Arkaea
Album review by Trey on 2009-07-10

Fear Factory with a metalcore vocalist. Threat Signal without the good musical ideas.
Killswitch Engage
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2009-07-05

A flub, pure and simple. Let's hope Killswitch Engage re-evaluate their new direction and choose to go back in the old direction.
Abigail's Ghost
Album review by Trey on 2009-07-01

The band return with their sophomore album and a sound that is more their own.
Witchbreed
Album review by Trey on 2009-06-29

Female-fronted gothic rock that focuses on heaviness and great riffs.
Graveworm
Album review by Trey on 2009-06-26

Their best since Scourge of Malice. Solid goth-influenced black metal.
Darkest Hour
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-06-22

Aggressive, dark, catchy, and fun, The Eternal Return is a worthy addition to Darkest Hour's discography.
Dream Theater
Album review by Trey on 2009-06-19

Dream Theater expand their metal influences and deliver a collection of actual songs in the process.
Regina Spektor
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-06-17

The simple fact behind Regina Spektor's music is that she can do no wrong.
Voivod
Album review by Trey on 2009-06-15

Despite a few weak moments, Infini is a great final representation of the band and their quirky take on progressive metal.
Wumpscut
Album review by Trey on 2009-06-09

Much more than a re-issue. This 1995 electro-industrial classic has been completely re-recorded with help from Haujobb and Stillste Stund.
Eyes Set to Kill
Album review by Trey on 2009-05-31

Eyes Set to Kill still have some growing to do, but this album is proof that they're up to the challenge.
Taking Back Sunday
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-05-28

Taking Back Sunday finally feel like accomplished, skillful songwriters instead of a band driven by a few clever lyrics and a sarcastic deliver
Gnostic
Album review by Trey on 2009-05-27

With three current members of Atheist you might think you know what to expect, but this is still a surprise.
Soundtrack (Video Game)
Album review by Frenchy on 2009-05-26

Essentially, the Super Metroid soundtrack is video gaming’s finest hour, (literally).
Coalesce
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-05-22

Sorry blink-182, this is the comeback of the year.
Amorphis
Album review by Trey on 2009-05-20

Amorphis move farther into progressive rock with unfortunate results.
mewithoutYou
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-05-18

Learn the words, sing along, and be happy. Seriously.
Old Man's Child
Album review by Trey on 2009-05-18

Heavier, catchier, more aggressive and without any keyboard overkill.
Fear of God
Album review by Trey on 2009-05-13

Sinister and heavy featuring the tormented vocals of Dawn Crosby.
Closure in Moscow
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-05-09

Meat-Pied in the Kangatorium
The Gathering
Album review by Trey on 2009-05-06

Anneke Who?
Conor Oberst
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-05-05

I wish it were still 2003 so Conor Oberst didn't suck.
Zao
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-05-04

Zao's signature sound is now unfortunately starting to blend into the mass of recent metalcore bands.
The Birthday Massacre
Album review by Trey on 2009-04-30

Near-flawless live album but who cares?
Lacuna Coil
Album review by Trey on 2009-04-14

Some might not like another change in direction, but this one suits them better.
Trespassers William
Album review by Trey on 2009-04-09

Trespassers William explore the abstract side of shoegaze.
