Voivod
Album review by on 2012-08-17

In their 8th observation, Voivod establish a first contact with what’s beyond the outer limits.
Dance Gavin Dance
Album review by Charlie / iChuckles on 2012-08-16

Crass, upbeat, energetic and flat-out weird; these are all but a few adjectives that could aptly describe the latest studio album from post-hardcore rockers Dance Gavin Dance.
Seven That Spells
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-08-16

The soundtrack on the road to hell.
Chronic Future
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-08-14

Overflowing with originality, but try not to drown in it...
Shed
Album review by on 2012-08-14

The killer he may be, but by no means the killer elite
Black Light Burns
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-08-13

Because I want you to.
Yellowcard
Album review by on 2012-08-10

Growing up has just begun.
House of Spirits
Album review by on 2012-08-09

In their debut album, House of Spirits forge an excellent piece of power/prog metal, further enriching what late-‘80s-early-‘90s Queensryche had firstly endeavored.
Artifex Pereo
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-08-08

For every good part on this album, its bad doppelganger lurks...
Miroist
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-08-03

While The Pledge won’t take you on an unknown voyage into the scary black waters of metal, they are a sturdy ship on which to sail...
Eldritch
Album review by on 2012-08-01

In their fourth album, Italian progsters Eldritch stray away from prog/power metal in order to devise an incredibly catchy extreme metal hybrid.
Electric Jesus
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-07-31

Ridiculous band name aside, Desert Mouth is the start of something special...
Ryan Wall
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-07-30

A dark and emotionally evocative journey through psychology, insomnia, sleep, and coffee.
TNGHT
Album review by on 2012-07-25

Back alley cinematics and purple smoke ballin' from a dream production duo
The Antlers
Album review by on 2012-07-23

Take the plunge...
Barrier
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-07-23

Cutting away the bells and whistles tying up modern metalcore, Barrier issue a defiant challenge to return to honest, raw aggression.
Seven That Spells
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-07-23

Hell From Jazz
She Was the Universe
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-07-18

For a short period of time, it seemed like whales were the seal of maritime prog metal approval. Unfortunately, Whalesong mostly kills that stigma with a chaotic and confusing sound.
Tigers on Trains
Album review by on 2012-07-18

Tigers on Trains deliver another phenomenal indie-folk record and make it look easy.
Dirty Projectors
Album review by on 2012-07-12

A brilliant blend of the outer limits and the down-to-earth.
Frank Ocean
Album review by Frenchy on 2012-07-11

Firmly cements Frank Ocean's position as far and away the most talented member of the Odd Future collective.
Husky
Album review by on 2012-07-10

An interesting plunge into indie-folk’s experimental regions – one, however, that ends up feeling lost instead of resolute.
David Maxim Micic
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-07-04

From the get-go this EP grabs your attention and with a GI JOE kung fu grip, doesn’t let go...
Linkin Park
Album review by on 2012-06-29

Lost in the echo of their glorified past.
Periphery
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-06-28

Periphery changes their sound to focus on the melodic. More than being good or bad, it's mostly just different.
The Offspring
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-06-26

The Offspring slowly realize that a change in sound isn't necessary, as they are at their most effective when covering their own ground.
