The kings of hardcore have returned to provide another brutal beatdown on all of their willing victims.
Lar Kaye
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-10-02

This is the EP of the guitarist of a band called Adebisi Shank...
Deadmau5
Album review by on 2012-10-02

Musical accomplishments go elsewhere
Resurgency
Album review by on 2012-09-30

Resurgency's debut album is a great example of old school US/Euro death metal, as it combines the best from both worlds.
Billy Talent
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-09-28

And the town gets some of its power back...
Portico Quartet
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-09-27

Hang em' high...
The Prize Fighter Inferno
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-09-26

Claudio Sanchez continues to impress with his electro-pop sensibilities intermingling with his prowess for innovation along progressive lines.
Mumford and Sons
Album review by on 2012-09-26

Mumford & Sons deliver Sigh No More Pt. II
Mala
Album review by on 2012-09-24

Mala's first release as a transient for Gilles Peterson might not be lacking in ideas and passion, but unlike its motive its execution is, at times, a little questionable
Green Day
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-09-23

Their most immature record is their most accessible one yet, but not their most representative.
Zippo
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-09-21

The darkest hour of the night comes just before the crack of dawn.
Synaptical Glitch
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-09-18

By incorporating heavy use of syncopation in a less conventional way and throwing in heavy smatterings of progressive influence, Synaptical Glitch create what may be the first noteworthy djent release in months.
November
Album review by on 2012-09-17

November’s debut album is an excellent piece of vintage rock and an essential source of inspiration for the contemporary breed of homologous acts.
Devin Townsend Project
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-09-14

The metal goes pop! But there's no soul inside to back it up.
First Place Science Project
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-09-14

I'm sure there's a new genre being pioneered somewhere here.....maybe..
ZZ Top
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-09-13

ZZ Top are still flyin' high.
Grave
Album review by on 2012-09-11

Grave’s marble is opened and a breeze of fresh air is introduced along with the putrefaction and the stench.
Success Will Write Apocalypse Across...
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-09-10

Despite some unconventional and excessively long names Success Will Write Apocalypse across the Sky release an album that is solid but will occasionally lose the attention of the listener.
The Gathering
Album review by on 2012-09-07

With nary a dull moment in their career, The Gathering progress their sound into alt-rock and ambient territory while crafting some of the year’s most flourishing atmospheres.
Imagine Dragons
Album review by on 2012-09-05

So polished that it slips right in one ear and out the other.
I am the Ocean
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-09-01

A small offering filled with a large amount of hope...
In Hearts Wake
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-09-01

Where typical meets contrast, not only to create interest; but also to display some well thought out ideas- before being repeated a couple of times.
I Am War
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-09-01

Surrounded by a tornado of undeserved vanity, Outlive You All is the bro-core album of the year so far...
Swans
Album review by on 2012-08-28

Swans unleash a new brand of hell on Earth: a feverish, post-apocalyptic beast that took thirty years to craft.
Just Like Vinyl
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-08-28

The sound of a band becoming an actual band..
Four Tet
Album review by on 2012-08-21

Pink is something of a victory lap for Hebden, and he'll be damned if he was ever going to release it any other way.
