Paradise Lost
Album review by Trey on 2008-07-02

Despite being one of the forerunners of the genre, their debut album leaves a lot of room for improvement.
Fates Warning
Album review by Trey on 2008-06-30

The most significant reissue from one of the most influential progressive metal bands of the modern era.
Liv Kristine
Album review by Trey on 2008-06-27

Substandard pop rock smeared in sickenly cute melodies that do nothing other then display her limited vocal range.
Empyrium
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2008-06-26

Alright first of all, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a doom metal expert by any means. I only listen to a few bands in the genre, but after listening to this album I can tell you that I definitely want more. Emp
Longing For Dawn
Album review by Trey on 2008-06-25

Listening to funeral doom is actually not like watching old people fuck.
The Static Dynamic
Album review by Trey on 2008-06-10

Features the capable vocals of Jess Collins, the chunky guitar riffs of Christopher Lee (ex-Thought Industry), all complimented by soothing piano melodies and synth.
Astarte
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2008-06-03

Thought Industry
Album review by Trey on 2008-06-02

Thought Industry ditch the metal and focus their sights on creating weird, progressive songs within the context of alternative rock.
My Dying Bride
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-31

The experimental album that failed.
I Am Spoonbender
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-28

Progressive Lo-Fi featuring Dusin Donaldson of Thought Industry, Dave Edwardson of Neurosis, and Robynn Iwata of Cub... and it's free.
Impaled Nazarene
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2008-05-24

Moonspell
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-21

Moonspell are back with their heaviest, most consistent black metal influenced album ever. If you've written off this band before, it's time to give them another chance.
The Sugarcubes
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-20

Excellently fun and energetic music from Bjork and friends.
Testament
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-20

Testament aren't reinventing the wheel, but they do a great job integrating their early material with the more modern sound of their previous album, The Gathering.
Fair to Midland
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-18

Trade out some the epic feel of their latest album, and swap in some aggression and you have the debut album from Fair to Midland.
Skinny Puppy
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-18

The soundtrack to a band tearing itself apart.
Watchtower
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-18

Musically accomplished... vocally challenging.
Tiamat
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

Tiamat continue their generic gothic rock trend, but this time decide to rehash the generic doom of their initial few releases as well.
The Secret Meeting
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

A great collaboration between darkwave band, Collide, and electronica/shoegaze artist Dean Garcia of Curve.
The Orb
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

The Orb make a great return to the sound and elements that made their debut the classic that it deserves to be.
Ministry
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

Fun music the first few times, but the novelty wears off quickly.
Ancient
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

The soundtrack to the demise of a band that had such a promising future.
Fates Warning
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

This album is for die-hard fans only. The production is dated as are most of the riffs and vocals, but it is a good indicator of what was to come on the next album.
Blotted Science
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse) + Ron Jarzombek (Watchtower) + Charlie Zeleny (Behold... the Arctopus) = Much more than the sum of their parts.
Pennywise
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

Pennywise at their most forceful and focused. This is a band that is back at the top of their game.
Moonspell
Album review by Trey on 2008-05-17

One of the more amusing albums I've ever heard, too bad it wasn't supposed to be taken that way.
