Celebrity Therapist

As desensitized as we are to just about everything these days, it is still a hair-raising thrill to hear a band as avowedly unhinged as THE CALLOUS DAOBOYS. Primarily rooted in the scattershot noise-core of DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, BOTCH and THE CHARIOT, but with all the melodic extravagance and progr...

The first six KISS studio records were issued over a span of just 40 months; "Paranoid" came out only seven months after BLACK SABBATH's debut, with "Master of Reality" following a s...
