Metal Monday Volume 80 (7.23.12)

One thing Nachtmystium’s latest offering Silencing Machine is not, and that’s Black Meddle pt. 3. Sure, there are still elements of the last two records in here (“The Lepers Of Destitution”, “Borrowed Hope And Broken Dreams”) but for the most part SM is a great big “Fuck You!” from mastermind Blake Judd to those who thought he’d forgotten his roots. With the industrial romp of “As Made” out of the Nachtmystium system, it’s time to focus on some straight up […]

Spineshank have managed to evolve again on their latest album, Anger Denial Acceptance, which encompasses all the sounds they’ve accumulated up ’til now and injected it with a fresh, new vigor. More in tone with Strictly Diesel in terms of production but leaps and bounds beyond The Height Of Callousness and Self-Destructive Pattern, Anger Denial Acceptance is the next logical progression for the LA cyber metallers. A prime example is “Nothing Left For Me” which brims with intensity but is […]

Recently, guitarist Mike Sarkisyan chatted with The Blerd13 via phone to talk about the new record, the band’s reformation and the possibility of some acoustic Spineshank in the future: 1. As a fan, I was devastated when you guys split after putting out what I felt was your best […]

Like a Pantera/Lamb Of God hybrid in terms of aggression (And Killswitch Engage in terms of melody) with grand, melodic passages that set them apart from their peers, Rise To Remain’s debut album City Of Vultures sees the band soaring above the typical 21st century metal fare. The title track alone speaks volumes as to where Rise To Remain are headed but we’ll get to that later. With three stellar EP’s under their belt already, anticipation was high for UK metaller’s Rise To […]

Technical metal? Metalcore? Screamo? Why is it so important to put bands into a sub-category in order for them to get recognized? Whatever the official ruling on that is, Architects UK defy all categorization on their latest album, Daybreaker. Samuel Carter is the Jesse Leach of the UK in terms of vocal range and Daybreaker is leaps and bounds above their last record. If you’re looking for defining moments in a bands career then Daybreaker would be one for Architects […]

For the Fear Factory fans who wet themselves after hearing 2010’s “comeback” album Mechanize for the first time: Time to invest in some more adult diapers. Fear Factory are back with a man vs machine concept album which is easily their strongest record since Obsolete. Round two for the reunited Dino Cazares and Burton Bell sees Fear Factory go back to their industrial roots and create a cyber metal album that truly befits the LA metallers. “Christploitation” off of Mechanize […]

Maybe a better name for Kill Devil Hill would be “The Comeback Kids”? You have legendary drummer Vinny Appice who had to deal with the dissolution of Heaven & Hell and the death of longtime bandmate Ronnie James Dio in one corner and in the other you have Rex Brown, former bassist for Pantera and Down who has had some hard times recently. Then there’s guitarist Mark Zavon who has spent some time as a member of both Stephen Pearcy’s […]
