Cynic Re-Hash and Re-Mix with Re-Traced
Well, this is probably going to ruin my chances of interviewing anyone from Cynic, but “I calls it likes I sees it” – and what I sees is not what I wants. Although, I did speak with Paul Masvidal outside of their last show – does that partially count? I happen to consider myself a Cynic fan – perhaps not as much as many of you out there – but it just so happens that I … Read entire article »
Soundgarden Is Back!? Relax, It’s the Nineties.
Remember that expression? “Relax, it’s the nineties.” It seemed to sum-up the general well-being in America and the world at the time. Nothing was off-limits, anyone could be or have anything.

Alice in The Skye With Diamonds
I was seriously considering open a can of haterade upon hearing that the Deftones were playing with Alice in Chains and Mastodon.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the “Rust in Peace” tour by now – but just in case you haven’t – it’s Megadeth, Testament and Exodus. Awesome, right!? Wrong. The only show in California is in Los Angeles. It seems like there’s a new story every day, in some form or another, about how awesome these concerts are going to be. Which is why it’s so frustrating when shows are cancelled, postponed, or not anywhere near … Read entire article »

Incoming Rant: “Video Game Metal” Is Getting A Little Out of Hand.
Sonata Arctica is on tour. With a “video game” inspired band. They’re called Powerglove. I get it. You REALLY LIKE video game music because it’s nostalgic and people instantly recognize it and people think you’re clever for being able to transcribe video game music into rock and roll. I, myself, was quite impressed with it. Ten years ago. Not anymore though. It’s a genre almost as over-done as Pirate Metal. The thing is, this band Powerglove totally … Read entire article »
