My Top Albums of 2018

  Another year has passed. This time I wrote no reviews and I apologize for thinking I can just come in like this and share my opinion of what my favourite albums were this year, but it’s something I look forward to every year. I actually hope to find time in 2019 to get back

My Top Albums of 2017

I’m back, just temporarily for now. Yes, I really don’t review much these days because of time restraints, but the future still holds many albums to be reviewed by me. When that will happen is something I couldn’t tell you right now. Could be in a few months, could be next year, but I still

A Breach of Silence “Secrets”

Secrets is the name of the upcoming third album by A Breach of Silence. I must be doing something right because for the third time I was asked to review it. Whether or not I am doing something right, you can bet the band is doing plenty. The transition between their first album Dead or

Sages “Sleepwalker”

What do you call metalcore music that doesn’t really have a lot of screaming at all? Sages certainly aren’t a metalcore band, but this thought occurs to me when I listen to their album Sleepwalker. I mean, just like any subgenre, metalcore has meant many different things for many different bands and has evolved (really

My Top 10 Albums of 2016

2016 has proven to be a year to forget in respect to my reviews. The amount of albums I accepted and committed to reviewing completely overwhelmed me to the point of practically hiding myself and only coming out every once in a while. This includes writing reviews for the other two great sites that I

Avenged Sevenfold “The Stage”

It’s about time I review this album. Avenged Sevenfold‘s The Stage was one of the 2016 releases I anticipated the most, even though nothing much about it, including its name or even its release date was correctly known until the very day it was released. This once pure metalcore band left us with a controversial

Bloody Hammers “Lovely Sort of Death”

In 2014, thanks to Metal Nation Radio (one of the two other great sites I write for) I was given Under Satan’s Sun by Bloody Hammers to review. I had no prior knowledge of the band before that, even though they had previously released a self-titled album, but I was immediately struck by their very intelligent doom

Volbeat “Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie”

Here’s another review done a few weeks too late, but like every time I do that, it’s because I think the album is really worth writing about. This time it’s Volbeat‘s new album Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie. Volbeat, one of today’s biggest metal bands, is the kind of band that couldn’t possibly release

Electric Citizen “Higher Time”

It’s pretty widely known that just about every metal band, no matter how impossible it is to imagine, has Black Sabbath as their root. Even if bands don’t realize it. Often times these bands don’t realize that these bands that they admire started off playing Sabbath covers or grew up admiring Tony Iommi‘s guitar riffs

Blated To Static “Blasted To Static”

I mainly know Jeff Martin as a drummer thanks to his stint in one of my favourite bands Badlands. However, I was well aware of his past as a vocalist, most particularly for speed metal band Racer X. His involvement as the lead vocalist for the newly anointed Blasted To Static is what drew me
