CD Review: “Psychosis” by Cavalera Conspiracy
Max and Igor Cavalera continue their brotherly brutality on Cavalera Conspiracy's fourth record, Psychosis. Sepultura fans can rejoice as Psychosis is primarily based on Arise and Chaos A.D. with its fusion of hardcore, groove and thrash. There is even a ...
‘For The Demented’ by Annihilator
Canada’s thrash mastermind, Jeff Waters, is back again with Annihilator’s 16th studio album, For The Demented. Without attempting to imitate past work, but with a desire to recapture the “thrash-meets-melody” aspect that die-hard Annihilator fans love, W ...
CD Review: “Wizard Bloody Wizard” by Electric Wizard
Electric Wizard keep the doom wheel rolling on its ninth record Wizard Bloody Wizard. Six songs of bluesy sludge wrapped in psychedelia, the occult and melancholy. The record's initial single “See You In Hell” is a primordial blues stomp akin to Black Sab ...

CD Review: “Sterilize” by Unsane
After a five-year hiatus, New York noise trio Unsane returns to its roots on its eighth album. The dour disposition of the band’s previous release (Wreck) is long gone. Sterilize is raw and angry and relentless. It sounds like a band that’s young and hu ...
CD Review: “Horse of the Other World” by See Through Dresses
Sonically See Through Dresses are as expansive as the Great Plains of their native Nebraska. Ironically, hailing from such a vast geographical space has not impinged this four piece from cocooning themselves in their own place and creating a dense and tex ...
CD Review: “Cold Dark Place” by Mastodon
The Cold Dark Place EP bears the Mastodon moniker and the members of Mastodon are performing the songs, but this is only technically a “Mastodon” album. Fans still high on Emperor of Sand should temper their expectations. That’s not to say this is a ...
