  • Corrections House – Hoax the System/Grin with a Purpose 7″

    By Gruesome Greg Always interested to hear what Williams, Kelly, Parker and company have got cooking, which in this case, takes the form of a seven-inch single. “Grin with a Purpose” is apparently Side A, with a bit of a Neurosis backdrop backing spoken-word poetry and the occasional, sparsely-interspersed guitar riff. Williams’ words eventually turn…

  • Delain – We Are The Others

    Delain – We Are The Others

    To start, some context: it’s rare when an album from within the amorphous power/gothic/symphonic/what-have-you metal category manages to keep my attention these days. I barely noticed Delain‘s first two full-lengths, Lucidity and April Rain. Tied to (or tied down) via their previous connection with sub-genre staple Within Temptation, and frequently featuring guest appearances from such…

  • Killing Joke – MMXII

    Killing Joke – MMXII

    In short, MMXII by Killing Joke is one mighty fine follow-up record to its illustrious predecessor. The album has all the hallmarks of a great record. It has the songs, boundless energy and all the apocalyptic themes to do for.

  • 70000 TONS OF METAL Cruise Recap Part 3

    Day three of our trip started out with the arrival at our boat’s destination: Cozumel, Mexico. It was a day off from music and a chance to go onshore in Mexico to check out the local surroundings and shops. For our third installment, Adrien, Kevin and Sean describe the day spent in Mexico before another…

  • 70000 TONS OF METAL Cruise Recap Part 1

    Last week the inaugural 70000 TONS OF METAL cruise sailed from Miami, FL to Cozumel, Mexico and back and featured live performances by forty-two metal bands. Hellbound.ca was lucky enough to have been able to send four of its contributors on the cruise and here is what they had to say about getting to Miami…

  • Gene Hoglan – The Atomic Clock DVD

    What the DVD does is allow the viewer to get to know Gene Hoglan, the drummer and the man. It’s an entertaining watch and I’d recommend it to non-drummers who still have an interest in Gene or Gene’s bands.

  • Umbah – Trilobeth

    Trilobeth doesn’t offer much of in terms of a focused style, but its seeming adaptability and multiplicity are its strengths. It’s a release that is a musical tribute to our technological and frenzied reality.

  • Mnemic – Sons of the System

    The problems I have with this record can be summed up in a few simple words: I’ve heard this all before.

  • Fear Factory – Mechanize

    It’s not clear at this point whether this new offering has enough unique staying power to ensure that, once the dust of its release has settled, its cuts will stand out from the rest of the band’s music. It’s a great listen for the first few times, but then it begins to feel a little…
