Spin Cycle: Overkill’s “The Electric Age”

by Nick on Mar 29, 2012 • 1 Comment

I’m not sure exactly what happened in the past few years and if it is related to the emergence of a new generation of bands emulating the ’80s thrash metal style, but over the past couple of years, many of the originators of the genre have been releasing some of their best albums in years, if not, in some cases, of their careers. While Overkill has always been good at releasing consistently good albums, their last few albums have been […]

The Big 4: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax – Wednesday, September 14th 2011, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY I’ve seen Anthrax (with Joey Belladonna on vocals), Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica on more than a few occasions (Anthrax as recently as two days before The Big 4 event), so seeing them all play live again wasn’t necessarily earth shattering, but seeing them all play TOGETHER live and in the flesh was certainly a teenage dream of mine come to life. Much was […]

Who’s the hottest group in country music right now? That’s right-Lady Antebellum. The co-ed trio is coming off of the huge success of Need You Now-the Grammy-winning song and album and they can pretty much do no wrong right now. Their third album, Own The Night, is more or less guaranteed to be one of this year’s biggest sellers. It’ll definitely be worth checking out whether Lady A can challenge Lil Wayne and Lady GaGa for the best selling sales […]

Metal Monday Volume 35 (9.12.11)

Album Reviews / Metal Monday / music / New Releases / Videos

Let me start off with this, I got into Anthrax during John Bush’s tenure. I know Persistence of Time, State of Euphoria, Among The Living, etc. well but I’ve always liked Bush better. That said, I was very cautious coming into Worship Music because this is not MY Anthrax anymore. That said and with a biased opinion already laid out, I can say that this is one un-fucking-believable Anthrax album. Worship Music is such a metal as fuck album that […]

It’s Gettin’ Better, Man! (Anthrax Round 2)

Metal Monday / music / New Releases / rock music

Ok, this definitely sounds aLOT better than “Fight ‘Em Til You Can’t” but I can’t help feeling that this was all written with someone else in mind. It’s got that crunch of Bush-era ‘Thrax and that breakdown in the middle is totally something that John Bush would’ve dominated on Sound Of White Noise. It probably doesn’t help that I’m not a Belladonna fan to begin with but anyone who’s’ stuck with Anthrax over the last 15 or so years can […]

Anthrax Isn’t Bringing the Noise With This One

In a word: Nope! Anthrax is back after 8 years with the much-delayed Worship Music finally slated to be released this September. Long story short, Anthrax ditched Joey Belladonna’s replacement John Bush shortly after We’ve Come For You All was released/toured for a reunion of the classic line-up. Joey and Dan Spitz left the group again who then recruited unknown Dan Nelson to be the singer for what would become Worship Music. Something happened and a “he said/she said” war […]
