Breed Machine
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-19

Many listeners are going to get hit full in the face by this atmospheric, groove thrash effort. Violent and full of rage ‘3’ will have listeners captivated through its many turns.
Hooded Menace
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-04-18

Take the crushing riffs of Worship, the brutality of Incantation, the atmosphere of Winter, and mix it with some horror movie themes...and you have one hell of an album from a band named Hooded Menace.
Uncanny
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-04-17

Brutal and melodic Swedish old-school death metal? Yes please.
Sum 41
Album review by on 2011-04-14

Screaming Bloody Murder is like a steaming pile of garbage: anyone with a brain larger than a fly’s should be repulsed by it.
Clint Mansell
Album review by on 2011-04-14

Dark and penetrating, Black Swan’s official soundtrack conjures up every disturbing moment from the movie as well as some delicate brushstrokes of classical ballet.
Disturbed
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-14

From a musical standpoint ‘The Sickness’ is in no way a remarkable album, but at times it can be as catchy as hell.
Blessed by a Broken Heart
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-13

After a disappointing effort on their ‘All Is Fair in Love and War’, Blessed by a Broken Heart step up their personal quality levels in a positive manner.
Skold
Album review by Trey on 2011-04-12

This album was supposed to live up to its name, but instead Tim Skold returned with a surprising return to the hard-edged industrial that made his final album with Shotgun Messiah so good.
Believer
Album review by Trey on 2011-04-12

Believer has never been a band that revisits the past, and that has never been more apparent than now. Transhuman showcases the band with a whole new sound and a fresh vocal approach.
Stone Sour
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-09

Stone Sour further develop their clean, radio friendly rock sound giving the mainstream rock fans something to look forward to whilst receiving mixed results from the hard rock/metal genre base.
Slipknot
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-08

Iowa’s nine piece metal out-fit bring a thick, raw and crunchy sound to the metal masses using masks, jumpsuits and an almost unique combination of sounds creating a metal record that is angry, new and somewhat innovat
Vigilante
Album review by Trey on 2011-04-07

The first really good industrial metal album of the year, in large part due to the abundance of guest musicians.
Diego Garcia
Album review by on 2011-04-06

A summer breeze...
2562
Album review by on 2011-04-05

Where 2562 attempts to glue dubstep's fractured identity back together
Dommin
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-04-05

Newcomers to the gothic rock genre have something to say and Dommin’s message is that “Love Is Gone”
Katy B
Album review by on 2011-04-04

In case you didn't hear, Katy's on a mission. And luckily she passes it, but just.
Daft Punk
Album review by on 2011-04-04

The sequel no one saw coming accomplishes that rare task of managing to put the original to shame
Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie XX
Album review by on 2011-04-01

But I'm the closest thing I have to a voice of reason
Machinemade God
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-03-31

Mixing melody with varying levels of aggression is something listeners will notice is something they have heard before. However Machine-Made God makes the best from this combination as best they can.
Detroit Diesel
Album review by Trey on 2011-03-30

Detroit Diesel aren't going to win any awards for their typical harsh EBM sound or their steadfast adherence to a specific formula, but at the end of the day this is still a great album.
Mutiny Within
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-03-29

Newcomers to the metal genre Mutiny Within show great amounts of potential mixed with great technical ability.
Vicious Rumors
Album review by on 2011-03-28

Vicious Rumors continue to proudly nod to the old school.
Rise To Remain
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-03-27

‘Rise To Remain’ a very appropriate title for another new face of metalcore as they bring an E.P. to the table before releasing a full length debut album.
Burial
Album review by on 2011-03-27

Once upon a time it was you that I adore, but now you look different...
Within Temptation
Album review by Trey on 2011-03-25

What would happen if Within Temptation ever stopped focusing on overblown pomp and started creating songs that showcased the entire band? The answer is the best album of their career, The Unforgiving.
Sanctity
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-03-25

After being presented to Roadrunner Records by Trivium’s Matthew K. Heafy does Sanctity live up to or surpass the metal community’s expectations?
