Cypress Hill - "Rise Up" [Song Review]
Who’s one of the greatest hip hop groups ever? Cypress Hill really requires no introduction since everyone and their grandmother recognizes the phrase “insane in the membrane.” It’s hard to believe but Cypress Hill has been together now for over twenty years and has sold nearly twenty million records in that time.
Blessthefall - "Witness"
It took a line up change and the signing of final record contract papers with Fearless Records for this album to come see the light of day. And it’s probably for the best. The talent this band has is undeniable; they gel so well and with that they crafted a fine-tuned album. Charged with double-bass pumps, aggressive vocals paired with…
Dommin - "Love Is Gone"
Back in 2009, when Roadrunner Records released the news of a new band called Dommin, I was excited and immediately found myself seeking them out. When I finally found them, I took a quick glance at their promo picture and my first impression was that this was going to be a lame gothic band. Was I wrong! Immediately after…
It's Alive - "Pieces" [Song Review]
“Rock N' Roll ain't dead. It’s Alive!” Indeed it is. It’s Alive are a four-piece rock band from Lake Mary, Florida and their latest single "Pieces" should do little more than completely blow you away. The song was released digitally at the beginning of this month and will no doubt be a resounding success.
Kalki Avatara - "Mantra for the End of Times"
Mantra for the End of Times, the newest disc from Kalki Avatara is an amalgamation of classical piano and guitar, choral arrangements and guttural growing of the highest order. I found this disc extremely difficult to listen to for a number of different reasons. First of all, I found Hell-IO Kabbalus’ vocals so irritating and…
Lauren Harris - "Calm Before The Storm"
Calm Before The Storm is the debut CD from Lauren Harris. I had heard the early buzz on this disc and was eagerly anticipating its arrival. What I found when I popped this disc into my player was quite notable and frankly better than expected. Ms. Harris' voice is extremely versatile, it is powerful when the situation dictates but…
Mower - "Make It A Double"
When I first began listening to Make It A Double I was completely taken aback, I had not heard of these guys and was honestly not expecting it to be half this good. Nevertheless, once the disc got rolling, I found myself drawn into Mower’s world and I didn’t want to leave.
The Product - "Break the Silence" [EP]
I likey! Can I just end the review at that? I was immediately, pleasantly surprised with the vocals; vocalist BJ Perry is darn good! The first song and title track "Break the Silence" pleased me vocally, the second just as much and all the way through the rest of the CD. Initially, when I saw the cover art, I was thinking: "okay this could be an okay effort."
President - "The Storm" [Song Review]
Quebec has recently been offspringing copious amounts of deathcore bands. From the ashes of Tears From The Sky and Camilla Rhodes comes a new band named President. Using the fan base they had from their previous works, they have been growing in fame at a rapid pace. They also use past experiences to create their perfect blend of deathcore.
On Burning Shores - "Common Ground"
Back in 2009 I did a show review for Winds Of Plague. At that show I became a fan of one of the opening bands; none other than On Burning Shores. A few months later I got their CD Common Ground. Now that I own this record, I will be able to sing along next time I see them. Breakdown...
