[Album Review] DarkDriveClinic ‘Noise In My Head’

John Fryer might be one of the most important producers in the music scene. Having worked with Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, and many more such artists, his work in the darker side of music has brought about albums that still inspire and astound listeners the world over, not to mention his own… Read More

[Album Review] Gojira ‘The Flesh Alive’ Live DVD/CD

The rise of Gojira is nothing short of meteoric and wonderful. Hailing from Bayonne, France, this extreme metal band, who brilliantly blends technicality with melody, has garnered world wide praise with each of their releases. Interest spread so far and grew so large that Metallica had them as support for much of their late 2009… Read More

[Album Review] Periphery ‘Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal’

Periphery is one of those bands that exploded upon arrival. Fast, melodic, engaging, and outrageous amounts of fun, they have amassed a strong following that grows with each passing moment. Formed in 2005, their self-titled debut album came out in 2010 to much acclaim. Now, two years later, their second album, Periphery II: This Time… Read More

[Album Review] The Offspring ‘Days Go By’

They’ve got a slew of hits and an extremely loyal fan base, but at this point in their career, are they still able to… Read More

[Album Review] Linkin Park ‘Living Things’

I remember when Linkin Park released Hybrid Theory. I was in high school and the band was beginning to hit that point where their songs were everywhere. Seriously, look up the definition of the word “ubiquitous” and there will be an entry about Linkin Park and that album. But that didn’t change the fact that… Read More

[Album Review] Gojira ‘L’Enfant Sauvage’

Hailing from Bayonne, France, Gojira have been carving a name in the progressive metal world for several years. Blending technical aspects with epic, yet understated melodies, the band has created a unique sound, one that is ferocious and brutal yet far more accessible than most of the genres fare. Now, with their latest offering, L’Enfant… Read More

[Album Review] Fear Factory ‘The Industrialist’

To say that Fear Factory helped shape the way that industrial and extreme metal could mix with melody doesn’t really give them enough credit. This group has been incredibly influential since their inception in 1989 and the 1992 release of their debut album, Soul Of A New Machine. Now, over 20 years later, the band… Read More

Review by Chris Lockett: In 2010, former Velvet Revolver and Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash released what I would consider to be one of the worst solo albums of all time. The debut album, simply entitled Slash, consisted of the guitarist collaborating with a different singer/songwriter for every song. The results were inconsistent to say… Read More

I’ve been a fan of Garbage since their self-titled debut album came out in 1995. Armed with a sound entirely unique unto themselves, they’ve been a band I’ve followed almost religiously with each new album announcement. And so it is, that after seven years, I was back to salivating with anticipation as their latest album,… Read More

Review written by Chris Lockett: It’s been almost a decade since Marilyn Manson made a good album.

On Tigermending, Carina Round seems to have both mellowed out a bit from her previous releases as well as become more experimental.

Ask the everyday horror fan what type of music they’re into and I’m willing to bet that country/bluegrass is pretty low on the list. I find this to be rather interesting as many of the classic horror movies definitely fall under the ‘Southern Gothic’ category. But putting that aside, it’s usually rock or metal as… Read More
