40. Funebarum - The Sleep of Morbid Dreams : I haven't heard this one. Not for lack of trying. It's been on my search list for month...

Admission time, folks. I don't feel I'm a very good writer. I read Decibel and various metal blogs and think, "Wow. They can wr...

Yesterday I didn't listen to much. I was in a supremely pissy mood. And I wasn't in an environment where I could properly vent. (Scr...

First of all, I like Hatebreed and I like this album. I'll admit, it's not their best. (Not by a long shot) There were lots of bette...

Nile is a pretty kickass band. I wonder why I never got into checking them out til now? It's not like I'd never heard of them. Decib...

Wasn't quite sure what to expect going into this one. I had heard something about it being Epic Metal. Okay. Epic is good. (Ex Deo!!) Bu...

Disappointing first listen. Hatebreed just aren't what they used to be. Maybe the metal scene is saturated with bands that ape Hatebreed...

I have to thank Chris Dick. I read his review of Revocation's Existence is Futile in Decibel and it made me glad to know that I am not ...

After listening to Converge, I was kinda stuck on what to listen to next. There was a lot of stuff I just had to interest in and a bunch of ...

My experience with Converge is fairly limited. I don't think I've ever heard Jane Doe . I might have heard Petitioning the Empty Sky...

I had a pretty messed up dream this afternoon. I can't remember most of it (I jotted down the main points, just haven't got back to ...

Not too bad on first listen. Your basic death metal. Not too technical. That's good. Like I said before, death metal has been my chosen...

I finished the God Dethroned album. Yeah, it's pretty good. I'll have to hear it at least one more time to seriously consider it for...

I shouldn't really say that. Not in any "taking the Lord's name in vain" way. No, I shouldn't say that because cursing...

This year's "My Top Albums of " list, as always, will be very hard to compile.  I have it down to about 60-70 possibles.  Howe...

There is a reason that Slayer have the most devoted fans in metal. That's because they fuckin' rule. World Painted Blood is no exce...

If you don't know Shrinebuilder, shame on you. They are the very definition of supergroup. The lineup: Scott Kelly of Neurosis, Al Ciste...

The first time I listened to Darkness Come Alive , I enjoyed it but I was in no big rush to hear it again. A couple weeks went by. At the en...

Revocation - Existence is Futile : I seriously don't understand what the big deal is with these guys. The singer is nothing special and ...

Andreas Kisser - Hubris I & II : Boring. Pointless. Not bad per se, but just unnecessary. If it wasn't Andreas Kisser, I'd have ...

3 Inches of Blood said they hadn't been to Kingston in 3 years. Arise and Ruin have been to Kingston 3 times THIS year. Whatever the fre...

Warsaw Rising picks up right where ...Of Frost and War left off. Buzzsaw riffage, pummelling drums and very distinctive tortured screaming...

I set my hopes really high for Breathing The Fire . Maybe too high. It's not that the album isn't good, it's just I expected to ...

I've been busy. I've been listening to a lot but during the time where I would be writing reviews, I've been reading. I don'...

I'm in a shitty mood today and I've been having a hard time finding something to listen to. I listened to the second half of Horizon...

I've kinda been listening to all doom stuff tonight. I started with Batillus, then OM, and I just started Culted. Not sure what I have ...

Just some stuff i've been listening to. I'm not in a "write a review" mindset right now, but I'm bored. I had a reade...

3 Inches of Blood - Here Awaits Thy Doom : This is a hard review to write. But write it I will. When you hear a 3IOB record you kind of kno...

I made the trip to Toronto last Wednesday to see the greatest band ever, live in concert. Oh yes. I'm talkin' about Clutch! They pla...

I'm taking an anger management class and my assignment is to find a song that describes how I feel. I am really bad with remembering lyr...
