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 →

I don’t think that the wool is going to be pulled over anyone’s eyes with this band, I think after three releases it is pretty obvious where this band is at musically and I doubt anything is going to change any time soon.… Continued →

Lanae' Hale - Back & Forth

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Female pop artists tend to have a bad reputation as writing cheesy and shallow music that has more to do with commercialism than genuine artistic expression. Then there’s Lanae’ Hale. This twenty-six year old singer/songwriter brings back the depth and sincerity of artists like Sixpence None the Richer or Nichole Nordeman. Back & Forth, her full-length debut on Centricity Records, is already an obvious pick as one of the top releases from the CCM world in 2009.

Band: Reapers Are The Angels Label: N/A Reviewed By: Chris W Tracklisting: 01. Visions 02. Silence The Accuser 03. The Dichotomy Of Grace 04. The Immolation Dear Facedown/Strikefirst Records, I’d like to introduce you to the next band that you really should consider signing. Don’t think we haven’t noticed your love for bold brutal deathcore of late, what with signing Earth From Above, Impending Doom, and In The Midst Of Lions. For those of you unfamiliar with these guys (and girl) Reapers Are The Angels is a six piece keys backed deathcore band from Virginia that is passionate about their message.… Continued →

O' Brother - The Death of Day

By in Reviews | Comments closed

O’ Brother’s The Death of Day is an album that digs deeper than the average. The music rocks in an intricately-crafted way, and the lyrics are the poetry that develops out of looking for God while living in a world full of darkness.
