Vale of Pnath – The Prodigal Empire (2011) Review

This is the first full-length album by Colorado band Vale of Pnath (named for some place in an H.P. Lovecraft book…I really need to read Lovecraft…).  I’m extremely impressed by these guys.  They definitely have some serious brutality to them, but at the same time they understand that truly...

Unexpect – Fables of the Sleepless Empire (2011) Review

Well, it’s been how many months since I’ve written a review?  And it’s really a shame, because so many good albums have come out so far this year!  I’ll do my best to catch up, but it might be a Sisyphean task.  Anyways, on to the review. Unexpect is...

Animals As Leaders Concert

Clover – Sea of Red (2011) Review

I stumbled across these guys pretty randomly.  They’re a new metal band the Hudson Valley, not too far from where I go to school.  I don’t generally find myself listening to this type of metal, but the more I listen to these guys, the more I like them.  Logan...

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Calling It Quits

The ever-unclassifiable American music act  has announced that, after over a decade of composing and touring, they are finally calling it quits.  I regret that I have never seen them live, as their live shows were supposedly as bizarre and out-there as their music.  American music has just gotten...

Amon Amarth – Surtur Rising (2011) Review

Amon Amarth is one of the few bands from my silly teenage years that I still listen to (Rotting Christ being the only other one I can think of off the top of my head).  There’s a reason why: their uber in-your-face viking music appealed to young, angry me,...

Moonsorrow – Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa (2011) Review

This band makes some seriously beautiful music.  I admit I hadn’t given their discography much of a listen until recently, but I think I can pretty safely say that these guys are one of my top bands.  Their music is sweeping and intense, and every song takes you on...

Vektor – Black Future (2009) Review

Hey guys, sorry it’s been so long since my last review.  Eh. Sooo I’m not normally a fan of thrash metal.  However, the progressiveness of this band saves it for me.  They have created some seriously interesting melodies, and while most of it is fast-paced and in your face,...

The Foreshadowing – Oionos (2010) Video Review

I know the webcam isn’t terribly official, but it’s all I’ve got on weekdays.  Real videos will be coming soon.  Anyways, go listen to The Foreshadowing!

Inquisitor – The Quantum Theory of Id (2010) Review

I was initially going to review each individual song from this album, but as I jotted down notes while listening to the album, I realized that I had pretty much the same thing to say about each song.  Generally speaking, the music is good.  It’s a solid listen.  The...
