News, Reviews and Interviews
Heavy Metal Around the Globe
MRTVI – Negative Atonal Dissonance
With a broad brush stroke, MRTVI paints a decidedly finite portrait on the ever growing and ever evolving landscape of contemporary black metal.
Ghost Bath – Starmourner (Review and Interview)
I feel that this album is going to be divisive on several levels. It’s not a true “anything”. It has elements of so many different genres, that I think it’s going to appeal to anyone with an open mind regarding what genres belong in heavy music today.
Red Moon Architect – Return of the Black Butterflies
It’s my first Red Moon Architect experience, and I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting this to be so melodic. Everything is very dark and gloomy.
Nad Sylvan – The Bride Said No
At the heart of the songs are the sophisticated yet engaging melodies, delivered by Sylvan’s slightly pained alto.
Lonely Robot – The Big Dream
Prog fans, please come out of the shadows if you haven’t already. Music like The Big Dream should reinforce your conviction to the idea that you were never wrong to love what you love in the first place, the world be damned.
Rage and Frustration Round-Up – June 17, 2017
25 albums worth a quick review. (Some are actually worth more than a quick review)

Decibel Tour Review – House of Blues, Chicago
I must say Obituary really stole the show in my opinion. Super crisp sounding, everything I wanted to hear pretty much.
