  • Today Is The Day European Tour Diary 2011, Part Two

    Today Is The Day European Tour Diary 2011, Part One In April, Jay H. Gorania headed to Europe to flog merchandise for TODAY IS THE DAY on their tour. Now that he’s back and had time to get used to regular life again, Mr. Gorania has written a tour diary for Hellbound.ca. Here is his…

  • Just got back from Calgary–and boy, is my wallet tired!

    So, last weekend’s Sled Island festival was pretty solid. Sleep, The Sword, Dead Meadow, Bison B.C., Red Fang–I really can’t complain. Well, not about the lineup, anyways. But after defending Calgary as an affordable city to live in, I found out otherwise during my trip there last weekend…

  • Hellbound Staff Interrogations #10: Gruesome Greg

    Today’s staff interview is with our Toronto based stoner rock superfan Gruesome Greg

  • The Gates of Slumber – The Wretch

    Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the trad-metal gallop of tunes like “Ice Worm” and “Iron Hammer,” but the new, slower TGOS on display on this album is right up my alley.

  • Jay H. Gorania’s SXSW 2011 – Part 2

    “It was SXSW in Austin, so hell, we just decided to party. While hanging out on 6th Street, we were encountered by a rapper pushing his product.

  • Scott “Wino” Weinrich: The Hellbound Interview

    “I never in a million years thought we’d be talking about Saint Vitus now but here we are on the move again. It’s all looking pretty good, and it’s unusual. But it’s o.k. with me. When I turned 50 I realized it was time to loosen up. I decided not to worry as much and…

  • Crowbar – Sever the Wicked Hand

    Don’t get me wrong, the days of Time Heals Nothing and the self-titled are long gone, but if Sever the Wicked Hand sparks a Crowbar revival, I’m all for it.

  • Wino – Adrift

    Although I’ve got no grading scale or any reference points when it comes to acoustic folk, I will say that if you worship Wino, you’ll want this.

  • Festival Recap – Scion Rock Festival, Columbus OH, March 13, 2010

    I like free things. I especially like them when they give me the chance to see a bunch of bands I dig for, well, nothing. So, after passing on going to the initial Scion Rock Festival with Kevin Stewart-Panko last year when it happened in Atlanta, I made up my mind I wouldn’t miss this…
