That’s right & it’s not that one festival we all thought was theirs. Hailing from Dallas Texas, the thrash metal group known as Power Trip were resummoned after their halt, following the passing of frontman Riley Gale in 2020. This time, the band is led by Skourge’s very own Seth Gilmore. After a Fugitive performance…
Unpure – Prophecies Ablaze Review
High Speed Black Unpure – Prophecies Ablaze (huh?) If you are old, like me, the name Unpure may sound familiar. They started in the mid 90’s and and did not turn many heads. They were signed to a then very underground Napalm Records, then after 2 albums, moved on to Drakkar Productions for one album,…
Eric’s Top Metal Albums Of 2022
Another year of heavy metal has come and gone. There was a TON of music that came out this year, some were absolute gems and others I wouldn’t wipe my ass with.So many enjoyable albums were released this year that my list went through multiple changes and re-writes, it doesn’t even resemble what I started…
Todd’s Top 10 for 2022 (with Extra Hot Sauce on the Side)
Another year in the books — and another batch of great music! I was remiss in keeping track of a lot of what came out in both the mainstream and the underground — spending a total of 198 days of the year on the road (mostly for work, with some fun here and there too!)…
Evildead live at Metal Swap Meet 2022 [video]
Thrashing ‘Process Elimination’ in San Diego Metal Swap Meet was over a month ago, and yet some memories still feel vivid. For me, the amazing performance by Los Angeles thrashers Evildead, is one of those memories. We have talked with Evildead for years, trying to get them to play our humble event in San Diego….
Municipal Waste’s “Electrified Brain” Review
A band that’s been around for seemingly 47.3 Thrash Metal Years (more commonly known as the year 2001), but a band that has never really drawn me in. Much like their post-Y2K peers (Havok, Violator, Warbringer, et al)…, I’ve never been quite sold on their “D.R.I + Nuclear Assault alcoholic lovechild” NWOUSTM1 vibe. In fact,…
Vio-Lence – “Let The World Burn” Review
“Let The World Burn” is the latest release from thrash legends, Vio-Lence, released March 3rd, 2022 on Metal Blade Records. Marching over to Metal-Archives.com, it also appears to be the newest material since 1993’s “Nothing To Gain”. You can say it’s been awhile. Thrash Legends Mark Their Return I have a confession to make: I…
Tymo “The Art of a Maniac” Review
Tymo is a rather unknown oddly named Western Canadian Thrash Metal band that has been around off and on since `14. With several releases under their bullet belt, their newest album hit the streets yesterday. With an odd “Aliens meets zombie Bob Ross” art fetish, well, let’s see what these Canucks are all aboot, eh?…
Agent Steel – “No Other Godz Before Me” Review
To review “No Godz Before Me” from Agent Steel I will be quoting the Cher song “Believe” NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY… I cannot ignore that I’m looking at one of the worst albums covers ever. Hard to imagine an entire band looking at this cover and thinking “Oh Yeah, this is it!!!” unless…
Flotsam & Jetsam – “Blood in the Water” Review
A new level of dark Here we have the 14th studio album by Flotsam & Jetsam entitled “Blood in the Water” released in June of 2021.This album is a perfect mix of thrash and dramatic emotion. Is much darker than their usual musical delivery and almost bordering power metal more than ever before, in my…
