Never would I have ever thought to give a rating as high as a 9 and tie a band with my last 9 rating with Shadows Fall… until this release.
Gary turned me on to Devil Driver back in 2003… thought it was good shit. We saw them live @ Jaxx with Superjoint… even better live [...]

Devil Driver : The Fury Of Our Maker’s Hand
June 30, 2005Leave it to Tampa
June 27, 2005Having lived in Tampa a total of 11 years, and having seen countless metal shows in and around the area, this past weekend’s news of a fatal stabbing at the CoC concert at Masquerade (Ybor City) is reprehensible, yet unsurprising.
Florida is a weird mix of redneck natives and clueless transplants who view the state as [...]
Sinai Beach: Immersed
June 23, 2005Sinai Beach fucking sucks. Y’know… for Jesus.
Picky Motherfuckers
June 23, 2005So, I say that the latest Slipknot video is a fucking joke, and I catch a ration of shit from random Intarweb dickheads. I denigrate Avenged Sevenfold and Still Remains (with plans to slam Sinai Beach in the works), and I get nothing?
You fickle bitches.
Static-X: Start a War
June 23, 2005Band website: http://www.static-x.com/
This is my fourth Static-X album purchase; yes, call me a Static-X fan. Wisconsin Death Trip is still their best album. Thankfully, Start a War harkens back to harder WDT/Machine era Static-X and forsakes anything resembling poofier Shadow Zone (which I like, just not as much as the others). I’m still a Static-X [...]
Avenged Sevenfold: City of Evil
June 17, 2005Band website: http://www.avengedsevenfold.com/
After extensive “give it time to grow on you” listening… I can only guess that the band wants their fans to give them directions to the City of Evil. The title is a request! A new (but shitty) concept!
I loved their previous release, “Waking the Fallen”. Given it’s not that hardcore, at the [...]

Richard Cheese
June 11, 2005How is everyone this evening? Good? So glad you could join me.
Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine does lounge covers of popular metal, rock, and alternative hits. There’s Blink-182 and Alanis and Slipknot.
Yes, Slipknot.
It’s just mind-blowingly awesome. It’s cheesy and funny and ironic and.. Well, hey, I didn’t come here to drop all these [...]
Clutch: Robot Hive/Exodus
June 8, 2005Band website: http://www.pro-rock.com/
Disclaimer: I’m a superhuge Clutch fan, so take my review with a grain of salt. That said, you must believe me when I write this: If Clutch put out a shitty album, I wouldn’t give it a glowing review… I’d slam the fuck out of it. Given evidence to date, however, I just [...]
