Macabre - Human Monsters (2010)



Macabre's new EP, a slight change from 2003's "Murder Metal" but the Macabre we all know is back. They do a Venom cover, which personally is the low point of this release for me, but it's still a decent cover. I've just already listened to the original and Sigh cover of this particular song to death. "The Big Bad Wolf" is great, and if this is the tone of the next release (due out later in the year, which can only mean very soon) then I think we're all in for a treat.

Deftones - Around The Fur (1997)

Deftones - Around The Fur

Are they metal? Are they alternative rock? Are they "nu metal?" Are they really that good, or are they a guilty pleasure? Depending on how old you are, when you got into them and whether you listen to only their first two or three records or their last three, the answers are all different. Personally, my love of the Deftones stopped after White Pony, but Adrenaline and Around The Fur still get regular rotation over a decade later. Twisted thought, isn't it? They formed in 1988 and I remember finding out about them through The Crow: City Of Angels soundtrack, which featured my favorite song by them, "Teething," which hasn't appeared on any full-length albums by the band. Their first two records were definitely angrier, heavier, sloppy and raw sounding, which is exactly what I and many others wanted! If you used to spend hours in your room or older friend's car banging your head to "My Own Summer" and "Headup" while getting Slurpee stains in your JNCOs and your product-coated bangs in your mouth, or your shotgun-blast haircut caught in the car door, come back and enjoy this, it has aged well, I promise. Moving on from this tangent, this album is cleaned up compared to Adrenaline, and features more melodic areas while also getting heavier where it needs to. Chino's vocals are crisper and instead of gurgling, spitting or panting awkwardly like he did in a few places on their debut, he utilizes his mutters, whispers, screams and wails in a much stronger fashion. The drums are louder and not so Piccolo snare 'pop-pop' sounding, and have a fuller crunch that it needed for the fuller guitar sound that came too. Terry Date produced both albums, and the obvious similarities are all there, but there is enough of a difference to hear a little maturity and effort overall. "Headup" features Max Cavalera of Sepultura, or better known these days for (ugh) Soulfly or The Cavalera Conspiracy, and is where the basis for Soulfly came from. So thank the song for the audio atrocities that followed in 1998.

Mad Marge & The Stonecutters - Mad Marge & The Stonecutters (2005)

Mad Marge & The Stonecutters

Mad Marge & The Stonecutters are a high-energy rock 'n' roll band that uses lots of rockabilly or psychobilly influences, and can get quite metallic at times too. The strong female vocals are easy to find yourself singing along to and some of the songs have little familiar catches and hooks in the basslines you might recognize from classic rock tunes, maybe even some surf-y ones. This is not up a lot of people's alleys, but it's a relatively short album with fast pacing and if you like anything you can dance fast to, here you go. For fans of Germany's Mad Sin, HorrorPops, The Creepshow, Koffin Kats and Nekromantix.

Man Or Astro-man? - What Remains Inside A Black Hole (1997)

Man Or Astro-man - What Remains Inside A Black Hole


This album contains one of my favorite covers of The Bel-Airs tune "Squad Car," which is a classic song covered by many, many surf rock bands. If surf music for the most part bores you and you want something with a little more kick, a little more grime and dirt-- this band should do the trick. It's got the great basslines and echoing guitar you'd expect and hopefully want from surf rock music, but it has that spit-shine of sleaze, the way Motörhead adds to rock and metal.

Torn Apart - Ten Songs For Bleeding Hearts (1999)

Torn Apart - Ten Songs For Bleeding Hearts

This isn't a very good hardcore album; in fact by today's standards, it might almost fit in. However, it came over 10 years ago, and at the time, I loved it! Torn Apart was a hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland that existed from about 1994 to 2001. This was out before it could be labeled metalcore and was nice and pissed off for anyone who was able to find them. At times, sounding like Coalesce, Turmoil-- they played alongside bands at the time like Adamantium, Disembodied, Endeavor, XDiscipleX A.D., Indecision (getting nostalgic yet? Or too young to remember?), and blew minds in the late 90's at many hardcore festivals up and down the east coast. Right when they began to blow up though it seemed they disappeared, and only recently did I see that they had officially disbanded by 2001. Their other releases are nearly impossible to find, so if anyone actually likes this, I can continue searching. This was more a nostalgia trip and a request fulfillment for my brother than anything else. Also, the Guns 'N' Roses cover is absolutely garbage. Not even funny, it's bad.

