Storm Alert
Originally released in 1989 (and never in the United States),thrash fans on this side of the Atlantic now have a golden opportunity to revel in the vintage Texas metal of TORTURE's "Storm Alert". After releasing 1987's "Torture Kingdom" EP and "Storm Alert", the El Paso band called it quits. Now re...February 20, 2006

The Poison
Well, this is a first, receiving a promotional CD in a red heart-shaped box, that is. That and a Valentine's Day release date can only mean one thing, right? It's the new full-length album by Welsh metalcore outfit BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE. Phrases like "the next big thing" have been waved around mor...February 6, 2006

Dimensions
That rumbling sound you hear is the onrushing freight train of hype that'll be dumped on the United States in the near future, as Australian sensations WOLFMOTHER make their belated way to our shores. Already bigger than big down under, this lean, mean power trio could actually bridge the gap betwee...February 6, 2006

The Garden of Unearthly Delights
Some things in life, you can depend on. A CATHEDRAL album is usually one of them. Dave Patchett art, Lee Dorrian's mad warble, delightfully silly movie samples, and most importantly, lurching, fetid SAB grooves grinding in first gear across the English countryside in varying degrees of doominess. Th...January 30, 2006

Maleficus
In a world where straight-up death metal seems to be on a race to blast-beating oblivion, it takes dedication to stick doggedly with a rhythmic, midtempo, song-oriented style. Perhaps this is why, despite ten years of persistence in the underground and props from fellow metal travelers, this America...January 16, 2006

Wake Pig
Not (thank the gods) the '80s delete-bin staple featuring ELP alumni Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, this 3 is in fact a weird, proggy upstate New York band that pals around with COHEED AND CAMBRIA and gets compared to THE MARS VOLTA. Fans of either of these groups, PORCUPINE TREE, or the late and la...January 9, 2006

Come Clarity
After the musical brilliance and Swedish might of IN FLAMES' "Colony" and "Clayman", it would have been damn near impossible for future albums to measure up. Initially unsure of "Reroute to Remain", the infinitely more melodic follow-up to "Clayman" ultimately hooked me and I ended up enjoying it im...January 2, 2006

Age of Winters
How much more self-conscious orc rock can you fit into your Viking helmet? Not to be confused with the half-decent Canuck '80s metal outfit of "Metalized" and "Sweet Dreams" fame, these guys are an altogether more unwashed and skunk-weed-reeking prospect. Tumbling down thirdhand from SABBATH's loins...January 2, 2006

Fuck the Universe
Having just reviewed HAEMOTH's "Kontamination", it is difficult to avoid comparing and contrasting it with CRAFT's "Fuck the Universe", at least to some extent. It is not as though the two discs sit on opposite ends of the spectrum The common denominator is one of quality black metal that emanates f...January 2, 2006

Out Loud
"Out Loud" by Slovenia's NAIO SSAION seems to be Napalm Records' attempt to make a big splash in the modern rock/pop world. If you're looking for a review of an album representative of the label's more gothic-folk-metal catalogue, look elsewhere (the band's violin-driven folk slivers notwithstanding...January 2, 2006
