  • Overkill / Vader / God Dethroned / Warbringer / Evile / Woe Of Tyrants @ Dos Amigos, Odessa, TX, April 24, 2010

    Overkill focused upon their latest effort, Ironbound, clearly one of their best albums in years, and one of the best albums of the year thus far. And they did justice to classics like “Hello From the Gutter” and “Elimination.”

  • Kreator, Voivod, Nachtmystium, Evile @ Opera House, Toronto, ON, March 9, 2010

  • Cauldron: Chained to the Nite

    Having grown up on metal in Canada during the 1980s, the first thought that springs to mind upon hearing the debut album by Toronto trio Cauldron is, why in the hell couldn’t these guys have been around 24, 25 years ago?
