One of the heaviest, grooviest, hookiest, and more casually profound records you don’t want to slip under your radar dropped recently from Massachusetts groove-core/alt metal rockers Hyeena. Guitarist/vocalist Keith Holuk (ex-Ligeia), bassist Mike Verlizzo, and drummer Julian Fernandez have dropped one of the more memorable ragers in Proxima, capable of inspiring fanbases ranging from Bane to Bury Your Dead to more melodic stuff like 36 Crazyfists and Deftones. Each song feels alive with intent, fortitude and from the heart, capture the moment live sounding urgency. “Limelight” needs to be in your ears just as much as this band deserves the limelight right now.

ALBUM REVIEW: Brand of Sacrifice – Lifeblood – Blood Blast
Father forgive me because we have to talk about Brand of Sacrifice’s Lifeblood (Blood Blast Distribution). Listen, I really wanted to enjoy Lifeblood as we need to build up new stars in heavy music, but this simply isn’t it chief.

But as it stands, I cannot sanction this buffoonery.
