    Essential Heavy Metal Christmas Songs

    Over at CFMU, I co-host the metal show – Kill, Eat, Exploit the Weak – and we just finished our annual Christmas special. It’s always one of my favourite episodes to put together as the combination of heavy metal and the Christmas season brings two worlds together that normally don’t mix – the extreme speed…

    Recess, Reassessed: Come Out and Play by Twisted Sister

    After ceaseless rock ‘n’ roll hurdles overcome, and a legacy of thousands of sweaty shows, Twisted Sister’s third LP, 1984’s Stay Hungry, had brought the rewards the band so clearly sought. Stay Hungry sold over three millions copies in the US, millions more overseas, and all that success was a well-deserved triumph for Twisted Sister,…

  • Twisted Sister – From The Bars To The Stars: Three Decades Live

    Even if you already own one or two of the DVD’s in the set, this is a worthwhile trade up. If you’ve fallen behind this year and haven’t picked up any of the DVD’s then get out and grab this set! (And, of course, ‘tis the season so it makes a swell gift idea too!)

    Love him or hate him, there is no denying that A.C.’s Seth Putnam was one of the most controversial figures ever in extreme music. On the eve of the release of their new album, Justin M. Norton spoke with him about the new “F**kin’ A” album, surviving an overdose and how it did not make…

  • Twisted Sister – Live At Wacken: The Reunion

    My complaints about this disc are few (I would REALLY like a straight through version of the show) but my praise is high. This is a great watch for fans new and old and the accompanying live CD has some great rare live 80’s tracks as well.

  • STAFF PLAYLISTS: October 2010

    Hellbound’s staff give our picks for Halloween-themed songs to coincide with one of our favourite holidays.

  • Six Feet Under – Graveyard Classics III

    The concept of the covers album is a risky one. Nothing wrong with slapping one on as a B-side or extra track. But to propose a whole album of covers often begs the question, “What? Have they run out of their own material already?” When you decide to make the cover album an ongoing series,…