Battlemaster - Spells, Boots, & Portals (2010)

Battlemaster - Spells, Boots, & Portals

This quick and most recent offering from Battlemaster is a faster, heavier fondling session and the foreplay before the penetration that is the full-length album that will come. Soon. A crowd hit, "Cursed Boots Of Perpetual Dancing," will have you kicking up dirt like a pit bull and ready to crash into the next JNCO gorilla with long hair over and over. It has a rumbling guitar that goes into a frenzied tornado of black thrash and rolling drums to keep you dancing for four straight minutes, if you can stop there. "Total Aboleth Funeral" has you envisioning an ocean of dead squid-like beasts laid out to be cast into the wind, and "Portal Escape" keeps the speed at the tops while those dancing boots follow you closely. It's short, sweet, and probably the best thing you'll hear for a long while.

Battlemaster - Warthirsting & Winterbound (2007)

Battlemaster - Warthirsting & Winterbound

Richmond, Virginia has become a hotbed of shining gold heavy metal in the last few years with bands like Inter Arma, Bastard Sapling, Cannabis Corpse and Battlemaster. The years-anticipated full-length this band put out lived up to everyone's expectations and blew them away quite easily; it's got speed, it's got heavy, it's got funny (if you pay attention to the lyrics, vocals or both there's great payoff), the drumming is out of this world and you'll feel like you're hearing Enslaved, Withered, Immortal and Deströyer 666 trying to come up with a supergroup formula but Battlemaster's already got what you want the way you want it. One of the best metal releases of 2007, Richmond metal history; it is the record this band needed to get out there. Get this, buy it if you can, and for the real experience, of course: see them live.

Nuclear Assault - Game Over (1986)

Nuclear Assault - Game Over

Nuclear Assault's debut album covered all the thrash metal basics: Satan, politics and a paranoid obsession with the post-apocalyptic world. They knew what they were doing going in as all the members were well-aware and very much veterans of the New York thrash metal scene. Danny Lilker, who was a founding member of Anthrax (fired for not paying practice space rent and for being a slob), founded Nuclear Assault as well as other projects like Stormtroopers Of Death (S.O.D.) and went on to play in bands like Brutal Truth and Crucifist. He also made an extremely memorable appearance playing bass with Sigh at last year's Maryland Death Fest for their cover of Venom's "Countess Bathory." Anyway, this has the original thrash formula you've come to know and love, with hilarious songs like "Hang The Pope" and a change of pace like "Brain Death," with seemingly endless riffing towards the end. Whether you think this is "standard" thrash or THE standard, it is always a fun listen and you can see where all of today's thrash clones steal their riffs from. I will upload some Vio-Lence, Overkill, Artillery and even Anthrax to disprove the nonbelievers!

Exodus - Bonded By Blood (1985)

Exodus - Bonded By Blood

Underrated outside of the die-hard thrash fan circle, but anyone who's bothered to listen to this from start to finish knows the influence it's had on bands like Megadeth, Vio-Lence and Slayer, with solos that take you back to Kill 'Em All-era Metallica, PROBABLY due to Kirk Hammet quitting Exodus to join Metallica before this album was released, and leaving a lasting mark on the band for at least this album. Paul Baloff sang only on this and the 1982 demo but is still the most memorable singer this band has ever had.

Testament - The Legacy (1987)

Testament - The Legacy

An instant hit in 1987 due to watered-down local thrash buddies Metallica paving the way for them, Testament formed in 1983 and went on to tour almost immediately after releasing this album with Anthrax who were on the road to promote Among The Living. While their newer albums aren't brilliant like their first couple albums, but they have yet to put an honestly bad album.

Megadeth - Rust In Peace (1990)

Megadeth - Rust In Peace

Megadeth's finest moment; this isn't just my opinion, either. Many agree, few disagree, and everyone has valid points as to why or why not, be that you go by how many "hits" are on one album, to the musicianship to the themes explored to Dave Mustaine's vocal style to the solos to the drumming to the ridiculous "Hangar 18" music video. This is essential to any music lover's collection, I am serious. Marty Friedman and Dave Mustaine together here create a sound not heard on many metal albums; it is marketable but not pop. It is distinct without going near the waters of the dreaded avant-garde tag. Heavy, but not sludgy. Clean recording, but not Bon Jovi (or Metallica's Black Album, ugh). At the risk of sounding very cliche, the first track sets the tone for the rest of the album with an already memorable guitar riff that throws you right into a frenzy of sharp, fast pacing with a song about the Northern Ireland Conflict, then slowing down in the middle abruptly with a theme change into Marvel's "The Punisher." "Tornado Of Souls" is hands down the most magnificent song in this band's entire career and multiple listens will keep you feeling like you heard the best song ever for the first time, every time. Without further ado (as I could go on and on), please, just download the record and listen from start to finish and experience the glory that many others have already been enjoying for two decades.

