[gameinfo title=”Album Info” album_name=”Human Remains” publishers=”Nuclear Blast” genres=”NWOBHM” release_date=”13/05/11″ buy_link=”https://playcom.at/rocksins/19055475.html”] Albums like this really don’t come along too often. In an age where music is so easily accessible and consequentially disposable, it is rare to find an album that will bully its way into your eardrums, kicking out any other bands vying for your attention….
It’s no coincidence that as the first rays of sunlight trickled through the clouds, the first chords of ‘When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes’ shimmered out of my speakers. Seven albums down the line and 3 million records later, Yellowcard are still delivering the kind of euphoric, feel-good soundtrack to your summer. I feel I…
I’ve done some wrestling with this bastard. When I normally listen to any of The Haunted’s albums, I come complete with a huge grin on my face and my trusty air guitar in hand. Not so with ‘Unseen’; my face resembles that of someone who has received terrible news and placed under suicide watch, just…
I can take or leave Funeral For A Friend. I’ve never been entirely captured with an album. It all started out promisingly enough when they brazenly introduced themselves with ‘Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation’, followed up with the diluted radio friendly style found in ‘Hours’ which led to the release of their extremely catchy…
I honestly don’t know how to start this review. It was a Thursday evening if I recall; I was scanning through the list of albums available to review. Oh my, there were some scary titles, album art that had all sorts of demons on them, inverted crosses and even a robotic woman on fire. But…
Given Brooklyn hardcore punk band Gay For Johnny Depp are fairly upfront in their intention to push the boundaries, from the eyebrow raising band or classy song titles such as ‘Sex in your mouth’, ‘Cumpassion’ and ‘Shh, put the shiv to my throat’. Add music stylings akin to The Locust, Plot To Blow Up The…
You know what I like about Legion Of The Damned? Everything. I like the fact (and these are all undeniable facts) that when I put on a LotD album I know exactly what I’m getting; no nasty surprises, no ‘we wanted to experiment as band and try something different’, no namby pamby chords just the…
Anticipation in my ears was high for Wisconsin thrash masters Lazarus A.D follow up to ‘The Onslaught’, an album that has been in heavy rotation since I first heard the re-released version back in 2009. If you had any type of involvement with me back then I would have been force feeding you ‘Last Breath’…
‘Tis the season to be jolly, and all that, so what better way to kick start your cheese and dip party than with a bit of Trucker Diablo. Seemingly oblivious to musical influences of the past decade, ‘The Devil Rhythm’ doesn’t so much buck the trend but rather completely ignores it in favour of producing…
Over there, in the corner of the room, are a list of verbs and adjectives that I usually throw in most reviews; brutal, crushing and devastating. They are glaring at some new boys who have sauntered into the review repertoire, Fabulous is leading the way along with Super and any minute now Camp will be…
Before we delve into ‘Senjyu’ I need to come clean. I’ll be the first to admit that I was incredibly underwhelmed by the ‘Dreamers’ EP, the reasons being as follows. Firstly, it was being pitched as ‘Djent’ which sent me scurrying off to Urban Dictionary to find out what this meant, in turn giving me…
One misty morning Corey Taylor and his crew of merry men climbed aboard the good ship Stone Sour and set sail on a course towards the new album. An album that would see them entering into uncharted waters, waters that would spawn something altogether ‘darker’ than their previous outings. Now, whether it was faulty sat…
