Surrender to No One
Give him credit, David T. Chastain never quits. Since the eighties, Chastain has slugged it out in the metal underground, never wholly capitalizing on his tenure and perseverance. Yet CHASTAIN the band has a strong following and loyalists will immediately flock to "Surrender to No One", which featur...March 3, 2014

Enter the Metal
Canadian prog-thrashers VARGA had a brief run from 1989 through the mid-Nineties, which is to say, they were doomed from the start for obvious reasons if you were paying attention to the North American music climate of that period. They released two albums, "Prototype" and "Oxygen" as well as their...March 3, 2014

Bazaar of Wonders
Russian prog duo STARSOUP has a simple mission statement: "to invite different cool musicians and make some good music". For Alexey Markov and Andrew Gryaznov's purposes, this means pushing their less-than-simplistic creations into concrete, if sometimes slow-cooked DREAM THEATER vehicles with an en...March 3, 2014

Mary Jane
DEAD, WHITE AND BLUE is the raunchy rock playground of Russell (aka "Rusty") Workman, who reportedly worked with earlier bands in his native Arizona that opened for the likes of IRON MAIDEN, KORN and DIO. Workman was forced to put DEAD, WHITE AND BLUE on hiatus while serving a stint in the jug for d...March 2, 2014

REV
Now that the brief psychobilly rampage through the punk underground has quieted down like another here-and-almost-gone fad, it's mostly down to the main core of veteran bass-slappin' happies likes NEKROMANTIX, BATMOBILE and the original Psychobilly Freakout himself, Reverend Horton Heat. Resurrectin...March 2, 2014

Bridge the Gap
Time and tide, as they say. It's been since 1979's "Lovedrive" that former SCORPIONS cohorts Michael Schenker, Herman Rarebell and Francis Buchholz were last together on record. Cool to see these guys allied once again in 2014 under the banner of MICHAEL SCHENKER'S TEMPLE OF ROCK. The mere propositi...March 2, 2014

Thoughtscanning
The French-Bulgarian duo known as WE ALL DIE (LAUGHING) have a lot on their twisted minds, so much they've compacted it all into an expressive and often anguished 33-minute composition constituting their debut release, "Thoughtscanning". Comprised of CARNIVAL IN COAL/6:33 (and Rock Hard journalist)...March 2, 2014

From All Purity
Chicago doom and noise mongers INDIAN have never been an easygoing trip. If you plug in to their drenching work, you're obligated to abrasive tones and punishing volume. Now on their fifth offering "From All Purity", INDIAN shoves their listeners into the ugliest climates yet conjured by their fears...March 2, 2014

Black and Blood
Getting past the goony title of their second full-length album, Boston death and black metallers SOUL REMNANTS put on a hell of a show with "Black and Blood", an album sure to remain planted in the players of death junkies, assuming they can wedge the new CARCASS album out. The band features Tom Pre...March 2, 2014
