Review : ZOMBI - "Escape Velocity"

Rating: 4/5

Despite some choppy moments, “Escape Velocity” is a solid album with great production, and a loving homage to classic sci-fi/horror greatness. Metalheads, cyberpunks, and krautrockers alike can all find something to enjoy in Zombi.

Review : ABHOR – "Ab Luna Lucenti, Ab Noctua Protecti"

Rating: 2/5

If Abhor releases another album, I truly hope they stray from stereotypical symphonic black metal and concentrate on forming an acoustic niche.

Review : HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE - "17th Street"

Rating: 5/5

Should I even allow myself to post this review? I have so completely fallen in love with the fifth album from the San Franciscan sextet, it may be difficult to objectively criticize. The band was off my radar until last year, when Metal Blade scooped them up and decided to reissue their last four albums. Brad Barratt tackled all of those, so I decided to cruise down “17th Street” myself.
