ALBUM REVIEW: Devin Townsend – Powernerd
Everyone likes a challenge. Devin Townsend more than most. Each new record is about setting goals and attempting to achieve them. Whether it’s an introspective deep dive or an explosion of absurdist non-conformity, the progressive polymath’s albums always tend to reflect his state of mind, even if it happens to be completely barking at that particular time.Continue reading

Cookouts, final vacation trips, getting ready to close up the pool until Memorial Day weekend, the leaves start changing color, and the family reunion you didn’t know you needed until you got here takes place.

ALBUM REVIEW: Hyperdontia – Harvest of Malevolence
Genuine question here: how many folks listen to Death Metal strictly because of the vocals? Or let me rephrase, the growls and shrieks are the most important aspect to the listener?

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Milwaukee Metal Fest 2024 Part 2 – Live at The Rave

San Francisco Thrash Metal legends Testament has one of the best performances I had ever seen them give in years. Connecticuts’ own Hatebreed ignited the ballroom with numerous mosh pits throughout their set. Continue reading
