This is the band's 4th studio effort and I feel it is a return to their roots; many songs remind me of the band's critically acclaimed self-titled release from 2001. As can be expected from American Hi-Fi the hook driven melodies are fantastic and stay with you long after the song is over. Here is what Jones had to say about the new release and what we can expect from the band in the near future.

This is the group's third full-length release and I feel it is a tighter, more mature record that really showcases the band at the top of their game. Fans of the genre should absolutely dig this disc. It is a fast, heavy and full on balls to the wall collection of killer tunes. Here is what Zimmerman had to say.

Guitarist Dan Briggs of the band Orbs took some time out of his incredibly busy schedule to speak with me about the band's newest release, Asleep Next To Science. Orbs is what I would call a ‘super group’ of sorts. Comprised of Dan Briggs (Between the Buried and Me), Adam Fisher and Clayton Holyoak (Fear Before), and Ashley Ellyllon from Cradle of Filth, the band has many different influences to pull from.

Interview with Magnetico guitarist Rafael Moreira
Magnetico is the latest project from guitar virtuoso, Rafael Moreira. The band's newest release, Songs About The World is a very solid, straight forward rock album that is accentuated by the incredible shredding of Moreira, which to me seems to be the focal point of this disc. He shreds through tune after tune leaving the listener spent and in awe. The man is talented and it is truly amazing what he can make his guitar do.

This is the band's sophomore release and a disc that I feel is more mature and more focused effort. In the band's bio, Brock describes the disc as, "leaner and more aggressive than the last album." The combination of hardcore and thrash, elements really make this disc an all out blistering assault from start to finish.

This is the group's first release on their new label, Wind-up records, and marks the beginning of a fresh new start for the band. While Skeletons definitely is a Hawthorne Heights record there is a bit more variety in the songs and the subject matter is a bit more serious and intense, making for a more mature and solid disc.
