Acid Witch
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-01-29

If you're someone who takes your music literally and completely serious, then fuck off.
James Blake
Album review by on 2011-01-29

This is James Blake, a man only loosely tethered to earth, now completely letting go.
Papercranes
Album review by on 2011-01-26

Say you have feelings for a shell, the ghost of me
EkoTren
Album review by on 2011-01-25

Lively, generic metalcore that will satisfy the casual fan but fail to impress beyond that.
Talib Kweli
Album review by on 2011-01-25

The one where Talib Kweli continues doing everything he's done before with similar results, but achieves nothing new in the process
Sepalcure
Album review by on 2011-01-24

Sepalcure steal the show by taking the script and replacing it with their own
Blackmore's Night
Album review by on 2011-01-21

An original idea executed in the most unoriginal way possible.
Rustie
Album review by on 2011-01-17

Rustie raises the bar by losing it in a maze
Impetuous Ritual
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-01-15

Pure evil has been brought to the face of the earth, in the form of Impetuous Ritual!
Submerse
Album review by on 2011-01-15

Submerse throws off the comparisons and finally realizes his full potential on Streams, a quintessential ode to turn of the century garage
Swans
Album review by on 2011-01-14

A heavily diverse concoction by Swans filled to the brim with complex layering, astounding production, and ominous undertones.
The Sun Came Up Upon the Left
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-01-12

Where the hell did these guys come from?
Dark Sanctuary
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-01-12

cold, cerebral music that entrances and leaves you breathless as Dame’s individualistic voice propels “Dark Sanctuary”, an album best left for those of us who enjoy deeply passionate music
Fell Voices
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-01-11

A solid debut from an atmospheric black metal band that has better days to come.
Fates Warning
Album review by on 2011-01-11

Fates Warning 8th album can be seen as the epitome of what Fates Warning do better than anyone, from “Perfect Symmetry” and forth. That is to provide us each time with an updated prog metal adaptation of the diary of
Dark Funeral
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-01-09

Unoriginal? Yes. Cliche? Absolutely. Catchy and surprisingly enjoyable album? Hell yes!
Jake Shimabukuro
Album review by on 2011-01-08

It’s ukulele time, motherfuckers!
Darkthrone
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-01-06

Darkthrone finally finds their sound within the punk metal genre and releases their best album of the new sound.
Secede
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-01-05

escapism!
ZZ Top
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2011-01-05

A great start for a new decade, ZZ Top show they still have the spark, and they play loose again for the first time in over a decade.
The Republic of Wolves
Album review by on 2011-01-02

The Cartographer is the perfect counterpart to this band’s debut album, retaining its most likable traits and injecting it with more hooks and melodic qualities.
Keith Merrow
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2011-01-02

Take Technical Death Metal, mix in a little Buckethead, strip away all interesting elements, and what you're left with is Keith Merrow.
Feed Me
Album review by on 2011-01-01

Enjoyable but nothing else; Spor's House project will reap the rewards but at what cost?
Weapon
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2010-12-31

Embrace da filth.....
Agalloch
Album review by on 2010-12-30

The Mantle is everything that you just can’t find the words to describe, and that is what makes it one of the most intriguing albums of the past decade.
Ved Buens Ende
Album review by on 2010-12-27

Ved Buens Ende forge their unique black metal, in the same way Jackson Pollock, the famous Abstract Expressionist painter, crafted his paintings.
