Our 20 Favorite Albums of One of Our Least Favorite Years
This is it! It is finally the end of 2020, and at the 11th hour, we are sharing our Top 20 albums fo the year. Why did we wait so long? Mostly because Brian forgot to post it days ago. But also because we wanted to go out with a bang? Sure…let’s go with that….
Happy New Year everybody! Here’s to a better year in 2021!
And remember – Be responsible. Stay healthy. Stay Metal.
They’re Being Followed
As you may realize, we try to keep up with a LOT of bands. Many we come across fade away, or we may give up on. Many we try to stick with, even if out of sheer curiosity for ourselves, or just for the sake of the show. Well, this week, we have been watching all three bands for all of most of their careers, and we are just as excited as many of you to see what they are up to now.
Reviews:
Intronaut – Fluid Existential Inversions (Metal Blade)

Great America Ghost – Power Through Terror (eOne Heavy)

Darkness in Many Forms
Atmospheric and brooding. Gothic and creepy. Venomous and aggressive. These are just some of the ways we get to hear the dark this week. Generally speaking, they are all enjoyable, it just comes down to what you prefer. If you’re not sure, just stick through he show and try them all!
Reviews:
Mastodon – Cold Dark Place (Reprise)
Cradle of Filth – Cryptoriana: The Seductiveness of Decay (Nuclear Blast)
Great American Ghost – Hatred Stems from the Seed (Good Fight)

Live Review:
Gojira, Torche, and Code Orange at Webster Theater in Hartford, CT on October 6, 2017
Hey, we have three brand new albums again! Imagine that… Also, as promised last week, we have a rundown of all the tours in progress or coming around soon. Well, not all of them. I realized we missed at least two (and apparently got a few other pieces of information wrong…but that is the Internet’s fault), but that has all been fixed in the list below, so that counts for something. Right? RIGHT? That’s what I thought.
Reviews:
Obscura – Akróasis (Relapse)
Textures – Phenotype (Nuclear Blast)
Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash (Relapse)
