The Afterimage just released their debut album ‘Eve’ and it’s all I’ve been listening to the last couple days. If you’re a fan of bands like Erra, Invent Animate, or A Skylit Drive you’ll find plenty to love here. I’ve been into these guys since ‘Formless’ and am enjoying how Read more
Parkway Drive released their sixth album ‘Reverence’ yesterday and this is probably the last one I’ll ever review from them. They’ve turned into a Five Finger Death Punch, stadium rock wanna-be band and it’s not just me saying that, the band literally said they “outgrew” metalcore. So with that, I Read more
For The Fallen Dreams released their sixth album titled ‘Six’ this year. It’s their first album since 2014 and is the second one since their original vocalist Chad Ruhlig returned to the line up.

Alex Koehler, the vocalist of Chelsea Grin, has left the band to focus on his health (although he has a new side project called Grudges). His replacement is the vocalist of Lorna Shore, Tom Barber, who you can hear in Chelsea Grin’s new single “Dead Rose”. Below is my ORIGINAL Read more
The Browning put out their third album ‘Isolation’ back in 2016 and I’m really liking the electronic styles they mixed into this one. They’re probably the best known electronic metalcore band and their evolution from using trendy dubstep sections to truly integrating electronic music into their style has resulted in some Read more
