CD Review: ‘With Serpent Scourge’ by Necrowretch

February 20, 2015
by Jerel Johnson

French blackened death metal trio Necrowretch play it safe on its sophomore effort, With Serpents Scourge. There are some killer riffs on such songs as “Feast Off Their Doom,” but there is little that truly jumps out and grabs the listener by the thr ...

February 15, 2015
by Barry Adkins

I’ve been a follower of Massimo Usai’s music for a long time, and it’s no surprise why. Here’s a man who has fronted a diverse number of projects, has received praise from the likes of Tommy Victor (Prong), recorded with Darren Travis (Sadus), and b ...

CD Review: ‘Secret Snakes / Silent Serpent’ by Dead Empires

February 1, 2015
by Barry Adkins

  Sugar and spice and just a dash of…sludge? Last time, the New York three-piece Dead Empires released an album was in 2012, with the vastly interesting debut LP Waiting In Waves. Happily, new material is upon us!  The group’s latest release, ...

CD Review: ‘Live At The Rutledge’ by Jenn Grinels

January 26, 2015
by Barry Adkins

I’m a horrible Jenn Grinels fan.  Despite how enamored I was with her stunning performance opening up for Carbon Leaf some time ago, or how her audience participation is the best I’ve witnessed since Frank Zappa, I’ve still managed to go forever and ...

Spanish thrash outfit Angelus Apatrida are set to make its mark with Hidden Evolution, its fifth record. The opening track “Immortal” has a latter day Exodus feel due to its intricate riffs and brutal drumming. However, the band is not interested in ...

CD Review: ‘Time and Trauma’ by 36 Crazyfists

January 18, 2015
by Jerel Johnson

Alaska outfit 36 Crazyfists never broke from the mold during the New Wave of American Heavy Metal in the 2000s. The band enjoyed some popularity, but failed to garner the critical or commercial success of its contemporaries like Killswitch Engage or ...

CD Review: ‘Only to Rise’ by Sweet & Lynch

January 15, 2015
by Tillman Smoot

Few sounds can capture the feel of the late 80s and early 90s like the clean guitar licks that scream from George Lynch’s (Dokken, Lynch Mob) fingers and out through his amp. Combine that with Michael Sweet’s (Stryper) powerful trumpeting vocals and ...

CD Review: ‘Apex Predator – Easy Meat’ by Napalm Death

January 14, 2015
by Jerel Johnson

The grind continues on Napalm Death's 15th release, Apex Predator-Easy Meat. Always a band willing to step outside the box, the droning title track stomps in industrial glory. This unorthodox opener may throw some off, but the band kicks things back ...
