Years back there was a woman in Brooklyn, NY who gave birth to a baby boy. As he grew, he developed a particular set of skills that made him a nightmare to his peers. His confidence made him soar above expectations. With his chosen weapon in hand he would shoot for the stars and most times hit his target.  As a matter of fact, he became one of the greatest marksmen of all times.  What made him so great was […]

It’s been nearly three years since the aggro industrial metallers Combichrist released the superb Making Monsters and to pay fans back for the wait, they’ve released not one, but two, albums. No Redemption serves not only as a companion piece/soundtrack for the Devil May Cry video game but also as a 2-CD set featuring one disc of completely new material written for DMC and a second disc of previously released Combichrist tracks which could easily be a “best of” for […]

We’re a week into the new, short season of the NHL, but that didn’t stop fearless hockey fans Jay and Stephen from making a lot of rash judgments (Stephen more than Jay)!

Make no mistake, no band is making the kind of music that Ulterior make in this day and age. Dark,goth-y and reeking of the smell of dry ice, fog machines and clubs that have very strict dress codes on Friday nights, The Bleach Room is like the opening salvo of The Hunger on acid. Think ’8o’s era Ministry or Skinny Puppy fronted by the bastard child of Peter Murphy and John Lydon with the full use of today’s technologies put through […]

  There are quite a few releases that I’m looking forward to in the first quarter of 2013. The first to hit shelves is Beta Love, the third full-length LP from indie darlings Ra Ra Riot. Following 2010′s The Orchard, the last time we had a new release from the band was their excellent cover of Steve Winwood’s “Valerie” a Record Store Day 2012 exclusive release. Just over a month ago, the band leaked “When I Dream” in advance of the album. As I noted in our Singles Bar post on the track , “When […]

With an onslaught of great MA bands set to release new material this year (Killswitch Engage, Summoner, Jack Burton vs. David LoPan), it helps to be the first out of the gates and that’s just what Gozu has done with their latest, The Fury Of A Patient Man. Take a mixture of Kyuss, The Desert Sessions discs, Hermano, and mix it with some good old fashioned rawk and roll and you’ll know what Gozu’s The Fury Of A Patient Man […]

Both Mardi Gras and the Superbowl are around the corner. And you know what that means…the city of New Orleans will be swarmed with both visitors and local residents. Heck, you might even be one of those people out there celebrating for whatever reason. But say you’re from out-of-town…don’t worry, we don’t bite (the reputation is right and we are a friendly bunch)…and you don’t know where to go or want tips on what to do. Maybe you even live […]
