Metal Monday Volume 89 (9.24.12)
It’s refreshing to hear bands like Battlecross and now Legacy Of Disorder putting out metal albums with absolutely no gimmicks. They’re the kinds of albums that are pure thrash and all about the metal. On their latest, Last Man Standing, New Zealand’s Legacy Of Disorder come off as the second coming of Metallica with a slightly harder edge. Air sirens open up “Thorns” and warns the metal community that LOD mean business as vocalist James Robinson does a Hetfield-esque growl […]

Metal Monday Volume 88 (9.17.12)
Devin Townsend definitely got the name right when brainstorming for his latest because “epic” and “loud” are definitely the best words to describe Epicloud. Yes, the hardest working man in metal and hard rock is back following the 4-album concept album released between 2010 and 2011, the collected edition box set Contain Us, and the just released By A Thread live box set that saw Townsend perform each of the four albums over four nights in London late last year. […]
The Viewfinder: Black Light Burns, “How To Look Naked”
Marilyn Manson has officially been dethroned as the king of shock thanks to Wes Borland, Agata Alexander, and Black Light Burns newest video. The first “official” single/video from the recently released The Moment You Realize You’re Going To Fall, “How To Look Naked” is a visual tour de force that is equally sexy and sinister thanks to the keen eye of director Agata Alexander and the always impressive Borland. Part mini-movie, part performance, and all twisted, “How To Look […]
The Viewfinder: The Kinected, “Hypnotize”
At first glance, it’s as if Peter Gabriel’s “Shock The Monkey” has been reborn in the 21st Century. Upon closer look however, you’ll see that the video for The Kinected’s “Hypnotize” is so much more (And with no monkeys to boot). They’re a little bit retro (Think INXS and Duran Duran) and a little bit modern (BLACK TAXI immediately comes to mind) with a whole lotta electro thrown in for good measure making for a killer combination. Vocalist/guitarist Alex Zapatier is […]
Metal Monday Volume 87 (9.10.12)
Two great tastes that taste great together. Obviously I’m talking about the UK’s earthtone9 covering Entombed’s “Wolverine Blues”. For those of you not already aware, the mighty earthtone9 have returned and are set to record the appropriately titled IV (It’s their fourth album!) full-length album next month. In the interim, they’ve decided to release a cover of the legendary Swedish metallers Entombed’s crossover hit “Wolverine Blues” While not indicative of the e9 sound, “Wolverine Blues” is still a hefty slab of […]
