Kingdom of Noise

I can't remember the album names but: Squash Bowels: Interesting moniker. Pretty good deathgrind. A bit pig squeely at times but I'...

I'll have to admit, on first listen I was less than impressed. That's what shitty speakers will get you. With better audio, I got it...

Dissident Aggressor  (Winner) Judas Priest Track from: A Touch Of Evil - Live [Epic] Set To Fa...

First off, I hate the word no-one. Is it no-one, or noone, or no one? I think it might be no one. I don't now. Anyway, back to the album...

I never thought I'd say that I am disappointed in a project featuring a member of Clutch. But I am. The Company Band is fronted by Clutc...

I thought I'd check this out. Death Metal and weed. What could be bad about that? There isn't really, but there isn't much that...

10. Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague : This one might also fall into the “I don’t care what you think” pile. Some bands just have “it”....

Before I start into my Top 20, it’s disclaimer time. I base these picks on what I like to listen to. Not necessarily based on musicianship a...

Before I publish my Top 20, you should know that there are a couple of glaring ommissions. These would be The Company Band and Javelina. At ...

30. Big Business - Mind the Drift :  Big Business usually ranks higher than this but 2009 was such a great year. Mind the Drift takes me on...

40. Culted - Beyond the Thunders of the Upper Deep : Heavy-ass doom. Manitoba/Sweden collabo portrays bleakness and cold. This would be grea...

I love being Canadian. And I love Canadian Metal. Some Canadian music makes me ashamed (Celine Dion, Anne Murray, Nickelback), some rocks (N...

Did I really used to read Revolver Magazine religiously? I think I did. Why the hell did I do that!!?  I picked up the latest issue with th...

So I've been on vacation/holidays/not working for a couple weeks or so. Therefore, I've been spending less time on the internet. So ...

Insomnium - Across the Dark: a little TOO melodic. Katatonia - Night is the New Day: sissy metal. Kittie - In the Black: would be better if ...

I just finished watching Get Thrashed . It's a documentary about the history of Thrash Metal. It was pretty good. I'm kinda late to ...

I broke the alpha order tonight. I skipped everything from H to L. I wasn't in the mood for anything in that range. I went right to Napa...

#20 Asphyx - Death...the Brutal Way : brutal is the only way I like it. This album is amazing. #19 The Atlas Moth - A Glorified Piece of Blu...

Disappearer - The Clearin g This was never really in contention. I just hadn't heard it much. And it's not in contention now. There ...

So I started listening to the 90 or so albums on my iPod. I'm going in alpha order for now. Here's some of the albums that are NOT g...

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...
