Roadrunner United review to come (it’s not bad, but not great). Plus, just bought the new Children of Bodom, which sounds promising. More to come.

Stop Gap Measures
October 28, 2005Episode IV: A New Hope for Danko Jones
October 19, 2005Preemptive strike: Yes, we are Danko Jones fanboys, so suck it.
Back in the day, Danko was supposed to play Iota in Arlington, but the show was cancelled. More recently, they opened for Our Lady Peace at the 9:30 Club in DC and nobody noticed because… well… it was Our Lady Peace after all. We’re not [...]
Bullet For My Valentine: Hand Of Blood
October 18, 2005This album is an EP, but non the less, a fuckin kick ass piece.
Six songs in total, but I love the $5.99 I spent on I-tunes for it.
Heard it on the cable metal channel while packing for my Vegas trip. I think it was “hand of blood”… but if you download it off I-tunes, they [...]
Idle Hands Make Work for the Devil
October 17, 2005For those of you playing along at home, Devildriver’s “The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand” is still the best metal album of 2005… which means, by default, that it’s the best overall album of the year. Everyone knows that non-metal albums don’t fucking qualify.
I’m still waiting patiently for something new to dethrone Dez and company. [...]
Soulfly: Dark Ages
October 12, 2005Band website: http://www.soulfly.com/
Before I begin, you must acknowledge the following facts: 1) I generally like Sepultura; Ratamahatta is way badass; Chaos A.D. is way badass (ter-EE-tory!). 2) I never really dug any of the Nailbomb action. 3) Soulfly have been around since the dawn of time (okay, 1997), yet this is their first album I [...]
Ill Niño: One Nation Underground
October 12, 2005Band website: http://www.illnino.com/
Quick & Dirty Review: If you love Ill Niño, then you will like this release. If you’ve never heard them before, you may like it. If you’re looking for something new and different from the boys, then you will be disappointed.
Let’s check the stats:
Thumpy in places
Sing-songy in places

Slacking
October 11, 2005I owe reviews of new Ill Nino, new Soulfly and new Roadrunner United (out today). Damn… I’m a lazy bitch.
Clutch Concert Review
October 6, 2005Holy shit, I’m waaay late in posting this… the show was on Sept. 23, 2005. From Fury Operative and fellow Clutch fanatic, The Third:
Last Friday night’s performance by Clutch at the Sonar Lounge was an example of what “Pure Rock Fury” truly means! Their sound was tight, precise, and heavy the way you would expect [...]
