Artrosis – In The Flowers Shade (CD)
Artrosis comes from an earlier style in metal, in that the band blends together nineties goth with slightly metal, slightly industrial arrangements to create what would ultimately be Artrosis’ sound. The sound is not hard to the point of being thrash or death metal, but what Artrosis does would be cannibalized by bands like Evanescence in the more current period.

Phosphorescent Announce Tour, Special To Willie Performances, Share MP3
Phosphorescent are hitting the road in support of To Willie, their February 3 release on Dead Oceans. To Willie finds Phosphorescent digging into the Willie Nelson catalog, covering not classics, but deep album cuts. The songs collected on To Willie seem cracked from Phosphorescent’s proprietary mold with Matthew Houck’s unmistakable voice leading the way. They feel lived in, they feel weathered and they feel just like Phosphorescent.
Che Arthur – Iron (CD)

BRING ME THE HORIZON UNLEASH NEW VIDEO AND TOUR ON US
The hottest metalcore band this side of the Thames, Bring Me The Horizon, have released a mutinous new video for their latest single, “Chelsea Smiles,” from their critically heralded new album, Suicide Season. The video captures the band’s larger-than-life personalities and outrageous antics perfectly in an insane house party that highlights the band’s three favorite things — booze, girls and maniacal music. Sheer pandemonium ensues.

Arsonists Get All The Girls – Hits From The Bow (CD)
The picture of Arsonists Get All The Girls looks nothing like the style of music that ultimately comes to bear on “Hits From The Bowâ€. What results is a very Metalocalypse type of style, brutal metal that is bookended by screaming and some of the fastest guitars and drums out there. The great thing about Arsonists Get All The Girls is the fact that they can use very repetitious constructs…
Steve Mac & Mark Brown – The Fly – Cr2 100th Release

Jaguar – re-release of the album by one of most talented NWOBHM acts ever
Lost heroes? Living legends? Heavy metal veterans? I guess that all these phrases can used with Jaguar, the classic metal formation that stormed the British charts in the early 80’s. Being a part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, the band quickly gathered a large group of fans, selling thousands of records in England alone. Their career came to a halt after 1985, when the group decided…
YONLU Due out on Luaka Bop Records April 28th
The story of Yonlu has many angles. Yes, it is a story about music – of the continuing heart-spilling tradition of lo-fi troubadours, of post-rock’s melodic imprints, of an ancient sadness lurking in the new-century and manifesting itself as modern Bossa Nova. But it’s more than that. It is a story about how such music comes to be in a world where technology and communication hide feelings and emotion, but…
Arson – Lacerate the Sky
After listening to this CD for ten minutes, I found myself becoming more and more distracted with the music, as it really was not that innovative in any sense of the term. When I put the disc on, I started to get the first inklings of a headache, which slowly dissipated as I continued listening to the CD. This is death metal of the worst sort – a band that…

Apocalipstick – Apocalipstick Now (CD)
Coming out of San Francisco, Apocalipstick really channels the energy and brashness of the earlier era of California punk, with a comparable attitude to bands from the area like Fear, X, and even The Germs. That is to say, they play a forward style of punk rock that is loud, nasty, dirty, and overall fun. Some of the songs show a desire to experiment with the limits of the music…
The Army Of Darkness – This Is Not A Lifesaving Device (CD)
10 song CD, self released. The Army of Darkness are a 5 piece band that was created from people who were from all around the world, such as Michigan, Florida, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. This CD clocks in at a tight 30:27, with each song running a tad bit over 3 minutes on the average. The music that the AoD play is a very catchy style, a phenomenon that begins…

The Long Lost is the Sound of Love on Self-Titled Debut LP
“The Long Lost” is the sound of love – on so many levels and in so many ways that it’s hard to list them. Imagine back in the 60’s they decided to relocate to California with Caetano Veloso. And imagine if, once there, the pair slipped through a time portal whilst high on mescalin and came round in the late noughties, with the kind of production twists that would allow.…
