Kittie: Until The End

I have a soft spot – a G-spot, if you will – for chick metal and chick punk. Can’t help it. I dig chicks, I dig guitars, I dig chicks with guitars.

There’s rules if you’re a chick with a guitar. Here’s a guiding principle: “If you don’t have the lung capacity to sound like the [...]

As I Lay Dying: Shadows are Security

Band website: http://www.asilaydying.com/
I’m sure As I Lay Dying would love to claim that their latest release—Shadows are Security—is “all killer, no filler”. Well, at least there’s no filler.
Cast in the mold of purely likable bands such as In Flames, Shadows Fall and (of course) Killswitch Engage, the band you hear on Shadows plays tight and [...]

Following up on the Fear Factory [...]

Respite for the Sick Boy

After talking out loud about the latest tune from Ill Niño, I listened to it four more times.
That one song is definitely something that I would put on max volume in the Blackura. Like Chimaira, however, I will not judge one way or another until the album is released.

Speaking of Sonar, Static-X headlines this [...]

Not Music Reviews

Yeah, so I got the new Dope, and Jello Biafra + Melvins. [xref]
I won’t bother to officially review either of those here on The Fury. Why?
1) Dope has never been a great band or a newish sounding band or anything like that. They’ve always been fairly indistinguishable from the Orgy/American Headcharge/Static-X amalgam that exists in [...]
