    By Rob Hughes Black Wizard’s second album teems with heavy rock majesty, with grime-caked riffs from start to finish. The members of Black Wizard all perform with other bands (including Three Wolf Moon, The Hookers, and Anciients) but when they get together, it’s magic.

  • Church of Misery – Thy Kingdom Scum

    Hellbound Metal: “Hey, I know they’re pretty much preaching to the choir at this point; I’ve been worshiping at the Church of Misery for quite some time now. That said, for fans of fuzz-heavy doom, I repeat: this is better than the new Black Sabbath.”

    Common law never sounded so exceptional!

  • The Grammy’s are a joke. In case you need to be reminded, here’s why…
