It has taken 11 years for Canadian Death Metallers Cryptopsy to return with their eighth full-length album, and it is interesting to read the differing reviews which are popping up. Some are saying it is the best since the departure of Lord Worm, some say that may be...

In August 1985 Sepultura went into the studio to record tracks that would appear on a split EP with Overdose. At the time the band were just a trio, featuring Max Cavalera (vocals, rhythm guitar), Jairo Guedz (lead guitar, bass), and Igor Cavalera (drums, percussion)....

Following on from ‘Bestial Devastation’, the trio of Max Cavalera (vocals, rhythm guitar), Jairo Guedz (lead guitar, bass), and Igor Cavalera (drums, percussion) went back to the studio to record the debut Sepultura album. At the time the guys were still struggling...

Back with their third studio album, Phil Campbell (guitars) and his sons Todd (guitars), Tyla (bass), and Dane (drums) have welcomed in new singer Joel Peters and it sounds as if he has always been there. When one was the right-hand man for more than three decades of...

Here we have the debut album from Phoenix-based brutal death metal outfit Nuclear Remains who comprise Aiden Santelli (vocals), Anthony Fazio (guitars, backing vocals, synth), Gabe Villont (bass, backing vocals), and Anthony Buchowski (drums). Villont and Buchowski...

It seems like Jag Panzer have been around forever, but given that John Tetley (bass), Mark Briody (guitars, keyboards) and Harry Conklin (vocals) formed the band more than 40 years ago, I guess they have. Drummer Rikard Stjernquist joined in 1987, and it is only new...

I was 15 years old when I bought my first hard rock album, ‘Live and Dangerous’ by Thin Lizzy, and there is no doubt that this album, combined with the quickly acquired studio releases ‘Jailbreak’, ‘Johnny The Fox’ and ‘Bad Reputation’ had a massive impact on me. One...
