I don’t care if you don’t know your Megadeth from your Metallica, your Fates Warning from your Mercyful Fate, it’s certain that you’re gonna lose several hours to The Merciless Book of Metal Lists. Yes. it’s that good. Complied by former music A&R rep Howie Abrams and music writer Sacha Jenkins, the book is a fantastically entertaining look at all things metal – from logos and t-shirts to bands, list…
If The Sweeney has a very 70’s-cop-drama-feel that’s for good reason – it was based on the 70’s British TV show of the same name. This updated version gives a nod to greats of the genre like Serpico and French Connection, but also owes a debt to more modern classics like Layer Cake and even Reservoir Dogs (minus the gore). The movie follows a group of London detectives that are part of the cloistered Flying Squad that investigates…
The Bowflex UpperCut will present users with a wide variety of exercises for when the gym is closed or otherwise out of reach (inclement weather, lack of transportation). The UpperCut can be locked in a variety of positions to work out one’s chest, arms, core, and legs. In fact, the ability of the UpperCut to be moved into numerous configurations makes it easy for individuals to create their own workouts.…
The London-based band’s debut album, The Circle and The Blue Door, is set for an April 30 release via Metal Blade/Rise Above Records. Decibel Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Albert Mudrian dubbed the album the “best debut of 2013” and overseas outlets like the BBC (“a modern demonic sound”), Terrorizer (“their brand of gothic psychedelia is set to take 2013 by storm”) and Subterranea/Metal Hammer (“Purson are the UK’s new ambassadors for the…
Tokkyo Nutrition Protein is some of the best protein that we have received for review in NeuFutur. The inclusion of 5 grams of BCAAs in each serving decreases the chance that lean muscle will be catabolized after the completion of a workout, while the blend of whey protein concentrate and isolate (22 grams in total) allows a body to properly be replenished each time that they supplement with the…
HIT Supplements has provided purchasers with a full complement of inclusions to increase energy, provide laser-like focus, and increase the overall health of those that are supplementing with this pre-workout. The BCAAs found in Igniter Extreme decrease the potential for lean muscle gains to be catabolized, while the Creatine Monohydrate here allows for the muscles to be packed on. As far as pre-workouts go, the sheer amount of energy that…
When I was taking graduate courses, a number of my fellow students would put down a tape recorder and capture the entirety of the class’s discussion. In the few years since I ended these classes, the technology that these recorders utilized have increased considerably. Where earlier generations of recorders were fuzzy and recorded vocals poorly, the Philips Digital Voice Tracer 1000 will ensure that a whole dialogue can be easily…
Black and Blue opens up Undertow, and this bit of stronger singer-songwriter is able to provide listeners with a style wholly unique yet familiar. Lovelie’s vocals blend perfectly with the precise instrumentation that bounces through pop, rock, and even alternative music before the track ends. Fire & Icicles shifts Lovelie’s vocals into a more rock style, while the quality of the instrumentation continues to impress. Every guitar line and drum…
The OnBeat X1 is a tremendously useful piece of technology, and possesses a price point (about $40) that makes it eminently purchasable by anyone that has a Bluetooth-capable phone. The size of the OnBeat X1 is small enough that it will fit perfectly in a bookbag, while the lack of weight does not decrease the clarity of its playback. In fact, the inclusion of vibration bass adds further complexity…

On a good month, we receive about 10 different action / martial arts titles. There are a number of companies that focus on providing these movies for the English market. Many of them are atrocious, but Woochi Demon Slayer is so much better than the average action fare that it is not funny. The key reason for this distinction comes in the quality of the script; the plot will…
Left of the Right Direction begins Ain’t That A Shame, establishing Winslow as an incredibly taut act. Nothin’s Easy further solidifies the technical ability of the band. Quarter Life showcases the emotional intensity of the band. While the CD has focused on their deft blend of pop and soulful rock, I feel that there is considerable emotional content that will increase the replay value of this album considerably. While listeners…
While Game of Throne’s King Joffrey has become shorthand in describing TV villains, Kelsey Grammer’s Mayor Tom Kane – from the Starz series Boss – is arguably just as evil and just as much fun to watch. The mayor’s dementia – diagnosed in the first season – has done little to temper his nastiness. Along with his wife (Connie Nielsen), he still plays puppet master with the state’s politicians from…
Hello! Can you introduce yourselves to NeuFutur readers? Hey Guys! I’m Sarah Petrella. I’m a singer-songwriter from Southern California and I invite you to listen to my music! Music has been apart of my life since I was very very young. Recently this last summer I had the great privilege to work with veteran producer Geza X Gedeon on my latest Ep “Summer”. I recorded here in Los Angeles, with…
3Beans is a strong porter that Sixpoint has released, and it is perhaps one of the most complex beers that we have had the chance to review. Each can of 3Beans represents a unification of disparate elements, beginning with the inclusion of Romano beans. These beans continue much to the vastness of the beer, and are united with cacao beans sited from Mast Brothers Chocolate. 3Beans is made complete…
This is one heavy beer. Our introduction to the beers of the Mt. Pleasant Brewing Company is a 6.4% ABV stout which pours incredibly dark. With each initial sip, a distinctive dark malt flavor touches upon coffee, chocolate, and the bitterness of chicory. The mouthfeel of the Steam Engine Stout quickly dissipates, allowing for a refreshed taste with every sip. For every hint of bite or bitterness, there is a…

Iron Man: Rise of Technovore is a movie-sized animated feature, and the title contains the same dedication to detail and impressive technology that has been part of the Iron Man mythos. The title surrounds a terrorist attack on Stark Industries and the resultant mission undertaken by Iron Man to quash this rebel group. A full complement of Marvel Universe heroes are present here, with Black Widow, Hawkeye, The Punisher, War…
The Taint is a corrupting force that turns males into utterly misogynist assholes, possessing the ultimate desire to rid the world of all females. The bulk of The Taint focuses on two against the world – Phil O’Ginny and Misandra – and their effort to make things right. Dan Nelson and Drew Bolduc direct The Taint, and lead viewers into a hilarious, bloody, and even thoughtful film experience. The Taint…

I studied piano for five years at Università della Musica Roma Italy (1992-1997), and I play the guitar too. I played the keyboards in some bands for amusement. I liked always to compose music in my free time, and I wish spread my music now! Half Time is my first CD published. (Oct…
