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 →

REVIEW : Once Dead - Visions Of Hell
Band: Once Dead
Album: Visions Of Hell
Label: Open Grave Records
Reviewed By: Chris W
Before I start this review, let me say that I really don’t listen to much thrash metal, nor do I know much about it. That said, this cd was really a lot of fun to listen to.
Once Dead was the resurrection of the controversy laden band Vengeance Rising, and has become a sort of christian supergroup now featuring members of not only Vengeance Rising but also The Crucified, Fasedown, Hirax, and Deliverance.… Continued →
REVIEW : Faith Factor - Against A Darkened Sky
Band: Faith Factor
Album: Against a Darkened Sky
Label: Retroactive Records
Reviewed by: Dale H
Some say power metal is dead in the USA but I am here to tell you it’s NOT!!! There is a Power Metal band hailing from southern New Jersey and that band is Faith Factor. After their EP “07/07/07” comes their best stuff yet under their new debut album, “AGAINST A DARKENED SKY”. Throughout the years some have stated that one power metal band is the same as another, but they would be forced to rethink their postion after listening to “AGAINST A DARKENED SKY”.… Continued →

REVIEW : Lecrae - Rebel
Artist: Lecrae
Album: Rebel
Label: Reach Records
Release Date: September 30, 2008
Reviewed By: Luke J.
Being counter-cultural these days is extremely hard. Everything around you says “do things this way” or “if you have this item you need nothing else”. The Bible calls all Christians to something different, to be counter-cultural. What if we lived a lifestyle unashamed of Jesus Christ and no longer conformed to the patterns of the world. Or in this case, the culture. We would then line up with the teachings of the Bible and be better equipped to live a life that is set apart, unique. … Continued →

REVIEW : Hopeless Passion - Everything You Ever Wanted
Band: Hopeless Passion
Album: Everything You Ever Wanted
Label: None
Reviewed by: Tyler Hess
Coming from what seems to be a musical hotbed lately in Fresno, CA, Hopeless Passion brings us what mostly amounts to a very rough cut of mostly pop-punk stylings, but with some twists that glean from hip hop and rock. This is a project that just screams “hey, we did this ourselves!” They are a two man show, with the percussion being done on the instrument that we call a computer, which leads to very simple beats and vocals that rarely (at least until the last four songs or so) go outside of a small, simple, basic pop-punk box.… Continued →

REVIEW : twentyfour64 - Know Me
I’m really sorry I’m just writing this now and in such a hurry, but I just got out of P.E. and my heart is pumping really fast and I want to bust this out before lunch is over and I have to go back to Spanish class for another boring laser disc movie. Wait, this isn’t the mid to late 90’s and I’m not still in high school?
