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...

Reverend's Bazaar - The Ballad of Mel Kiper, Jr.

Everyone wants to predict the future. Are they excited by the unknown? The romanticism of unattained heights and shimmering potential? Or is prognostication a wholly selfish undertaking, a risk-free gamble that pays out in gloating and goading: "See...

Woe - A Treatise on the Elite

At long last, the perpetually nascent USBM scene seems to be coming to a boil. In stark contrast to the late 90's, when the words 'United States' and 'black metal' typically triggered nothing but derision and half-hearted references...

Jordan Campbell's Top 20 of 2009

Another year in heavy metal...and what a year it was. It seems like every band on the planet released something in 2009; when Immortal , Absu , and Destroyer 666 all emerge from hibernation at once, it's a sign that things are things are getting ridiculous...
