Album Reviews

  • Emmure – Look At Yourself

    I’m on record (probably) as saying that deathcore is my fast food; it’s dependable, never truly that horrible, never exceedingly great, and universal wherever you come into contact with it. Emmure’s Look At Yourself is the Hungry Jack’s promotion...

  • Copia – Epoch

    It seems to be a common occurrence these days for bands to alter their sound, whether it be a different feel for each album, or even delving into new genres. More often than not when this occurs, bands will...

  • Immolation – Atonement

    The crew from Yonkers, New York deliver an exquisite slab of death metal fortifying a career rivalling any of their more celebrated Floridian contemporaries. Ross Dolan (vocals and bass) and Robert Vigna (Guitar) have been ploughing the USDM field...

  • Protest The Hero – Pacific Myth

    I am a massive and committed fan of the more proggy/techy styles of heavy music. I remain a little unconvinced by these Canadians, however, even though they are 15 years and five major releases into a pretty damn prestigious...

  • Accept – Restless and Live

    This scribe’s initiation to Accept was via a cover of “Metal Heart” by Dimmu Borgir on their compilation album Godless Savage Garden, which was released in late 1998. Having not read the liner notes before listening to the album,...

  • Firewind – Immortals

    Five years ago Firewind released Few Against Many and while this was an album I was internally hoping that it was going to be an album that could give Firewind the fame and fortune that they deserve. That unfortunately...

  • Suicide Silence – Suicide Silence

    I’m going to keep this review brief, and as negativity-free as I can manage, and this isn’t because I’m a fan boy, or because I’m uncomfortable laying into a band (check out my review of Love Cream which HA...

  • Battle Beast – Bringer Of Pain

    I’ll admit part of me has always had an issue with power metal bands, simply due to the obscene similarities between every vocalist within the genre – however there is something different about Battle Beast. They have decided to...
