Taking Ourselves To Task - Additional Essentials

Yes, we know that we skipped some of your favorites in our compilation of the 100 Most Essential Albums of the 1990s. We feel your pain. One of the drawbacks to our democratic voting process was seeing some of our own favorite 90s releases left out in...

Staff Infections - October 2011

Over the past month, the MetalReview staff has been spinning a diverse palette of new releases. While there's been no clear-cut playlist dominator (a la Absu last month), two albums in particular seem to be receiving a lot of love: Azarath 's...

Darkthrone: The 90s Essentials Interview

[Welcome to the ninth--and final--entry in our 90s Essentials interview series. As can be likely gleaned from the logo perched above this text, Fenriz of Darkthrone is the subject of this final interrogation, and he reflects on A Blaze in the Northern...

Reverend's Bazaar - The Internet: It Exists

It's 2011. The Internet has been in general use since the early 1990's. The popularity of MP3s began to rise in 1997. It has been fourteen years since the advent of digital music, but record labels are still left dumbfounded, dicks in hand, when...

Eleven Duos That Eviscerate The White Stripes

In case anyone missed it--and you probably did-- The White Stripes broke up last week . This came as quite a surprise, if only because I thought they'd split up years ago, an admission that demonstrates my relative indifference towards the act's...

Reverend's Bazaar - The Return

2010 is finally behind us...and good riddance. Despite a rather festive end to the year here at MRHQ (our staff-wide blitz of Best of 2010 features was a major factor in contributing to this column's lengthy layoff), the last year contained an especially...

Jeremy Morse's Top 20 of 2010

What can you say about a year that took not only Ronnie James Dio from us, but Peter Steele and Armando Acosta as well? Fuck you, fuck off, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, that’s what I say. As far as 2010 releases...

John Ray's Top 20 of 2010

I've seen a lot of folks talking about how weird 2010 has been. And how shitty. I don't know how I feel about it yet, except that it went too fucking fast. Or maybe not fast enough. Fuck it. I don't have a clue. What I'll remember most...

Chris Chellis' Top 20 of 2010

2010 has proven to be a tumultuous year for the vast majority of us. It's times like these when we cling to things that bring us comfort, provide escapism or simply entertain. In short, these are just twenty of those things for me. And while whittling...

Michael Wuensch's Top 20 of 2010

Adios, 2010. On a personal level, you were a bastard of a year that I'm happy to finally see in my rear-view mirror. If I could throw a bag over Father Time's head and bust him in his ancient stones for dishing out so much grief to the people...

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...

Juho Mikkonen's Top 20 of 2010

As one of the perks assigned for a non-reviewing member of the Metal Review staff team, I get to enjoy a lot of the freedom that most of my colleagues here are deprived of. Basically, when I bust out an album, I can exploit the whole gamut of music as...

Jeremy Witt's Top 20 of 2010

Looking now at my top three spots, it occurs to me that all of those bands would have very likely made my Top Ten Of 1986 and also of 1988, had I done such things back then as rank records. (I was nine or eleven then, and only barely dipping into metal...

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...
