Mind Equals Blown

Being from Massachusetts has its perks. Okay, I wouldn’t really know what that is like since I live in Michigan – a totally different place altogether. But living in the metaphorical shadow of a band like A Wilhelm Scream has probably rubbed off in one way or another on No Trigger, a band who in

There’s something peculiar about Blessed By A Broken Heart. In their combination of epic melodic passages and near mechanic metal-tinged riffage, the quintet comes off as a mixture of hair metal meets Dragonforce-lite. As for the product, the band’s new album Feel the Power is oddly interesting in an awesomely bad way. It’s like every

If you read my review of Hit the Lights’ EP Invicta, you know they released it with the purpose of stirring the pot for their eagerly awaited full-length of the same name.

Getting older is sometimes hard to do. Growing up can sometimes be harder. For a metal band, doing either can often spell certain doom, but for Whitechapel, the musically destructive, lyrically scathing deathcore outfit named after Jack the Ripper’s killing grounds, the path to realization and maturity has turned out seemingly every way but the

In their eleventh full-length disc, The Roots may not have much left to prove as musicians. However, their decision to take Undun down the path of conceptualism in the life-telling of our protagonist Redford Stephens is an ambitious one – especially considering some of the names attached to the band’s soulful, yet deep sounds. Undun doesn’t
