“Home of the Brave†is a great way to start “Bittersweet Sixteenâ€, mixing together a very eighties type of American pop with a set of bagpipes to start a traditional/current dichotomy. Very few bands actually make it past the five year mark, so to see that Black 47 has been around for sixteen years is a statement all to itself. This greatest hits collects sixteen tracks from the band’s sixteen…

The hard-rock approach done by The Blackfire Revelation really seems to portend well for the band before the band starts off their true approach, which is essentially screaming over whatever the rest of the band mates decided what would sound good (did I mention that these bandmates had no idea what their other halves were doing). What really hinders The Blackfire Revelation are the extremely long times that they allow…

Incorporating the best parts of Samhain, Tiger Army, Nekromantix and Death By Wednesday, Black Cat Rebellion simultaneously works in two different periods; first off, in the earliest days of Goth music, alongside bands like 45 Grave, and in the later punk/rockabilly revival. “Burn†comes through with an infectious beat, aided by the intricate bass of Creepy Rob and a sultry-sang set of vocals laid down by Brad.

His new album, Bells & Whistles, channels everything from honky-tonk theatricality to the stripped-down intimacy of a folk troubadour to the visceral nature of independent rock music. Ultimately, it’s Pagan’s unique…
