We open with a greeting and a teaser, as “Dødedansen” erupts into your ears. After a minute or two of fierce folk metal, MetalMattLongo and Cris cross paths (see what I did theeeeeehhh… nevermind). Hear about the incredible departure of all band members, their triumphant reformation, and their heaviest, best-crafted album to date, ‘Maledictus Eris’. Also, Cris might be a supervillain (but denies it… like a supervillain totally would).

Venerable rockers with established careers and endless respect scarcely need to justify albums like this—it’s just plain fun. So if you wanna have fun, too, do like me: wait for a nice sunny day, hop in your car, roll the windows down, and keep Headcat spinning. Beware, they do bite, and they do sink in.

At its core, Decapitated is still a brutal, in-your-face explosion of death metal, but “Carnival is Forever” offers more—a solemn nod to the past and a fierce charge forward for the reformed group. I think Vitek would be proud of his big brother.

Questions of “correctness” and “intent” and “artistry” abound, but the more I listen, the more I hear a band baring itself to the moment, refusing compromise, accepting pillory. I may not like it much, but my respect is true.

Not my poison, but well worth a listen if you want to expand your knowledge of the darkness.

It took a damned month, but I finally gathered my thoughts on the 30th Anniversary Ozzy reissues. They still feel kinda scattered, but here nonetheless.

“The Wretch” is an album that people will be talking about for the next 20 years and should surely inspire the young hellions of today to carry the mantle.

This is the purpose for which rock ’n’roll was intended. Not to be background music in the local Target or to be recited soullessly by an army of never-ending American Idol contestants, but to remind us of what visceral chaos lives just below the surface of our pristine, orderly world.
