Nuclear Assault “Pounder” Review
SDMetal.org icon Brian asked me to “review an album you hate lol”…, perhaps to provide some balance to the reviews on this site. Unlike spinless ass-sucker metal review sites that shamelessly replace so-so reviews posted on their site with vacuous handjob reviews1 mere hours later (lest they annoy the record labels that feed them infinite…
Exodus – “Persona Non Grata” Review
What can be said about bay area thrash legends, Exodus, that hasn’t already been said? “Persona Non Grata” is an album that would feel at home in their 80’s catalog. It starts heavy , mellows in the middle and picks up again towards the end. It is reminiscent of some of their earlier works. Very…

Brian’s Top Metal Albums of 2021
2021 – The year of older metal While listing my top metal albums of 2021, it was pretty obvious that 2021 was a year of older bands. We have Iron Maiden, Unanimated, Hypocrisy, Cynic, Exodus, Helloween, Asphyx, Massacre, Unleashed, Cannibal Corpse, At The Gates, and Cradle of Filth. All bands at least 30 years old,…
1914 – “Where Fear and Weapons Meet” Review
World War One — known as The Great War prior to another world-wide conflict that blew up in 1939 – isn’t really discussed or examined in much detail, it seems. Plenty of armchair quarterback “amateur historians” equate “WWII as ‘the good war’. It had the ‘bad guys’ vs. `Merica (fuck yeah! We’re #1!)”…, and WWI…
