Reverend's Bazaar - Chaos in Christville

It's been a slow news month, and it'll continue to bleed. In heavy metal circles, this is just the way it goes. Labels typically hold off on new releases until late January, and many astute scribes use this downtime to catch up on the 2011 releases...

Juho Mikkonen's Top 20 of 2011

To squeeze a whole twelve-month period – especially one that was as eventful as 2011 − into a list and a couple of paragraphs is always a pain in the jolly ol’ crapper. Having said that, I can only look back with awe at all sorts of...

Reverend's Bazaar - Eleven Months? That's Enough

Greetings, humans, and welcome to the final Bazaar of 2011. We're closing the doors early this year, as this bi-weekly shitshow will be preempted by our comprehensive-as-fuck Best of 2011 rollout in mid-December. In the meantime, I'm being shipped...

Reverend's Bazaar - Mid-Year Label Report

2011 is officially at its halfway point. Instead of shitting out a recap of the year's mightiest releases (or the year's most pathetic missteps, as this column has been more apt to compile) a mid-year record label report seemed like a more interesting...

Konrad Kantor's Top 20 of 2010

This December marks the end of a long, tiring and treacherous year. Most unfortunate were the deaths of many of our favorite musicians, as well as an abnormal amount of tragic events that happened to many individual members of the Metal Review staff....

Zach Duvall's Top 20 of 2010

What a year... I don't know if I just paid more attention in 2010 due to free time or if this much stuff really did blow me away, but I never remember listening to and devouring this much metal within a 12 month period. For me, this year saw lots...

Jordan Campbell's Top 20 of 2010

2010 was a weird year. While there was a ton of heavy metal for the taking (the disparate lists of my colleagues will attest to this), I didn't really have much time to digest it. Life, as they say, is a bitch. So, while there was a serious influx...

Conventional Metaldom - Inaugural Edition

In the interest of forthrightness, it must be stated that this series will be a complete rip-off of Newsweek 's ever-popular ' Conventional Wisdom ' sidebar. But, seeing as we're immersed in a world of Bolt Thrower s and Burzum ites, originality...

Alcest in Chicago: 4.24.2010

Amazing. Amazing that my route to Reggie's Rock Club drags me right through Angels & Airwaves territory tonight. They're playing The Aragon Ballroom here in Chicago, so I'm sitting in the bumper-to-bumper with minivans lining the block...
