    SATAN – Cruel Magic

    Satan has perhaps the most iconic name in heavy metal history — not because they are the most iconic band in metal history but rather Satan is a pretty big deal. This is what happens when you name your band first and retain a legacy that overshadows all...

  • LECTRIC LEATHER – Lectric LeatherLECTRIC LEATHER – Lectric Leather
    The internet is a wonderful place for, if nothing else, the exchange of ideas and heavy metal bands that were forgotten in the sands of time. Compilations and reissues are sometimes akin to time capsules that house great talent, not so great talent with really fun records that have aged gracefully, and not so great talent that did not age gracefully but hilariously. Lectric Leather was a speed metal band from the mid 80’s who have little information to their name. Aside from “formed in the summer of 1985” and...

    Jesus, I really do not want to be negative but these current fantasy films are sort of making me this way. I am always timid when it comes to criticizing music albums, but find myself more desensitized toward films. although just as much hard work goes into a film as an album, the blame for bad cinema can be spread over a larger party including director, writers, actors, editing, and just about everyone involved. This may be the case for The Crown and the Dragon. I will even track down...

    Alright, Kamelot. I recognize that name. It is power metal. Spelled with a K. Oh Jesus, they have 10 albums and have been around since 1995. Oh, fuck, they are not from Europe like I originally thought. Goddamn it, this is going to be a really awkward review. If you are wondering at all why I am reviewing Kamelot after clearly having no idea who this band is, it is only because I feel progressive and power is insular in its celebrations and associations. Unlike doom, black, and even death...
