I should be ready to release my Top 40 Albums of 2010 shortly but this post is just a bit of a disclaimer so to speak. If you read my list ...

The following are the Top 5 albums that I really enjoyed but couldn't put on my actual Top 40 Albums of 2010 List. For various reasons. ...

I am listening to this on pretty shitty speakers. I bet it sounds much better with headphones or on a decent stereo. Nevertheless, I not a b...

Does this feature members of Big Business? Sometimes it sounds like it does. Doesn't help it though. Just seems kinda average. I don...

I have nothing but respect for Decibel. It is my main source of recommendations for music to check out. I make time for the magazine whereas...

Party music for not very tough bikers.

You should know that I got in to the metal game a but late. I didn't start listening to metal in earnest until around 1994. (Many thanks...

Before I get in to the review, I just have to say that I am over the fucking moon excited to see Withered on Friday. I'd be stoked enoug...

Quite often, a great album will conjure images in your mind regardless of lyrical content. Full of Hell does that very, very well. The foll...

I realized I haven't posted in over a month. But we just moved so that is keeping me really busy. Plus, we were without internet (!!) fo...

You'd think something involving Vinnie Paul and members of Mudvayne would be good, wouldn't you? Okay maybe not. But at least someth...

I hesitate to class this as metalcore because I don't like most metalcore. But I like this and it's pretty much metalcore. It's ...
