CD Review: ‘Retrogore’ by Aborted
Aborted's ninth record, Retrogore, is another serving of gore splattered technical death metal. The band kicks things into high gear on the title track. It features everything we love about Aborted with its grinding drums and skull splitting riffs. The ba ...
CD Review: ‘Unsaved Progress’ by Double Experience
Sometimes you encounter a band that moves you so much, you're forced to create a really cheesy, embarrassing video in their honor! That's my excuse, anyway, for this video review for Unsaved Progress, the third release by Canadian nerdy neo-rockers, Dou ...

Many folks born post 1993 are too young to remember the nu-metal era from 1996-2003. American Head Charge is one of the bands from that period that never enjoyed the success of bands like Korn or Slipknot. Tango Umbrella is the band's first studio LP in 1 ...

Film Review: ‘The Witch’ (R)
“Woudst thou like to live deliciously?” Despite how terrifying the trailers make it look, ‘The Witch’ is not that kind of horror film. There are no bogeymen popping out of dark corners, no gratuity of gore and nudity (mostly). You will not be jumping o ...
CD Review: ‘Children Of The Program’ by We Love The Underground
It’s been two and a half months since I finished reading “Children Of The Program” by Brad W. Cox. I was transfixed by the web of intrigue that he painted for the reader, but was also curious as to how he’d perform the next piece of the puzzle. Not only ...

Better B Brief: ‘Traveling Roots’ by Matt Flinner Trio
Woody. Oaken. Not a finely aged whiskey, distilled to perfection, but a finely played musical collection, also distilled to perfection. The Matt Flinner Trio has just released their most recent instrumental effort, Traveling Roots, an album built from ...
