Dream Theater Welcomes Back Mike Portnoy

Wow… so, this happened! On October 25, 2023, Dream Theater announced that founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy had returned to the band! I don't know about you, but I didn't see that coming. Yes, there were signs of warming...

Judas Priest – Invincible Shield (Album Review)

Just like its predecessor, this new Judas Priest album, Invincible Shield, is fully of energy, melody, and aggressive riffs. What’s not to like?

Reunion or Tribute? Thoughts on Pantera’s Upcoming Activitiy

I am glad that these songs are going to be played live. But I cannot, in good conscience, agree to the use of the Pantera name. Without Dime and Vinnie, the “band” is not there, but perhaps the “brand” still is.

Gear Summary of 2021

One tradition I’ve started a while back, and am continuing with this post, is an annual summary of the gear I’ve purchased. It allows me to share my feedback with you all, but I can also look back and analyze how much each purchase was utilized.

Roger Taylor – Outsider (Album Review)

I don’t know if I am having some recency bias here, but this might be my favorite Roger Taylor solo album. There’s a mood on here that I never found in any of his past releases.

This isn’t an easy article to write, but given how big of a Megadeth fan I am, I thought it would insincere if I skipped this topic that has dominated almost all heavy metal outlets these past few weeks.

The Thinking Man’s Metal Blog

There are two reasons why I started this web site:
  1. I enjoy discovering insights about a band, a particular album or a song, or a certain musical event. I believe the more you know what went into a certain musical piece, the richer your listening experience will be. I hope to contribute to your experience by sharing what I’ve discovered along the way.
  2. Unfortunately many rock and metal sites these days focus on click-bait articles and try to generate interest by taking quotes out of context and using false information. Whether they do these intentionally or not is up for debate, but the fact is there are not many sites that focus on accuracy of their information.
    Megadepth is a blog that focuses on hard rock and heavy metal bands and musicians. But unlike many other sites/blogs that do quick posts without the proper research, I dedicate my time to in-depth articles. I always add my opinion in the articles, but you will know that I base them on facts; not rumors.
