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

In fact, there used to be two categories, Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance, before the academy decided to combine the two last year for the first time since 1989. What was so special about ’89? Well…

“Happy Valentine’s Day–I think we should see other psych bands!”

Suffice to say, the dudes in Quest For Fire must have a wicked sense of humour. I mean, who breaks up the day after Valentine’s Day? Well, these Toronto heavy-psych stalwarts, apparently.

Because Slipknot is definitely the most Satanic band since KISS…

Suffice to say there’s a lot of crazy shit on Facebook. You don’t hafta go far to find some utter inanities, that’s for sure. Earlier today, I stumbled across something that was nevertheless notable: a page entitled Christians Against Slipknot. It’s a real doozy…

Clamfight – I Vs. the Glacier

Overall, this is a pretty solid sludge record. Nothing that I haven’t really heard before, but these guys do it fairly well.

Amenra – Mass V

Overall, this isn’t a bad listen for fans of Neurosis, Zoroaster and the like. That said, I’m not sure this one’s a real winner—especially coming hot on the heels of the former’s latest record.

There’s nothing like the sound of Neurosis in wintertime…

Doom metal, in general, is not summertime music. When the sun’s out, the temperature’s rising and yer sweatin’ balls, you wanna cruise down the blacktop blasting some Kyuss or Fu Manchu, not some slow, melancholic, depressing tunes. Not that I have anything against slow and depressing, mind you–I just don’t have it pumping on the…

My top concert of 2012 is something no one will ever experience again…

While I initially joked that the price of the Kyuss Lives New Year’s Eve gig was a joke, I eventually gave in and bought myself a 200-dollar ticket. I don’t normally go out for NYE–frankly, I think it’s a rather pointless holiday–but I figured that for the founding fathers of stoner rock, I could make…

If the world ends next Friday, I can’t think of a better way to spend my last nite than at Lee’s Palace with White Cowbell Oklahoma…

For the past few years, White Cowbell Oklahoma’s Christmas show has always been an event I’ve marked on my calendar. Toronto’s most outrageous, over-the-top live band usually has something special up their sleeves around this time of year, and this year is no exception. Mind you, they’ve scheduled things a week later this time to…
