Review : FALLSTAF - "Bastard Sons of a Pure Breed"

Rating: 3/5

All things considered, I’ve never seen a band quite like Fallstaf, and the possibilities of ‘Brass Metal’ present an bright alternate path for misfit horn geeks with a heavy edge.

 
HELMET Releases Video for "So Long"

It arrived on YouTube about a week ago, and BraveWords just dropped the news (thanks, dudes). I went and got myself excited, because even though I reviewed “Seeing Eye Dog” a year ago, I don’t recall seeing a proper official video until now.

 
Review : LORD SILKY - "Dios Sedoso"

Rating: 4/5

Experiencing Lord Silky firsthand is a lot like banging a cheap hooker: dirty, dangerous, and aided by alcohol.

 
Review : MACHINE HEAD - "Unto the Locust"

Rating: 4.5/5

This is the music critics will say Classic Metal Band X could be aspiring to write, or something Modern Metal Band Y can never approach. It’s melodic American thrash, evolved through carved canyons, with greater depths that one misses if only glanced across, rather than explore down. Machine Head is among the best in 2011—and they’ll never live in the past.

 
Review : FACES OF BAYON - "Heart of the Fire"

Rating: 3.5/5

Faces of Bayon could have gone further with the sound that they displayed on the first half—reminiscent of a more sinister Om, and sometimes a softer Black Sabbath. Perhaps for the follow-up to “Heart of the Fire”, they could consult other divine monuments like the moia statues of Easter Island.

 
You Have Any Wolf in You? Would You Like One?

Lupine epithets, super!

 
Review : THE BODY - "Anthology"

Rating: 3.5/5

The Body. Man, these guys sure don’t make it easy for you. Now I think I understand why they had the Assembly of Light female vocal choir open their last album for seven minutes—not only did it initially sound sweeter, but they still twisted it into their own design. Nothing is pretty here, not for long anyway.

 
…Because Even a Minute of New CYNIC is Still New CYNIC!
