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

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

Megadeth “Dystopia”

I’m a little late in the game for this Megadeth review, but hey, I had a busy January. For years, it Megadeth fans have been longing for a return to the band’s glory days, when they were a defining force in the surge of thrash metal. They’ve shown signs of returning briefly on efforts such

Trivium “Silence in the Snow”

Trivium owe their success to timing. It was in the height of metalcore that they released their sophomore, and what many consider their finest album Ascendancy. It does stand out over a lot of other albums released from that era, but I think Trivium knew there is only so much you could do on a

Slayer “Repentless”

Slayer are one of those bands who, some may say, follow the same dynamic with every album. Even lead guitarist Kerry King has pretty much declared that he agrees to that. Such has really only been the case for the last few albums. Up until and including Season In The Abyss Slayer seemed to change

Top 10 Albums of 2013

originally posted on Wednesday, 18 December 2013 Something different today; I decided that rather than reviewing an album, I’d write an article based on my Top 10 albums of 2013. I figured I’d explain why each album made the list. And probably reiterate some of each albums best moments. Hope you enjoy, I’m definitely excited

Newsted “Heavy Metal Music”

originally posted on Saturday, 31 August 2013 Earlier this year, former Metallica bassist Jason Newted’s new band, simply titled “Newsted” released their 4-track debut EP Metal. Earlier in the summer I wrote an article about it, not actually aware that Metal was so quickly going to be followed up by a full length album. Considering I’ve already written an article

Megadeth “Super Collider”

originally posted on Saturday, 13 July 2013 In the seven or so months since I started this website, I’ve never been so nervous to write about an album. The reason being I’ve never disagreed more with fellow reviewers on an album. Megadeth have been an established metal band for a couple of decades now. Everyone knows the

Anvil “Hope in Hell”

Wednesday, 12 June 2013 The “Story of Anvil” sure was a popular one a few years ago in the wake of a documentary released about the Toronto metal bands career. If you haven’t seen it, here is all you have to know; it depicted yet another of the countless bands who set out to be the

Newsted “Metal”

originally posted on Saturday, 11 May 2013 Jason Newsted was always just a tad out of place in Metallica. He came in to the band just months after the death of bass legend, and arguably the best metal bassist to ever record an album, Cliff Burton. Immediately after joining the band he faced sort of an initiation by
