Dark New Day
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-05-05

A debut album that shows many signs of experience, however in-consistent at times. However there are some disappointing flaws over the length of the album.
Decree
Album review by Trey on 2011-05-05

Decree aren’t here to coddle or comfort. They’re here to bludgeon you with the kind of raw, pounding anger that used to flow through the veins of almost every industrial band.
Daedelus
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-05-03

Bespoke sees Daedelus trying to incorporate too many ideas into one small package, some of them brilliant, others tired and overused. The end result is an enjoyable product whose contrasting genres occasionally clash.
Danzig
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-05-03

Released in the next year after Danzig’s formation, this debut, self-titled effort may just be one of the groups’ best releases to date.
Manchester Orchestra
Album review by on 2011-05-02

What if we’ve been trying to get to where we’ve always been?
Eye Empire
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-05-01

An album that’s inconsistent in places but needs repeated listens before being fully appreciated.
The Airborne Toxic Event
Album review by on 2011-05-01

All At Once rings with the sound of unfulfilled promise from a band that has lost its greatest strength…the ability to make meaningful music.
Sarah Fimm
Album review by Trey on 2011-05-01

Sarah Fimm has never been one to repeat what she has already done, and she isn't about to start now.
Jamie Woon
Album review by on 2011-05-01

While proving to be a success, Mirrorwriting also reveals that Jamie Woon might be riding the success of his famous friends to get him to the top
Beastie Boys
Album review by on 2011-05-01

The Beastie Boys throw out all the stops in hope for a return to form, but they still manage to miss the mark on a few occasions
Laura Stevenson
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2011-04-29

Floating urgently.
Behind Crimson Eyes
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-29

Get your ‘wife-beaters’ and thongs out, we're going to need them. This is not for everyone.
Samael
Album review by Trey on 2011-04-29

Samael return to the sound that made them great.
As I Lay Dying
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-27

Whilst improving record to record, As I Lay Dying show fans an enjoyable album but do not completely show growth in a positive manner, this album is something listeners may have not completely heard, and maybe are still
KMFDM
Album review by Trey on 2011-04-27

KMFDM have finally taken the band off of autopilot and return with a diverse album that maintains their core industrial sound while finally expanding on it as well.
Sleepingdog
Album review by on 2011-04-26

With their latest LP, Sleepingdog has once again created an album that will haunt our ears, engage our minds, and ultimately embrace our hearts.
Royal Thunder
Album review by on 2011-04-25

In their debut EP, Royal Thunder are letting their bluesy heavy rock demons loose.
Yellow Eyes
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-04-24

Definitely a sleeper pick for black metal in 2011.
Lanu
Album review by on 2011-04-24

Lanu’s brand of breezy, charming indie-pop may make for the feel good summer album of the year.
Boxcutter
Album review by on 2011-04-24

Boxcutter's latest finds him still playing with the fantastic ideas that have been prevalent throughout his career, but now strangling them with indecision
Swarms
Album review by on 2011-04-21

One of the most dynamic and beautiful debut albums to have ever been released, Old Raves End may just end up stealing 2011's heart
Soulfly
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-21

While there is nothing new by Soulfy’s standards, this is a more interesting and positive release made by the ‘nu-thrashers’.
Street Chant
Album review by on 2011-04-21

Street Chant offers a glimmer of hope to the waning punk genre, and makes a bid as one of the best rising acts of the still young decade.
Mnemic
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-21

A face in the industrial metal genre and while using features noticeable from the genres pioneers Fear Factory and others, including some features they themselves have brought to the table, Mnemic create a diverse howeve
In The Nursery
Album review by Trey on 2011-04-20

Elegant, powerful, brooding and poetic. Another excellent mix of neo-classical instrumentation, electronics, poetic lyrics and a subtle modern rock foundation.
About Group
Album review by on 2011-04-19

About Group plays the first thing that comes into its head, with compelling results and surprisingly complex atmospheres.
