Rev's Chronicle of Deterioration

Grumblings in the Wake of an Afternoon at the Gym

It doesn't matter if I'm wearing headphones, tapping my feet, and scowling at the floor...some motherfucker that I don't want to talk to is going to strike up a conversation. Said "conversation" usually starts with the question,"Where...

Eavesdropping on Ignorance

Eavesdropping isn’t exactly my forte. I don’t know if I’m physically incapable of the act due to the hearing loss incurred by a lifetime of abuse via heavy metal, or if I’m simply so disinterested in the conversation of strangers...

Of Matt Birk and a Glimpse of Single Life

I have the house to myself this week. My fiancée, Jen, dipped off to the barren wasteland of Brainerd, Minnesota to attend a conference involving a bunch of drunken lawyers and some amateur sketch comedy. Compared to that, I'm in paradise....

Random Observations

The Ten Best Albums of 2008...

...(in this dude's not-so-humble opinion). To be fair, this list was complied before I heard Woe 's A Spell For The Death of Man and Bible of the Devil 's Freedom Metal . Those two amazing albums need some time to sink in before any alterations...

The 11th Hour

I watch cable news. Quite a bit of it, actually - some would argue to a degree of pointlessness. I talk about politics. Quite often, to be sure - whether it's at work, at home, or over the phone, the subject comes up often. So when I come to MetalReview...

Lucid Interval I: Communion

Now, while MetalReview hasn't significantly contributed to the buzz surrounding Septicflesh 's "comeback" album, Communion (okay, we didn't review it, so we haven't contributed at all ) this is not because it is undeserving of...

90 Degrees and Nothing To Do

This isn't a "serious" post, just a little bit of fuckaround to see how this shit works. I'm sitting in my office on a beautiful, sunnified day, waiting for the dryer bell to go "ding, motherfucker!" and for the clock to hit...
