Band: The Farewell Scene Album: Broken Halos & Clipped Wings Label: N/A Reviewed By: Chris W Tracklisting:
  1. The Love You Seek
  2. Unending
  3. You Count The Stars
With the recent blow up of electro-pop and other sub-genres (the validity of which is debatable because most of the bands are straight up terrible) there are going to be a lot of awful bands that are out to ride the trend and make money, and then there are going to be the ones with an actual heart for the music they’re making.… Continued →

Venia - Frozen Hands

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Band: Venia Label: Blood & Ink Release Date: July 2009 Reviewed By: Chris W *Used with permission from Christian Music Zine* Do you like fast paced chug chug hardcore? Do the sounds of Terror, Seventh Star, or No Innocent Victim excite you? Do you like bold spirit filled hardcore? If so then this album probably sounds like at least 5 other cd’s you already own but still love, and you’ll probably add this one to your collection and adore it. Ok, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest I hope you realize that I am in no way knocking or hating on Venia.… Continued →

By in Reviews | Comments closed

It took a bit longer to get this review out due to the delay in the pre-order and my brief vacaton but here it is at long last. Picket Fence Cartel is Project 86's seventh album and it quite possibly could be their best.

Faults 7. Wonderful 8. When Your Mind Clears I believe that, at least for me, creativity breeds creativity.  Sometimes a band has brought something so fresh that it just makes my mind go bananas.  Other times, a band is so cut and dry that I feel like I’m saying the obvious. … Continued →

The Crucified - The Complete Collection

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Band: The Crucified Album: Box Set-The Complete Collection Label: Tooth & Nail Records Reviewed by: Brandon Jones Tracklisting — Look it up — I don’t feel like typing 50+ songs on here So I’m sitting here just browsing over the cd booklet for The Crucified Box Set, listening to the tunes and I am definitely taken back to a different era. It’s so incredible hearing some of these old songs remastered/remixed like all the tunes from “Pillars of Humanity”, the two final tracks from 93′ as well as the demos songs.… Continued →
