Night Ranger – Hole In The Sun (CD)

Night Ranger has always seemed to be a band that never got to that highest level of popularity, despite having such hair metal classics as “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” and “Sister Christian”. “Hole In The Sun” showcases the band’s ability to create good hard rock. This is first evidenced during the introductory track to “Hole In The Sun”, “Tell Your Vision”. The grit and grind that is present…

Cruzan Guava Rum (55 Proof)

I think, out of all the flavored alcohols that we have had a chance to drink, that Cruzan Guava Rum is the only one that has a fruit flavor with which I’ve not previously had the fruit of. Regardless, the Guava Rum is by far the best flavored high-alcoholic product that we have had the chance to review. Where the previous flavored rums that we have reviewed – the Black…

Cruzan Black Cherry Rum (55 Proof)

I know as a child, I loved anything to do with black cherry. The one bad thing was that pretty much any company that did black cherry soda were those at the discount grocery store; there was not a high class brand of black cherry soda to be had. I feel that a number of individuals in the United States felt the same way, and that the black cherry taste…

Cruzan Raspberry Rum (55 Proof)

While there have been a number of different flavored alcohols that have pervaded the markets in the last few years, a key problem that has surrounded all of them has been a strong fake flavor of whatever type of fruit that the alcohol is supposed to have included. Thus, an orange flavoring would put the alcoholic drink perilously close to a cough syrup type of flavor. However, the latest offerings…

Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum (80 Proof)

Set at $34.99 for a 750ml bottle (a 1.75 L bottle is available as well), Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum would normally be a little out of our price range. However, we were provided with a sample of the rum, and after getting a number of opinions and thought about the overall taste, mouthfeel, and bouquet, we here at NeuFutur felt that an individual that actually purchased a bottle of…

Second Pyorrhoea’ s album to be released 9/2 in U.S.

Metal Mind Productions presents the first official release of Pyorrhoea‘s second full-length album. Rhythmical intensity mixed with massive guitar riffing and powerful growling! “The Eleventh: Thou Shalt Be My Slave” surely will not disappoint any extreme death grind maniac. The band was founded in the middle of 2001 by two friends: Cyprian and Andy Blakk. After a couple of months, Daray and Analripper joined the band. In June 2002, Pyorrhoea…

Val Emmich’s Little Daggers Message of the Mind

When we think of the term Pop Music there are two distinct thoughts that come to our minds, it makes you want to dance (and is a guilty pleasure that lives in your iPod) or it has a powerful meaning that tends to live and radiate with us for the majority of our lives. Is it possible to saddle these two different trains of thought and marry the two into…

Rick Of Ages #1

Rick Of Ages #1 / 12 Pages / Free / Rick, 2158 Jacocks Ln., Fort Worth TX 76115 / Released March 2003 /  Well, in my short time reviewing comics, I’ve gotten a lot of shit and a very few decent comics. Even though Rick would like you to think that this is the worst comic you’ve ever read, I really have to say that this comic isn’t half-bad. Imagine…

The Closer – The Complete Third Season (DVD Set)

While there are a number of police drama shows that are on the air in the United States at this current moment, I feel that there just is not a better one to be found than The Closer. The amount of viewersd on any given week further gives that claim credence: the episodes from this season were the highest rated of any other ad-supported, fictional show of all time. Kyra…
