Writing about music is a passion project for me. I’m not doing this for money. There’s nothing wrong with making money from music journalism; I hope that one day I can make some money, but as it stands now, this is a passion project because I truly love analyzing music and sharing that analysis with …...

I’ve taken way too long to review this album, but sometimes unanticipated things occur and take over your entire schedule! Anyway, after an unintentional break, I’m back to write about one of the most popular bands in our favorite genres. I’m of course talking about Ghost. On June 1st of this year, they released their...

As much as I enjoy reviewing albums from internationally known bands like Metallica and Judas Priest, I equally enjoy discovering younger bands and tell my readers about them. Whether we like it or not, some of our favorite musicians – people who influenced us and even helped us through difficult times – are getting older....

I almost want to say Judas Priest is back, but then again, they never really left! Their newest studio album, Firepower, is just so good that I think it’s their best since Painkiller (1990). The songwriting, production, guitar-work, drums, vocals… everything is stellar as far as I’m concerned. It is truly remarkable that this...

Most of my album reviews so far have been about fairly established bands. So, I wanted to add some variety and talk about one of the relatively newer bands in the scene; Act of Defiance. They have recently released their 2nd studio album called Old Scars, New Wounds and it’s beginning to sound like they …...

I like doing reviews for any rock or metal album, but when it’s from one of my favorite bands, it’s always a lot more fun. Annihilator, one of the greatest musical acts from Canada, is an absolute favorite of mine. I’ve been a fan since 2000 and feel lucky to have discovered their stuff because, …...

To be perfectly honest, I’ve only recently heard of Gretchen Menn. I try to follow guitar oriented music pretty closely; but when you have access to music streaming services and YouTube, you are exposed to so much new music that sometimes it takes you longer to discover some immensely talented musicians. My introduction to Gretchen...

I don’t remember exactly when I discovered Mastodon. I think it was 2008 but I’m not sure. I was always interested in discovering new bands – ones that were at least “new” to me – and Mastodon was getting an increasing volume of attention from rock and metal magazines. I wanted to hear what this …...

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard some new music from Metallica, hasn’t it? 8 years to be exact! Well, good news is that we finally have a new album from the biggest metal band in the world. Hardwired… to Self-Destruct was released on November 18th, 2016 by Blackened Recordings, the band’s own label. …...
