Like their countrymen Dimmu Borgir, or the celebrated/accursed Cradle of Filth, Keep of Kalessin is high on concept and bombast when it comes to their craft. While they may not be for the blackest kvlt, KoK is ideal for those that keep extreme music on their periphery, and are comfortable with just a little corpsepaint.

Colonel Blast are amongst a new breed of Metal bands that does not adhere to genres, but reminds us why that kind of shorthand is useful. I wish them luck, identity, and perhaps a promotion some day; at least ‘Brigadier Blast’ would be alliterative.

The phrase ‘kinda sounds like bands I sometimes enjoy’ is not enough to keep Concept Insomnia on my map, never mind their forgettably esoteric name and ostensible lack of badassery. Sorry guys, but I fail to see your purpose.

To sum things up as someone new to Danzig, I believe this is a decent album that could serve as a crossover of sorts for Misfits fans. I cannot say for sure if this is the best Danzig album ever, but I like what I’ve heard and Glenn has won over a new convert.

Son of Aurelius could go on to do great things, but just like their namesake, who was the first emperor “born to the purple”, they lack the focus of their forebears.
Yeah, I’m excited for them, too! Of course, this would be even better news if they were coming any closer than Virginia, as far as the northeast US is concerned.
The band will play a couple of NJ dates: the first with THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL tonight, and the CD release party tomorrow with A BALANCE BETWEEN, THE AFTERMARK, and STATIONS & THE MONSTER.
