The unstoppable Texas Hippie Coalition is back to bring you to your knees in praise of their latest single “Turn It Up” off of their next full-length Peacemaker due out this summer. Unlike the riff heavy “Pissed Off And Mad About It” from Rollin’, “Turn It Up” rocks on a new level and is easily the metal jam of the summer. Don’t get me wrong, the riffs are definitely there but “Turn It Up” brings so much more with a sleek melody and […]

One of the best metal songs to be released this year, “L’Enfant Sauvage” (Off Gojira’s upcoming L’Enfant Sauvage due on June 26th through Roadrunner Records) harkens back to From Mars To Sirius in the best way possible. If you were disappointed that the Sea Shepherd EP never came to fruition (It’s still supposedly coming), then the machine gun drum and guitar attack that permeates throughout “L’Enfant Sauvage” is sure to make up for it. Joe Duplantier sounds as enraged as ever […]
