Hellbound is always there, lurking in the crowd, while the band blisters the very air.

Destroyer 666/Vital Remains/Baphomet’s Horns/Revocation @ Club Hell, Providence, RI, September 29, 2009
There are very few bands which can inspire relentless, reckless hedonism in the same way Destroyer 666 can; their very essence screams out the wild whirlwind in all of us. Owning the stage from first note to last, guitarist/vocalist KK Warslut and Co. pushed the rabid Providence crowd to the brink of the precipice and…

Living Colour @ Lee’s Palace, Toronto ON, October 3, 2009
I was tempted to start this review by simply saying, “This show was fucking awesome,” but it was much more than that. You had four top-notch musicians on that stage, including singer and leather aproned-wearing Corey Glover (whom if you haven’t heard this man sing, and sing so passionately yet so effortlessly, you are sorely…

Down/Voivod @ Kool Haus, Toronto ON, Sept 18, 2009

Doro/Skullfist @ Annex Wreckroom, Toronto ON, Sept 11, 2009
In my opinion Doro is the best female heavy metal vocalist of all time; it was a real gift just to catch her for the first time back in June 2007 – that show was amazing but seeing her for the second time was like winning the metal lottery. Albert Mansour reviews the recent Toronto…

Nadja/Picastro @ the Tranzac, Toronto, ON, September 11, 2009
The lack of visual stimulation didn’t stop the audience from listing with rapt attention to the audio stimulation. They played what I believe was three songs (sometimes it’s a bit hard to tell when it’s an almost constant barrage of noise). I was pleasantly surprised how well the music translated into the live setting as…
