Reborn
I seem to recall enjoying SIX REASONS TO KILL's half of a split CD with ABSIDIA ("Morphology of Fear") more than the band's new full-length, "Reborn" (released last summer on Bastardized and now issued stateside on Tribunal). That isn't to say that the German metalcore band has fallen flat on its fa...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

Kontamination
Limited to 2,000 hand-numbered copies, Southern Lord offers to the grim U.S. black metal masses "Kontamination" from France's HAEMOTH. A limited edition (300 copies) picture disc was also issued, but has sold out. The "as real as it gets" cliché truly applies in the case of this incredibly abrasive...December 26, 2005

Synchestra
As much as I enjoy STRAPPING YOUNG LAD I always find myself enjoying THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND more. It is something about the way Canada's resident musical genius wraps beautiful melodies around layers of soulful wisp and intense emotion. Much like "Accelerated Evolution", "Synchestra" takes repeat l...December 19, 2005

Probably not the most festive Christmas music you could think of here, although you could keep your father busy for a while by getting him to sync up two stereos to play these two discs simultaneously, for the full effect of the work. Of course, then you'd have your grandmother pissing herself as sh...December 12, 2005

Attera Totus Sanctus
Those wondering whether the long awaited full-length, "Attera Totus Sanctus", from Sweden's DARK FUNERAL is a major departure from the mostly one-tempo (fast) albums of the past can stop wondering. In a general sense, this is no major departure, but it is a somewhat more memorable DARK FUNERAL album...December 5, 2005
