Hard Metal Reviews: CHRIS POLAND - Return To Metalopolis Live
http://hardmetalreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/chris-poland-return-to-metalopolis-live.html
Thursday, October 9, 2008. CHRIS POLAND - Return To Metalopolis Live. Return To Metalopolis Live. Unfortunately, the situation certainly gets no better. To put this record out into the public so long after the release of the original studio “Return To Metalopolis,” it would have to be a live album of the highest caliber that had been somehow lost in time, only to be recently resurrected. Unfortunately, this is simply not the case. Return To Metalopolis Live. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). MOWER Not ...

Rockin' Hard Reviews: AMERICAN DOG - Scars N Bars
http://rockinghardreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/american-dog-scars-n-bars.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. AMERICAN DOG - Scars N Bars. Brandishing a rough and bluesy feel, American Dog gets down and dirty here on “Scars-N-Bars”, an album that is certain to appeal to fans of ballsy, fired up, working class anthems. The album cover, which features the trio sitting atop a mountain of beer cans, says it all. From the raunchy rock of “Faded” to the up-tempo brawl igniter “Got You By A Chain”, which is reminiscent of Nashville Pussy, American Dog have what it takes...Drummer Keith Pickens...

Hard Metal Reviews: Crescent Shield - Crescent Shield
http://hardmetalreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/crescent-shield-crescent-shield.html
Thursday, October 9, 2008. Crescent Shield - Crescent Shield. Cruz Del Sur Music. Here’s a platter of fist-pumping, chest-beating metal anthems from Crescent Shield forged with a deeply traditional appeal. In terms of songwriting, this iron clad alignment follows examples from “Killers”-era Iron Maiden, early Queensryche, Mercyful Fate and to a lesser extent, those of the Kings of Metal themselves, Manowar.

Progressive Metal Reviews: DIVINITY DESTROYED - Eden In Ashes
http://progressivemetalreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/divinity-destroyed-eden-in-ashes.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. DIVINITY DESTROYED - Eden In Ashes. Combining melodic death with folk music has been attempted in the past, but none have faced these two contrasts with as much success as you will hear on “Eden In Ashes”. With this release, Divinity Destroyed touches upon a sound that is wholly different, with a strong emphasis placed upon varying musical textures, resulting in an album that is a divisive stroke toward an entirely new musical journey. Drummer Dan Leonard delivers a standout per...

Rockin' Hard Reviews: October 2008
http://rockinghardreviews.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. AC/DC - Black Ice. Face it, critics and fans can be real hard on bands that have been around for a while. Non-stop publicity engines raise expectations for everyone in the equation. So with a break of eight years between studio platters, the stakes are high for seminal Aussie rockers AC/DC. At this point in the band's career, a dull record could be a make-or-break proposition. Older fans have moved on with their lives in the years since " Back In Black. Amazingly, it's not.

Rockin' Hard Reviews: ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER - Artimus Pyledriver
http://rockinghardreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/artimus-pyledriver-artimus-pyledriver.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER - Artimus Pyledriver. Slocum's voice is going to be an acquired taste for many and you're either going to enjoy his whiskey-drenched belting or you're not, no doubt about it. Mostly, this type of swampy stuff is well-suited for those who can appreciate NOLA-type material but look for a bit more rock in their music. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Classic Album Of The Moment. Key Tracks: I Can't Drive 55, Dick In The Dirt, VOA. KAMELOT - The Black Halo.

Rockin' Hard Reviews: ALLELE - Point Of Origin
http://rockinghardreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/allele-point-of-origin.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. ALLELE - Point Of Origin. Familiarity breeds contempt and in the case of the music of Allele, many extra-jaded listeners may be inclined to dismiss the project out of hand after a small taste this talented new group’s highly accessible brand of music. So while you can’t say that Allele is anything that could be considered to be unique, one fact remains. They are damn good at what they do. Soaring melodies and hooks large enough to reel in a whale infect the songs o...Songs like ...

Progressive Metal Reviews: BEARVSSHARK - Terrorhawk
http://progressivemetalreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/bearvsshark-terrorhawk.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. Equal Vision Records – 2005. Edginess makes all of the difference, a sharp, slicing sensibility which lives deeply within the soul of the music that Bearvsshark create, but this edginess alone cannot stop the bands drawn out and downright dull songs from becoming boring. Essentially abstract crap for the college kids to waste time with, the songs here are without focus and the distinct amateur feel imparted by jams like “Heard From Bug, “They’re Coming To Town&...Ultimately, thi...
