This album is the most cohesive piece of work John Cooper and company have put together. Their last effort “Rise” was FANTASTIC, in its own right. They took a stab at making a concept album with Rise [...]

I was VERY excited when I heard Godsmack was back with a new single and an album coming soon. I have loved all of their past albums dearly. They have always written some very big songs, not just big in popularity but in scope. From songs like “I Stand Alone”, “Faceless”, “Cryin Like a Bitch” [...]

by Zene Smith Florida based band Anberlin’s latest album titled Lowborn is somewhat of a bittersweet journey in that it is the last one we will get to take with them and yet somehow, reassures us that it may be a deserving ending in this discography. One thing I’ve found very interesting is that this [...]

In this age of disinformation, misinformation, and just plain lies, it is hard to know how to interpret “The Message” to which the cinema-rock group Starset makes reference. Their July 8, 2014 release “Transmissions” is itself a combination of songs that could easily fit into the soundtrack of any modern day sci-fi film and arena-ready [...]

BLOOD FOR BLOOD So HELLYEAH has been one of my very favorite bands. From “You Wouldn’t Know” to “Nausea” this band had it all. They had the metal world in the palm of their hands. However, somewhere along the way I feel like they lost themselves. Well people, crank up your stereo and get ready to [...]

There are seriously no other bands quite like Black Label Society. But what else would you expect from a band that features a guitar god like Zakk Wylde?
