Regardless of its sometimes ruthless nature, the longer I stay in this Metal business, the more faith I have in justice… you know, in the long run.

Looks like I wound back around to Kylesa to conclude. Seems appropriate, considering their career trajectory feels similar—this trio just has two fewer members. And even though forefathers like Helmet are showing more promise than they have in years, there is plenty of room for Goes Cube to grow in The Big Apple’s concrete jungle.

Hear about commonalities with recent tourmates, details on the robbery that almost kept them from doing those tours, his black metal project Djevel, singing/recording in Norwegian, and Erland’s offer to let me punch him in the face should they ever use predominantly English lyrics.

At least there’s *some* justice in the world, as Kvelertak breaches the European boundaries, carrying their chaos across the Atlantic into America.

It’s always good to see bands on the right path. The past few years, These Are They showed promise apart from their original project, Novembers Doom, but still seemed to be searching for their niche. Consider it found.

“Death Potion” takes a tried and proven thrash formula and injects it with new life. It has nearly everything that I look for when I review thrash and I’d like to see Early Man hone their chops over time.

I don’t care how complex and enigmatic you purport to be—gimme some friggin’ songs. Tub Ring is one of those bands that frustrates me because something tells me that I ought to like this music. Every allusion to Mike Patton’s various projects triggers my happy sensors, but with the amount this band misfires, I keep questioning my own instincts.

It still seems unclear if the woman wants to keep recording with session musicians, rejoin Nightwish, or pursue a career outside of heavy music. Frankly, of the three, I hope for the latter. Tarja has a beautiful voice, but if she continues this path without a talented band in and of themselves, her releases will grow increasingly bloated with filler.

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.
