  • Sodom – Lords of Depravity Part II

    Lords Of Depravity Part II is an amazingly thorough, well-put together package but it might just be way too much for the beginner Sodom fan. At a running time of over six hours there is a shitload of Sodom to be had for a reasonable price.

  • Forbidden – Omega Wave

    The great pacing throughout the album makes you wonder why we haven’t heard such glorious blistering thrash from the lads earlier. Forbidden abandons any past or modern pretense and makes thrash metal vital again by combining heaviness, speed, melody, and technicality into a marvelously accessible package.

  • Hero Destroyed – Throes

    The band sound like a mix of Burnt By the Sun and, in a way, Blessings the Hogs (but not as unfocused as BTH). Contained within the riffs are elements of thrash and hardcore but it’s a great blend, like nabob coffee or that guy on the donkey coffee. If you like modern metal with…

  • The Big Four @ Silver City Mountain, Hamilton ON, June 22, 2010

    It was a neat experience to see this concert in a movie theater. A few of my own pals hummed and hawed about going, wondering why it wasn’t made available as a Pay-Per-View event, but I personally liked it better seeing it at the movies. No home distractions, no interruptions from the outside world and…

  • Kalmah – 12 Gauge

    I’m just going to come right out and say it: 12 Gauge is a great album.

  • Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax Are Coming To a Canadian Theater Near You June 22nd!

    I am sure by now you all have heard about how “the Big Four” are finally playing together this summer, albeit only in Europe at massive summer festivals. Well, if you live in Canada and can’t make it overseas this summer, maybe a trip to your local movie theatre will suffice? Read below to find…

  • Warbeast – Krush The Enemy

    rush The Enemy doesn’t just strive to be a part of the thrash metal resurgence. It’s comprised of dudes who eat, sleep and shit so much thrash, their assholes are rusting. Loud, aggressive, overbearing, sincere and full of great shred, Krush The Enemy is compelling from start to finish; a new high watermark in the…

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

    KREATOR, of course, positively destroyed The Opera House. “Hordes of Chaos” raised the energy level in the room to near-riot level early on, and “Enemy of God” and “Extreme Aggression” kept it there. Whatever chilliness I’d initially felt evaporated almost immediately, and there was rarely a moment when my fist wasn’t in the air and…

  • Arch Enemy/Exodus/Arsis/Mutiny Within @ Phoenix Concert Theater, Toronto ON, January 27, 2010

    Live review by Ola Mazzuca; Photos by Adam Wills There is a certain magic quality about metal shows; magic in which no matter what age you are or how you dress, you can still be a part of something larger than life, like the people in Dissection shirts who thrashed out to Exodus or that…

  • Voivod – Tatsumaki: Voivod Japan 2008

    This DVD presents their first ever Japanese show, along with several extras that make this an essential package for Voivod fans interested in both their present incarnation and their incomparable legacy.
