The Chuck Norris...
There is something to be said about back-to-basic, riff-heavy rock and roll, but it may not always be said in glowing terms. Featuring members of RICKSHAW, TIAMAT, and TAURUS, Sweden's THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT [Insert lame and beat-to-death Chuck Norris joke here] have not made an awful retro roc...March 27, 2006

Educated Horses
It's been five years since ROB ZOMBIE's last album and second solo effort, 2001's "The Sinister Urge", and during that time, while Zombie wrote and directed his first two feature films, there was doubt about whether he would even return to music. Well, he has, and "Educated Horses" doesn't sound lik...March 22, 2006

Threshold of Revelation
I had been patiently waiting for the follow-up to 2003's "Summoning" from Chicago's TWELFTH GATE, figuring that if it is in league with the NEVORMORE-esque, mildly proggy traditional/thrash metal of the debut that I'd be in for a treat. After parting ways with Crash Music, Inc., the band settled on...March 20, 2006

Reach For the Surface
Melodic European riffs? Harsh vocals? Clean choruses? With the metalcore scene as glutted now as rap-rock was not long ago, there's gonna be a residual prejudice against Texas hopefuls DRYLINE right off the bat. They may be coming late to the party, but don't count them out without giving them a lis...March 20, 2006

Don't Fear the Reaper
I'll be honest with you here; I was a little taken aback at Tue Madsen's crystal clear, thick 'n' rubbery sound mix the first time I heard WITCHERY's "Don't Fear the Reaper". By that I mean that I was expecting the rawer, bloodied thrash sounds of "Dead, Hot and Ready" or "Symphony for the Devil", ....March 13, 2006

Paint the Town
Originally released on Lovelost Records in 2004, "Paint the Town" by Philadelphia's ONE DEAD THREE WOUNDED sees a re-release on 1x1 Records with two new bonus tracks. Why re-release it so soon? Apparently, the band wasn't pleased with the debut album's level of distribution and according to vocalist...March 6, 2006

Apollo
When they split off from FU MANCHU to form NEBULA, Eddie Glass and Ruben Romano formed the third leg of the archetypal stoner rock triad on which about nine thousand other bands balance themselves. Between them, FU and KYUSS — three bands whose total lifetime sales figures could be a rounding error...February 27, 2006

Suicide Party
Oh those pesky little Xs. You know what that means: another angry mob of straightedge hardcore kids. Hey, as long as no one is pulling a "Salt Lake City" on a red-blooded, beer drinking and chain smoking metal or hardcore kid, then who really gives a rat's ass? I know I don't. Oh yeah, "Suicide ...February 26, 2006

Swarm!
I think I liked it better when Finland's TORTURE KILLER was a gore-soaked death groove act that intentionally molded its sound after SIX FEET UNDER, as well as bands like OBITUARY. As a SIX FEET UNDER tribute band playing original songs with SFU's Chris Barnes' in the band, TORTURE KILLER becomes so...February 20, 2006
