Spine of God
I remember seeing MONSTER MAGNET at the State Theater in Detroit, Michigan sometime around 1991.

Hosannas From the Basements of Hell
Pick a band, any band, and if they incorporate any sort of tribal drone, ethereal wall-of-noise roar, mystical third-eye ravings or percussive punk-driven art house nihilism in their music, you can likely thank KILLING JOKE for the influence. The launching pad for a hundred metal, punk and new wave...April 17, 2006

Monday Morning Apocalypse
Sweden's EVERGREY never disappoints, as demonstrated one again by "Monday Morning Apocalypse". The only question about a new EVERGREY album has nothing to do whether the collection of hooky, passionate, and heavy rock tunes is worthy of a listen (of course it is); the question is how it stacks up ag...March 27, 2006

Eclipse
One of the few times in recorded metal history when a vocalist change didn't provoke a nerd riot among a band's followers, the ascension of Tomi Joutsen to the singer position in AMORPHIS has signaled instead a renaissance for these enigmatic Finns. Yes, the death growls are back, in limited quantit...March 6, 2006

Long-running underground U.S. black metal act SATHANAS drop their fifth album courtesy of Singapore's Pulverised Records (pay attention to this label). Blackened thrash is more like it, with an emphasis on the thrash part. The secret to "Entering the Diabolic Trinity" is in its non-nonsense, in-your...March 6, 2006

The Acoustic Verses
Anyone unfamiliar with the pedigree of GREEN CARNATION could be forgiven for thinking this EP was, at various intervals, a new product from COLDPLAY, U2, PINK FLOYD or PORCUPINE TREE. Make no mistake, while this is all acoustic, it's as lush, orchestrated, and enigmatic as any "electric" album from...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
