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...

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...

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,...

Agalloch – Marrow of the Spirit (2010) Review

Agalloch continues to grow and mature with every release. This album feels natural. It is the perfect progression and it is quite good. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Agalloch I will try to describe their sound. They play dark metal; image folk black metal played in...

Son of Aurelius – The Farthest Reaches (2010) Review

Son if Aurelius is a hell of a lot of fun.  These guys are a technical death metal band hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, and from what I’ve seen they’re a lot better than most (not all, most) of the death metal being produced in the US.  Their sounds...
Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy

Nevermore – The Obsidian Conspiracy (2010) Review (8.7/10)

As some of you may know, I am a total fanboy for Nevermore. I was left entirely satisfied by Nevermore’s last outing (This Godless Endeavour) and thought that things were going from strength to strength. After 5 years of waiting, the next piece in the modern, groovalicious, shred-fest yet...

Cynic – Re-Traced: Cynic to Release a Remix Album

Cynic has reworked four of the songs from their 2008 album, Traced in Air. The last track, “Wheels Within Wheels”, is an entirely new song. Re-Traced will be out on May 17th and I’ve had the chance to check it out. It’s a bit strange at first. It’s not...

Periphery – Periphery (2010) Review

Got djent? on a more serious note, periphery is a progressive metal band from the USA. I honestly can’t classify them, they combine death metal, technical death metal, avant garde, prog rock, techno, hardcore, and some pop even, into their sound. This album starts slowly, in a quite generic...
