Metal Monday Volume 51 (1.02.12)

by Jesse on Jan 2, 2012 • No Comments

Ok, I know this reasoning is totally gonna fuck me in 2030 but for now we’re going to go with it. As a preview of the new year, I give you Metal Monday’s Top 12 of 2012: 1. Ministry: Relapse (March 30th, 2012) Did I not tell you that I went to 2 of the 4 “farewell” shows Ministry did in Chicago in 2008? One part of me should be pissed that Uncle Al got Ministry back together but the […]

While the debut of “Metal Monday’s most anticipated releases of 2012” list is still a few weeks off, I can still tell you without a doubt that Ministry’s Relapse is going to top that list. Uncle Al announced the return of the always formidable Ministry over the summer and is just about finished recording Relapse, due on March 30th through AFM Records. If you’ve been paying attention to the site, you’ll have noticed we’ve been doing our part by sharing […]

Has it really been barely 16 years since German pyromaniacs Rammstein burst onto the industrial metal scene and changed the status quo of Music Performing 101? With the release of the best of collection, Made In Germany: 1995-2011, that would most certainly seem to be the case. If you don’t know Rammstein yet, then I really have to ask: Where have you been for the last 16 years? I mean, really? Even if you’re not a fan, “Engel” and “Du […]

I cannot get over how far The Empire Shall Fall have come in such a short time. their debut, Awaken, is good. Really Good. Volume I: Solar Plexus (The first of a planned trilogy of EP’s that will eventually be collected into an album with some extras) takes all of that energy and emotion found on Awaken as well as all of the influences of Jesse Leach’s previous bands, throws it in a blender, and creates a sound that is both reminiscent yet unique.

It’s that time of year again where everyone starts posting their best of lists and seeing as how there are very few metal releases due in the next few weeks, I figured I’d lead the herd and post my Top 11 of ’11 (Catchy, right?). But to add to the suspense, I’ve broken it up into two parts so you’ll just haaaaave to come back next week (You’ll come back, won’t you?). Without further adieu, here’s numbers 11 through 6 […]

How is it possible that any one band can manage to sound more intense than Meshuggah in this day and age? Just one listen through Masstaden, the stellar debut from Vildhjarta , and you’ll hear how true that statement is. It’s a concept record but don’t let that scare you away. Every song works separate from the concept but if you have a chance to listen from start to finish, you’ll be in for a treat. There’s three (3! Daniel Bergstrom, […]
