL would follow up a solid, if unoriginal, debut with an album that saw the band coming into its own and honing its craft. Nothing of the sort happens on "Black Empire". If anything, it's a step backwards; most of the songs sounding like tracks that didn't make it onto .....April 4, 2005

According to the New York Post, former KISS manager Jesse Hilsen — otherwise known as New York City's worst deadbeat dad — stubbornly refuses to pay up, preferring to rot in jail rather than settle a nearly $400,000 tab to his kids that's piled up for 17 years.

Ohmwork
Even the gods can fuck up. Tony Iommi released the truly execrable "Forbidden" under the BLACK SABBATH name shortly before reuniting with the band's original lineup. Ozzy has those Bea Arthur stage outfits from the early 1980s to live down (not to mention — cue the hate mail — the steaming pile of A...March 27, 2005

Lost and Found
With its third major label effort, Peoria, Illinois' MUDVAYNE reclaims much of the energy and originality that was apparent on 2000's debut, "L.D. 50", while also retaining the hints of melody and musical ambitions that marked its follow-up, 2002's "The End of All Things to Come". That album sounded...March 25, 2005

Burn the Flags
I was prepared to toss this one into the metalcore overflow bin, even though the press quote states: "Expect influences that range from EXTOL to MESHUGGAH, OPETH to ENTOMBED, and BREACH to BURST." One should always take such grandiose statements with a grain of salt anyway. In the case of "Burn the...March 6, 2005
