Krek
Ya keep waiting for KHOLD to get old, and for their less-is-more approach to finally reach its logical conclusion and disappear into a cloud of sardonic nothingness (very kvlt nothingness, naturally). But we're on album number four, they're still slowing down, they seem to give even less of a shit a...November 14, 2005

What to do at Time of Accident…
Throw open the gates to your fragile psyche and let the daring instrumental bliss of New York's HESTON RIFE wreak havoc. I had doubted the entertainment value of instrumental rock albums in the past (even after PELICAN taught me a lesson),only to take the plunge and discover the many treasures cont...October 12, 2005

Buried in the Front Yard
Think what you will about the record label, band name, cover art, and album title, but RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER's "Buried in the Back Yard" is not a grindcore album. It's a dynamic thrash album with roots in crossover, a musically talented cast, and loads of tongue-in-cheek cleverness. MUNICIPAL WAST...October 2, 2005

The 1st Chapter
Wow, what an impressive debut from these Norwegian progsters! I feel the same way about prog metal as I do about power metal: some of it I like a great deal and some of it does absolutely nothing for me. CIRCUS MAXIMUS' "The 1st Chapter" does damn near everything for me. The 70-minute ride is ...July 19, 2005

This Godless Endeavor
"This Godless Endeavor" may just be the most complete and musically accomplished NEVERMORE album to date. Quite a pronouncement, I know, especially when considered in light of a classic like "Dead Heart in a Dead World". However, as with any NEVERMORE album, repeat listens to the 57 minutes of "This...July 9, 2005

DEFLESHED has been in existence for well over a decade with several releases to their name. Presumably, "Reclaim the Beat" would represent the culmination of those years of honing songwriting skills and improving musicianship. This is not good. I'll cut a band a fair amount of slack for not being th...June 20, 2005
