Forces of the Northern Night
One can only imagine what EMPEROR, accompanied by a full orchestra, might have sounded like, if the final album, "Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise", had been given over to such a prospect. Of course, metal and orchestral stage presentations have become passé, with black metal, as of 2011,...June 5, 2017

Reaching into Eternity
Now on its seventh album, DRAGONFORCE has a lot to live up to: namely its members' rep as meta-human musicians. The decision-making process on whether to continue dropping albums slung at two hundred miles an hour each must be as nerve-racking as coming up with extravagant guitar solos not yet heard...June 5, 2017

High Country
THE SWORD is known for doom, leaning much more toward seventies hard rock aesthetics than traditional heavy metal. The band hasn't necessarily played it safe by remaining on such a clear trajectory four albums strong. The group has, though, forged a clear path to which its fanbase has been accustome...June 5, 2017

No Grave But the Sea
Any coincidence that buccaneer metal band ALESTORM is dropping its new album the same month Disney releases "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales"? Even more suspect, both ALESTORM and Disney drop their mutual fifth installments this time around, wouldn't you say? Well, Disney's hardly i...June 5, 2017

The Future State of Wicked
It's been nearly 30 years since cult thrashers BLOOD FEAST dropped an album.

Empowering Life
For all intents and purposes, American hardcore is dead. Sure, old-guard leaders like AGNOSTIC FRONT keep on plugging away to the group's faithful, but it's been a hell of a long time since VOID, ADOLESCENTS, GERMS, AGENT ORANGE, YOUTH OF TODAY and MINOR THREAT played this scene. The latter year 'co...June 5, 2017

War Bear
David McElfresh is one of the most talented cats you've never heard of, unless you follow Hank Williams, III or Davey Mac's country-peppered rock 'n' metal hybrid, MOONBOW. If the latter's the case, then you already know the songwriting potency of this multi-instrumentalist prodigy. Depending on how...June 5, 2017
