Stop-Loss is a film that is made for this specific time, dealing with the trials and tribulations that soldiers coming from the Iraq war must face as they become normalized to society. Specifically, the policy which Stop-Loss is named after means that if the military wants a soldier to come back after their normal tour of duty is up, they have to do so or face serious charges. The main…

There are six different stories, done in…

Metal Mind Productions presents the first official release of Naumachia’s second full-length album – “Callous Kagathosâ€. The album, recorded in November 2005 in Hertz Studio (used previously by Vader and Decapitated), was a huge step forward in all aspects. The music was heavier, faster and more brutal than it was on their debut release “Wrathomâ€. It featured original, intriguing and fresh metal compositions. “Callous Kagathos” was released in late 2006…
Scorpi-Oh #4/28 Pages. Another fabulous zine by the equally fabulous Joolie. This time, the theme (if you can call it that) of the zine is the Ladyfest, an event about which I was totally unaware. Well, at least I can say I know a little bit about what it entails, even if I cannot ever go to it. There are lyrics about in this magazine, and by far the best…

EverEve – one of the most important representatives of the music genre roughly called CYGOROME (Cyber Goth Rock Metal). But before ultimately defining their style, the group experimented with a plethora of sounds, especially on their first three releases − “Seasons”, “Stormbirds” and “Regret”. Each of these albums showcased a thrilling combination of death, gothic, atmospheric and progressive metal, enforced with a huge dose of Pink Floyd overtones. SargeantJohn Sargeant,…

Tab the Band start off their “Long Weekend†with “Backseat Loveâ€. “Backseat Love†is an interesting type of track, which showcases a band that ostensibly is in the current period, but comes forth with a sound that links the angular sound of acts like Franz Ferdinand with a classic rock style that is reminiscent of Rick Derringer, older Aerosmith, and even Ted Nugent. “Looking Pretty, Pretty†continues with the sharp…

Rather than being a solo type of experience, the game itself allows up to four players the chance to play and compete against…
Myself and the fiancé always go out on Mondays to bowl, and it is perhaps that most fun that I have during the week. Bowling has been a part of my life in video game form for quite a few years now, considering that I had a bowling mini-game for my Nokia phone all the way back in 2005. However, AMF Bowling Pinbusters! is so many steps ahead of that…
1/2 size – 24 pages. This zine is completely different from most others that I’ve seen since it deals exclusively with mix tapes. All the magazine is is mainly lists and different descriptions of each of the mixtapes, which seems like a pretty bland topic for a zine, but Joolie makes it interesting by adding some amazing personal flares to this zine. This includes hand-scribbling various backgrounds and the like…