Manowar - Louder Than Hell


To celebrate my not being smashed against another car by a car while on my bicycle last night, I am putting up Manowar's 1996 slice of battering metal, "Louder Than Hell." Sure there's some filler, but the standout tracks are excellent enough to warrant constant listens. This is fist-pumping classic heavy metal revived in the 1990's. You can probably delete about half the album and you probably will upon listening to it, but "The Gods Made Heavy Metal" and "Brothers In Metal Pt. 1" will have you fist pumping harder than any Jersey trash could dream of.

Macabre - Murder Metal (2003)

Macabre - Murder Metal

Macabre's most recent release, now six years old, is just as entertaining as when it first dropped. Though they pretty much only play shows around the Chicago area, we can always look forward to them (one day, someday) playing at a festival outside of Illinois. High production value like "Dahmer," an even louder, sharper and violent sound than before, and even more humor, this is it. "Jack The Ripper" is a song comprised completely of a letter said killer sent to the London police. "The Wüstenfeld Man Eater" is about Armin Meiwes, the German cannibal who put a want ad in the newspaper looking for a young man to be eaten, also the subject of a song by Rammstein called "Mein Teil." "The Iceman" is about hired hitman Richard Kuklinski, a Polish guy who couldn't be made by the mob so he was just contracted instead. My favorites off this are "The Hillside Strangers," "The Iceman," "The Wüstenfeld Man Eater" and "Morbid Minister."

Macabre - Sinister Slaughter (1993)

Macabre - Sinister Slaughter


1993's Macabre breakthrough album "Sinister Slaughter," hard for many to access and a favorite among many others. A collection of songs about various killers, murderers, psychopaths and rageaholics throughout time from the Zodiac Killer to Richard Speck to Albert Fish and Charles Whitman. I do not have a single track on here I don't like, but my personal favorite is "Vampire Of Düsseldorf," about Peter Kurten, a serial killer from Germany who struck the hardest in 1929, killing a wide range of people from an 8-year old girl to a middle-aged mechanic and at least 7 others with 9 attempts at murder. He would stab most to death and said at his trial that it was purely of a sexual nature; that the excessive stab wounds on certain victims were because it took longer to achieve an orgasm. Anyways, the song itself has a catchy piano opening and the chorus is also by far the catchiest for me. "Sniper In The Sky" is about Charles Whitman, the man who killed 14 people at the University of Texas in 1966 from the tower and observation deck of an administrative building. I made sure to list which killer each song is about because they are each interesting reads. The album cover is a parody of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club," with celebrities' heads replaced by notorious killers. One of my favorite album covers ever. Enjoy!

Misery Index - Traitors

Baltimore, Maryland's pride, born from being former members of Dying Fetus, another local outfit playing similar tunes.

Death - The Sound Of Perseverance (1998)

Death - The Sound Of Perseverance

Death's final studio album, thought of as more of a progressive and experimental album than their previous releases with most songs averaging in at the 6-minute mark. It also contains the vastly different and very emotional instrumental "Voice Of The Soul," and their brilliant rendition of Judas Priest's "Painkiller," which shows vocalist Chuck Schuldiner pushing his vocal limits seemingly combining his own voice with that of Rob Halford's, and even throwing in a very unexpected and rare clean vocal ending (and not in a bad way at all). Although most would say without hesitation that "Symbolic" is better, this is still an incredible album to go out on before they released a live album in 2001 to raise funds for Chuck Schuldiner's brain cancer treatment.

White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000 (1995)

White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000

The full title is actually "Astro Creep 2000: Songs Of Love, Destruction And Other Synthetic Delusions Of The Electric Head." Released in 1995, this album was a huge departure from their previous records and has a much heavier, much darker tone to it, also leaving behind the sleazy, mid-to-fast-paced rock 'n' roll metal sound that was present on 1992's "La Sexorcisto." "Astro Creep" had a more stable sound, a far more evil tune to it and the lyrics center more on the Satan, Hell, murder, zombies, and even drawing some inspiration from a movie called "Blade Runner," as presented on the Grammy-nominated "More Human Than Human."
