[Album Review] Jeff Danna And Akira Yamaoka ‘Silent Hill: Revelation 3D’ OST

In two days, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, the sequel to 2006’s Silent Hill, will hit theaters. Having been a huge fan of the game franchise since the first one was released, I was there when the first film came out. While I had a few minor issues with the film, I thought it was, and… Read More

[Album Review] Tweaker ‘Call The Time Eternity’

When I first heard the band name Tweaker many years ago, I didn’t have much association to work with. But then, upon learning that it is a project from Chris Vrenna, who was a member of Nine Inch Nails as well as the composer of American McGee’s Alice, my ears perked up and my radar… Read More

[Album Review] Bat For Lashes ‘The Haunted Man’

It was in 2009 that I got hooked into Bat For Lashes’ sophomore album Two Suns. Something about the haunting, ethereal songs touched me and I was unable to stop listening to the album for a good few weeks. I still come back to it on occasion, playing the album from beginning to end without… Read More

[Album Review] Dethklok ‘Dethalbum III’

Who honesty would’ve thought that a cartoon on Adult Swim would result in a real band doing real tours and releasing real albums? And yet that’s exactly what happened, resulting in Dethklok’s Dethalbum breaking records as the highest first-week album sales for a death metal act before Dethalbum II broke that record. As silly as… Read More

[Single Review] TesseracT “Nocturne”

TesseracT is a band that came seemingly out of nowhere and rocked the metal community. The band’s mixture of vicious metal riffs with glorious, beautiful soundscapes captured and awed, garnering a fanatical fanbase that are near rabid supporters. In August of 2011, singer Daniel Tompkins left the band, replaced by Sky Eats Airplanes vocalist Elliot… Read More

[Album Review] Stolen Babies ‘Naught’

I first learned about Stolen Babies a few months ago. Since then, I could’ve allowed myself to regret and mourn all the time that I hadn’t been listening to them. Rather than self-flagellating, I dove into their dark avant-garde world, as though I had purchased a ticket to some nightmarish carnival that tickled and teased… Read More

[Album Review] Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost ‘The Blue Hour’

I am a huge fan of 60′s and 70′s progressive rock and I also have a special place in my heart for experimental folk. Something about these styles of music captures my imagination and interest. Perhaps it’s the sense of total and utter creative freedom that these artists seem to exude. Perhaps it’s the wealth… Read More

See Daniel Licht Perform Dexter Music Live

Earlier this year, at the Largo Concert Theater in Los Angeles, California, composer Daniel Licht (Silent Hill: Downpour) conducted a small orchestra in performances of pieces from the hit TV show Dexter, of which he is the composer. It’s amazing to watch as Licht jumps from one instrument to another, creating some otherworldly sounds. Check… Read More

[Album Review] Assembly Of Light ‘Assembly Of Light’

Sometimes one has to culture oneself, be it going to a museum, reading a fine piece of literature, or listening to some music that pushes our boundaries. And so it was that I unknowingly embraced an opportunity to do just that by listening to the self-titled album from Assembly Of Light. Utilizing a 20+ piece… Read More

[Album Review] Another Lost Year ‘Better Days’

Review by Chris Lockett The music industry is completely f*cked. And while this might not be some original/unique statement, it’s actually very fitting because, in the spectrum of rock music, most bands aren’t putting out a whole lot of original or unique music. It’s an unfortunate fact that this microwavable music sells, because we live… Read More

[Album Review] Black Light Burns ‘The Moment You Realize You’re Going To Fall’

Wes Borland is known for being eccentric, off-the-wall, and, most importantly, one hell of a guitar player. For as much as Limp Bizkit is ridiculed, it cannot be denied that their songs are infectious and the guitar hooks huge and powerful. Then there is the work he did with Big Dumb Face, which is nothing… Read More
