Sky Tells All - "Go Ahead, You Try It!"
Go Ahead, You Try It! is a catchy, pop-punk album that is definitely going to be heard of, and not just because of the cover of Taylor Swfit’s "Love Story." But since I mentioned it, I have to say it’s a really good cover. It’s not a cheap karaoke cover at all, in fact, I think it could totally hit a movie soundtrack, for a younger adult movie.
The After Chapter - "Relentless"
As of late Ontario has witnessed an increasing amount of great bands coming out of the wood work, so to speak. To name but a few: Threat Signal, Odium, Arise And Ruin and, of course, The After Chapter all come to mind. Relentless is the first full length from St. Catharines metal band The After Chapter and these guys…
Preternatural - "Cryophobia" [Song Review]
The song "Cryophobia" delivered to us by way of European death metal act Preternatural is a violently, vicious sounding tune. While all of the typical and essential elements of a good solid death metal tune are present and accounted for, it is the band's unique blending of extreme metal with very interesting keyboard lines that both…
Svarti Loghin - "Drifting Through the Void"
Drifting Through the Void is like Zen for metal fans. Tantalizing melodies ooze from Svarti Loghin and Limpan’s guitars while Emil’s drums keep up steady beats. It isn’t slow, but rather a good, steady pace. This is best demonstrated in the songs "Odelagd Framtid" and "Stargazer." They are very lengthy songs but effortlessly…
Spark Is A Diamond - "Try This On For Size"
Calling all hardcore kids who want to dance! I'm not talking about throwing down but bopping your body like girls at clubs. Spark Is A Diamond has written great music to groove to. These songs can be found on their albums Keep Your Eyes Off The Prize EP and Try This On For Size. If a metal gym ever opened up, these releases…
Veil Of Maya - “It’s Not Safe To Swim Today” [Song Review]
Veil Of Maya is a band that isn’t really well recognized in today’s metal scene. Sure, the people who like more underground metal likely know who they are, but it is without a doubt that this is one band who greatly merits much more exposure.
Bret Michaels Ft. Miley Cyrus - "Nothing to Lose" [Song Review]
Two singers. Both are TV stars. Both have long luscious locks. So I guess with their similarities we can assume that Bret Michaels and Miley Cyrus had more to chat about during studio breaks than initial speculation might otherwise suggest. Their obvious chemistry on Bret's latest single "Nothing To Lose" also indicates that these…
KMFDM - "Krieg"
What they haven't done to any appreciable effect is adapt their sound for the new millennium. Instead, the formula is the same: four-to-the-floor techno beats, angry guitars and growled socio-political commentary. And in keeping with this formula, they commissioned an album of remixes of their material.
The Karma Cure - "Saturn"
I can hear the shredding, its melting my face off. This is the effect of none other than The Karma Cure and their EP Saturn. Coming all the way from Elora Ontario, these rockers show us what talent is. Now sit down and listen to what makes a face melt.
Cancer Killing Gemini - "Christcontrol" [Song Review]
Cancer Killing Gemini, sports a wicked mix of vintage keys, drum machines, guitars and vocals which create a sound quite akin to that of Nine Inch Nails. Honestly, the resemblance is immediately apparent. This is no to say that the comparison is a bad thing though. Much like NIN, CKG seem to be able to easily switch between aggressive tracks and songs that are more down-tempo, creating a nice dichotomy of soft and loud.
