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...
