Blackout – re-release of one of the best melodic heavy/speed metal albums

Blackout came out of the darkness in the mid 80’s, a time when metal music was just beginning to emerge. Formerly a pop-rock act, the band stormed into the metal scene with their classic Roadrunner debut – “Evil Game”. This exclusive re-release brings back one of the most intriguing, yet omitted musical gems in heavy metal history. The origins of the group reach back to 1983, when from the remnants…

The Curtains – Vehicles of Travel (CD)

The Curtains are a band that I find extraordinarily difficult to properly tag, as their style of largely-instrumental music seems fit for an artsy movie. However, jazz-influenced tracks such as “Kites For Rookies”, even if they do maintain an instrument-heavy sound, use softly-spoken vocals to add a whole other dimension to the track. The tracks on “Vehicles of Travels” are all short, with only a few tracks breaking the two-plus…

Current 93 – Black Ships Ate The Sky (CD)

Why have I never even heard of Current 93, considering that they have cut over twenty albums and have been around for nearly twenty-five years? This brand of folk music is very narrative-based, and the sheer amount of different singers present on “Black Ships Ate The Sky” are enough to make a case for this being more of a play than an album. A few major players in indie music…

Curl up and die-the only good bug is a dead bug (CD)

2000, 5 piece band from Nevada (Las Vegas). Very hard rock in the vein of old Alice in Chains, Clutch, and Helmet. The vocals are influenced by black metal acts such as Venom, Six Feet Under, and Cannibal Corpse. The drums are reminiscent of Bad Religion and Pennywise while the guitars mix between Elliot Smith and Guns n Roses. All & All, a very bizarre mix of components that work…

CHUCK RAGAN SET TO RELEASE NEW FULL LENGTH ‘GOLD COUNTRY’ SEPT.1, 2009

For most of us the phrase Gold Country evokes memories of the 49ers who flocked to California by boat and covered wagon in order to seek fortune for themselves and their families. Chuck Ragan’s latest disc may be coming out a few lifetimes after the gold rush of the mid-nineteenth century, however there’s a timeless quality to the album that embodies the hope and hard work that helped define that…
