Review : DEATHSPELL OMEGA - "Paracletus"

Rating: 4.5/5

This fusion keeps the album growing after several listens and it’s taking its rightful place among my most cherished records. If you like blackened metal with a twist, do yourself a favour and buy “Paracletus”. It’s a classic!

Review : CAVALERA CONSPIRACY - "Blunt Force Trauma"

Rating: 3/5

I’m not feeling “Blunt Force Trauma”, folks… there’s barely an bruise. Cavalera Conspiracy should sound more different than Soulfly, and there is simply not enough to distinguish the band. Maybe a different guy on lead guitar would help separate the two groups (sorry Mark, I really do like your work!). Just give us a reason to believe this is more than a cash-in.
