The Viewfinder: The Cast Of Cheers, “Trucks At Night”
The best band you’re not listening to, The Cast Of Cheers, have unleashed their latest single/video called “Trucks At Night.”
Metal Monday Volume 96 (11.12.12)
It’s almost impossible for the deftones to make a bad album at this stage of their almost 20-year recorded career. However, it’s not impossible for them to continually raise the bar in heaviness with each album. On the bands seventh album, they have made the most solid and, quite possibly, best album of their career so far. Deftones albums don’t necessarily fall into the metal category all the time. Their benchmark album, White Pony (Which I still think is just […]
Metal Monday Volume 95 (11.5.12)
Five songs is all it takes for one to completely fall under the spell of North Carolina’s Irata. On their latest EP, produced by Kylesa’s Phillip Cope, the duo masterfully create a sonic maelstrom of tribal beats and intricate riffs that lay siege to listeners senses. Harkening back to grunge greats like Alice In Chains and Soundgarden (Think Dirt and Badmotorfinger in particular) yet filled with the stuff modern duo’s like Death From Above 1979 and Middle Class Rut bring […]
Metal Monday Volume 94 (10.29.12)
I don’t have a lot of regrets in my life but one of them is missing the last show that Isis played in Boston due to unforeseen circumstances. Regardless, I still love the band to this day and wear my Isis/Pelican/Tombs limited edition Shirts And Destroy tee from the last show I had the honor of witnessing proudly on a regular basis. Classifying the band as merely “metal” is often a disservice because once you hear them, it’s oh so […]
Spin Cycle: Blood Command, Funeral Beach
It’s rare that albums still come out that make the listener step back and say “Wow!” but that’s exactly the response Blood Command um, command, on their latest Funeral Beach. “Pissed Off And Slightly Offended!” is the perfect start to Funeral Beach. Angry, in your face and very anthemic, it’s a refresher for longtime fans and an awakening for new ones. With three EP’s and one full-length already under their collective belts, Blood Command are by no means novices but with Funeral […]

Spin Cycle: The D.O.T., And That

Spin Cycle: The Kinected, Evolution #9
The Kinected’s debut Evolution #9 is a slice of electro rock heaven.
Spin Cycle: 8mm, The Devil And Two Black Hearts
8MM is their name and countrified rock is their game as evidenced by their latest album “Between The Devil And Two Black Hearts.”
Metal Monday Volume 93 (10.22.12)
Ill Nino is the kind of band that I just can’t stop liking. Coming at the tail end of the nu-metal explosion, Ill Nino brought something different: A tribal ferocity that sounded unlike any of the bands they were compared to at the time. On their sixth album, Epidemia, Ill Nino sound even more urgent than that band that blessed fans with Revolution Revolucion back in 2001. “The Depression” is the most solid single and opener Ill Nino have written […]
Spin Cycle: The Cast Of Cheers, Family
The Cast Of Cheers bring something new with their full-length debut Family .
