INTERVIEW : Sons Of God
Could you tell me who the members of the band are, and what they do in the band?
John Burton, the foreigner, I say that because he moved here to Oklahoma from Georgia about a month ago. John plays “tasty” guitar melodies, keys, and is the other primary songwriter. Zachary Wurzbach (Rippy McShrederton) plays bass and rules. And then there is myself, I’m the primary songwriter and I sing, play guitar, keys, and percussion in the band. Right now we have a couple of awesome other fellas that will be playing with us live, but for now it’s just us three.… Continued →

REVIEW : Redemption - Demo EP
Band: Redemption
Album: Demo EP
Label: N/A
Reviewed By: Chris W
In the realm of hardcore, originality is virtually nonexistent. What I see as important in a hardcore group is their passion and their message. You have your bands that constantly sing about winning “the fight” but what fight are they really singing about? Then there’s the band that sing so much about family, unfortunately for all their family oriented lyricism, the scene is more divided than ever.
When it comes to Redemption, they have more to sing about, and it’s in their name.… Continued →

FIRES OF BABYLON is classic 1980’s-style, shredding heavy metal reincarnated! I`m a big fan of the 80’s shred with the lineup of some skilled musicians including guitarist Lou St. Paul (WINTERS BANE), vocalist Rob Rock (IMPELITTERRI, Driver, Rob Rock), bassist Kelly Conlon (ex-DEATH), and drummer Robert Falzano (SHATTER MESSIAH)…The only reason I got this album was purely because Rob Rock was on it.… Continued →

INTERVIEW : Elgibbor
Describe Elgibbor to people who may not be overly familiar with the band?
Elgibbor is my solo project. I would describe the music as kind of an atmospheric/Celtic black metal with a biblical theme.
What inspired you to do Elgibbor?
I was in a band at the time and just felt inspired to start a solo project with my own style of music based on my life’s experiences and texts from the Bible.
How did you come up with the name Elgibbor?
Elgibbor is the Hebrew/Aramaic word for “God Almighty”.… Continued →
