  • Best of 2011

    Ok so here it is. Not really presented in any sort of order, but I'll try to make a few comments on each one. Mastodon - The Hunter: Never reviewed this one, but definitely my favorite album of the year. Upon first listen I thought "is this it...

  • This Has Been A Crappy Year

    Not in my personal or professional life, as those have been pretty good. I got married over the summer and my job is okay. I'm talking about music. I was going through my iTunes a little bit ago, trying to prepare a list of my favorite albums for...

  • Not So Fast and Some Evile

    I was fully expecting/planning to update this more regularly when I started posting again a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, "real life" always seems to get in the way. Needless to say, if anyone is even reading this, I'll try to post...

  • I'm back?

    Even though I visit the site on a daily basis, it's been over two years since I've logged in and looked at this blog. It took me about 15 tries to remember my username/password combination. Anyway, since I've been in a writing mood and feeling...

  • Lamb Of God and Tombs

    Lamb Of God - Wrath (7/10): Before I type out this review, let me just say I am a Lamb Of God fan. I first heard of them when "As The Palaces Burn" was released, and thought it was a great record. "Ashes Of The Wake" was a good record...

  • There Has Been Blood

    Yeah, I know lame title for this post. I'm too tired to think of something good. Yesterday my dog and I ran in a 3K and finished 2nd with a time of 11:16. I think that's pretty good, considering we won last year and knocked over a minute off of...

  • New God Forbid

    I received Earthsblood in the mail today, and after a first listen I must say... eh. I must say I really can't say anything just yet. This is an album that's going to take a bunch of listens to fully comprehend... there's a lot going on here...

  • Fall Of Serenity Breaks Up

    The title says it all. Just found out this morning that Fall Of Serenity broke up. That's a shame, as they were one of my favorite melodic death metal bands, and arguably one of the best out there. Oh well, shit happens I guess. If you haven't...

  • Cannibal Corpse and 16

    Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague (7.5/10): Cannibal Corpse have released their 11th album, and I guess it's going to take a true fan of the band to point out the subtle differences between this album and their last release, "Kill"....

  • I'm Still Going to Eat Meat

    Cattle Decapitation - The Harvest Floor (9/10): I never paid attention to Cattle Decapitation until now. I wasn't really that much into death metal or grindcore or anything of the sort until recently and always took the band as somewhat of a joke...

  • Kreator and Satyricon

    I have some time at work this morning, so I thought I'd write a couple of quick reviews of some stuff I've listened to the last week. Kreator - Hordes of Chaos (8/10): I have to admit, I've never been much of a Kreator fan. It's not that...

  • Slow Getting Back To It

    I know I promised to start back into this in earnest once the new year started, but I've failed miserably. Much of it has to do with the fact that I only have time to write during down-time at work, and my wireless internet connection has been down...

  • Top Ten of 2008

    Yeah so it's been a long time since I've posted here. Unfortunately, real life has intervened and kept me from writing about what I love most, metal. I did have a chance to compile what I thought were the best albums that I heard this year......

  • Amon Amarth and Misery Index

    Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God (9/10): Are Amon Amarth the best metal band in Sweden? I'd have to make the argument that they are. My expectations were high after With Oden on Our Side, one of my favorite albums from 2006; while this album...

  • Trivium Are Boring

    Trivium - Shogun (5/10): I've tried to start this review several times, but I just don't seem to have the energy to try anything witty. Let's cut to it... this album is boring. From the uninspired riffs to the bland production to the crappy...
