Album Reviews
Spin Cycle: The Kinected, Evolution #9
The Kinected’s debut Evolution #9 is a slice of electro rock heaven.

8MM is their name and countrified rock is their game as evidenced by their latest album “Between The Devil And Two Black Hearts.”
Spin Cycle: Coheed and Cambria, The Afterman: Ascension
The first of two Coheed albums over the next six months, Ascension renews the adventurous promise of Sanchez’s vivid imagination set forth in the early 00’s.
Metal Monday Volume 93 (10.22.12)
Ill Nino is the kind of band that I just can’t stop liking.

Spin Cycle: Tori Amos, Gold Dust
Retrospection through reinterpretation. Seems like something Tori would do.
Spin Cycle: Billy Talent, Dead Silence

This is the one that […]
