Like Bay Area Thrash? (Of Course You Do.) Then You Better Listen To These New Laceration Tunes.

Like Bay Area Thrash? (Of Course You Do.) Then You Better Listen To These New Laceration Tunes.

Laceration should change the title of their new album from “Realms of the Unconscious” to “Keepin’ It Real” – as that would be a more appropriate description for how these thrashers approach their metal. Some bands take the melodic approach with guitar harmonies and so forth, which is cool, but Laceration pretty much just beat you in the face with their guitar riffs, growling thrash vocals and syncopated drumming. Not only are the tracks crushing, … Read entire article »

New Miseration Sounds Fucking Awesome

New Miseration Sounds Fucking Awesome

I’m writing a review for an album I haven’t even fully heard yet, I’m that confident. Miseration’s new album The Mirroring Shadow is the follow-up album to Your Demons – Their Angels, which was not a bad album, but wasn’t really an album that I could listen to over and over. It was closer to metal-core than I would’ve liked – it definitely doesn’t sound as epic and varied as Shadow does. Basically take epic Black … Read entire article »

Weirdest Song Debut, Ever.

So, Exodus have been doing live chats all week while they record their new album, The Atrocity Exhibition – Exhibit B, and this weekend they decided to debut a new song via this ustream website. The song is pretty rocking, but it’s funny because it’s basically just Rob Dukes sitting in front of his web cam staring at you and like, wondering what to say. He finally decides to rock out at the end of the video, but otherwise he’s just sitting there drinking from a coffee mug, looking all bored. On another note, nice Murderface t-shirt. … Read entire article »

Charred Walls of the Damned

Charred Walls of the Damned

Richard Christy’s (Death, Iced-Earth) new band, Charred Walls of the Damned (check out their myspace page) just released their first single, Ghost Town. If you didn’t know, Ripper Owens is on vocals, Steve Digorgio is on bass, and producer Jason Suecof is playing guitar. Christy left Iced Earth a few years ago to join the Howard Stern show, I was actually at his last concert in L.A. So, I’m not quite sure where this band … Read entire article »

Another Ahnuld Band?

Ok, making fun of Arnold Schwarzeneggeregererr was funny about 7 years ago, but now it’s just getting old. You already have ArnoCorp, Austrian Death Machine and now Schwarzenator? Please tell me this is a prank. From blabbermouth: SCHWARZENATOR — the self-proclaimed “ultimate Arnold Schwarzenator concept band” featuring guitarist Shane Gibson (KORN) and Rhythm magazine’s “Best Drummer in the World,” Austrian-bornThomas Lang, will showcase their debut EP, “Schwarzenator”, at West Hollywood, California’s Key Club on the Sunset Strip on Monday, December 7 at 10:00 p.m. Melding comedy, irony and a healthy dose of parody with virtuoso musicianship, SCHWARZENATOR manages to lampoon California Governor,Arnold Schwarzenegger’s finest film offerings — ranging from“Kindergarten Cop” to the “Terminator” franchise — while rocking audiences to their endoskeletons. Wow! A heavy metal parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s movies. How original! … Read entire article »
