  • HELLBOUND RADIO: November 7, 2010 Playlist

    Here is what we played on the November 7th, 2010 edition of HELLBOUND RADIO

  • The Devin Townsend Project / TesseracT @ the Mod Club, Toronto ON, November 3, 2010

    “Everything about this show was carefully planned out, meticulously orchestrated. The sound was excellent and the lighting choices novel and interesting. Every aspect was carefully chosen to enhance the experience. Devin had a stark white light pointing upwards toward his face, catching every crease and shadow, emphasizing every ridiculous expression he contorted his unique features…

  • Creation’s End – A New Beginning

    The whole band are great musicians whom have played in and around the New York area with such bands as Zandelle, Circle to Circle and James Labrie. With all this talent it is refreshing to hear that they don’t really focus so much on the actual technical wizardry of the musicianship but on the writing…

  • Salome – Terminal

    Salome’s second full-length is definitely worth the patience and the introspection, and a very strong contender to be on the top of many “Best Album” lists this year

  • War From A Harlots Mouth – MMX

    It seems to me that there are two possibilities here. Either MMX was done with a lot of thought and they over analyzed it or they were as fucking high as Hunter S Thompson.

  • Razor still cuts deep!

    Anvil mighta been Canada’s first thrash band, but Razor’s perhaps our most caustic. After all these years, Razor still cuts deep. And it goes without saying that I’m looking forward to their gig next Friday at El Mocambo, a venue quite dear to my heart…

  • Dimmu Borgir – Abrahadabra

    Abrahadabra is an incredibly cultured listen showing audible evidence of effort contributed, yet making you feel as though the work was generated on the spot.

  • Unearthly Trance – V

    There isn’t much in the way of standout tracks on this one, but rather a continuous, pummelling, ear-pounding assault that only seems to get slower as the album nears its conclusion.

  • Nashville Pussy/ Civet @ Crocks, Thunder Bay ON, October 26th, 2010

    “Having just endured a 10 hour power failure and one hell of a fall storm (90 mile an hour gusts of wind, seriously cold rain) I needed a bit of a party. Thankfully it was easily found at Crocks…” Jason Wellwood endures the elements and gives us his take on the recent Thunder Bay appearance…

  • Star One – Victims of The Modern Age

    The album feels dark, but overall it leaves you with a positive feeling, positive that Lucassen is a fantastic musician/writer/lyricist and he knows exactly how to put together an amazing album and get incredible results from his guests.
