OPEN KASKET – “Trials of Failure” Review
Ever hear a band and know exactly what they are going to be like to see live? That happened to me with Open Kasket. They’re the ones you’ll be sorry you missed the opportunity to see perform. While this group hailing from Arkansas, USA, Is a “new to me” band, I believe they might be…

Lacuna Coil – “Sleepless Empire” Review
LACUNA COIL- Sleepless Empire Review “Run.” Myself and this band took different paths long ago. I’ve got a great “Once Upon a Time” story that I’ll save for another article.

Harakiri For The Sky – “Scorched Earth” Review
Harakiri for the Sky is my favorite band. Not just recently, but all-time.

The Halo Effect – “March of the Unheard” Review
You miss the 90s era of Melodic Death Metal? Those days when you first discovered In Flames and Dark Tranquillity (first time in 25 years of doing reviews I have spelled Dark Tranquillity correctly… Somehow I never noticed there are two Ls in their name…lol)? Well, a scant 18 months after their incredible debut, The…

Am I in Trouble? – “Spectrum” Review
Am I Trouble is the solo project of Steve Weiner, who is also behind the project Negative Bliss, which put out an EP that I reviewed late last year. While it is a solo project, where Steve recorded all of the lead vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, and probably most other sounds you’ll hear, he did…
