REVIEW : Fires Of Babylon - Fires Of Babylon

Artist: Fires Of Babylon Album: Fires Of Babylon Label: Metal Heaven Release Date: April 25th, 2008 Tracklist: 01. Falling To Pieces 02. Devilution 03. When The Kingdom Comes 04. Lake Of Fire 05. Holy Resurrection 06. Going Through Changes 07. Lazarus Rising 08. Revolution Coming 09. Generation Of Destruction 10. Castles Are Burning 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?

REVIEW : Julian Drive - My Coming Day

Julian Drive – My Coming Day In a world where Baskin-Robbins has 31 flavors (and then some?), Julian Drive has found its perfect ice cream flavored musical niche. After all, vanilla is technically a flavor. In fact, it has a huge market appeal. There are tons of people out there with out any real higher sense of developed taste buds, but they still like ice cream. What I’m getting at here is that Julian Drive definitely has a broad market appeal and will probably find a good amount of success.… Continued →

REVIEW : Theocracy - Mirror Of Souls

Album: Mirror of Souls Label: Ulterium Records Reviewer: Stephen M When Brandon asked me to review Theocracy I was sceptical, and for good reason too. Theocracy is a band in a genre I have yet to discover. Epic, melodic Power Metal with occasional progressive flourishes is what Theocracy is classified as. I have never really listened to any metal bands before, like Dragonforce, which I am told are similar, so this “metal” sound is new to me and in some ways redefines it for me. Normally what I call progressive metal music sounds like Becoming The Archetype.… Continued →
