Editorial Product Review:Album Description:No shortcuts. No compromises. No BS. From their modest beginnings in New England's hardcore scene to their current status as one of the most influential and inspirational forces in modern music, Killswitch Engage have played by these three simple rules. With their new, fourth album, As Daylight Dies, KsE are proving that if you keep playing the game your way, you'll eventually change the rules for everyone else. We never consciously went out of our way to be different,guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz says from the band's home base in Westfield, Massachusetts. When ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:The title track of The End Of Heartache is an unabashed monster of a song, different than anything the band has ever written. Its epic drive nearly crosses the border into power-ballad territory. 'Rose of Sharyn' is an anthem that's heavy in the most non-traditional of senses, building with dynamic energy into a crescendo with a chorus that is perhaps The End of Heartache's biggest reward. 'When Darkness Falls,' heard during the closing credits of 'Freddy Vs. Jason,' was the first song Jones ever wrote with the band and falls right ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:The sludgy, raw and fierce Mastodon blurs the line between metal, rock and prog with their major-label debut, Blood Mountain. :You could have passed it off as a fluke. Remission was an awesome album, helping revitalize metal and bringing the band much deserved notice. Leviathan was a gigantic leap, perhaps the most ambitious metal album in years. But could it keep going? People were concerned–-side glances were given, hand wringing began as Mastodon moved to a major. And for what? Turns out for nothing. Blood Mountain is flat-out amazing. If anything, ...

The band has released ten studio albums, one boxed set, and one live album.

Editorial Product Review: :Special Edition CD/DVD set includes three bonus tracks. The bonus DVD features a previously unreleased full concert from Warsaw, Poland, 2005. The Soulfly tribe is once again on the warpath.Soulfly' s sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, may very wellbe the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart. The songs muchlike the warriors in the film- channel raw, unbridled rage through acacophony of thrash guitars, infectious grooves, tribal polyrhythms andMax Cavalera' s unmistakable, thunderous roar. On this record, Soulflyunleash a metallic mayhem unlike anything they' ve done previously.Conquer shifts from unrelenting, precise ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Japanese pressing. RR. 2005. :Opeth's Ghost Reveries is a Prog/Death masterstroke, becoming more simplistic in places while expanding the overall template. Having explored their split personalities in great detail on Deliverance and Damnation, Opeth pulls them back together for Ghost Reveries, and in the process they have once again upped the ante on what a Death Metal band can accomplish. While there is a bolder use of instrumentation on this release, the rhythms and time changes have simplified just a bit, giving the songs on Ghost Reveries a more direct impact. ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Sweden's brightest metal hopefuls Burst plow headlong into eternity with their flowing grace and force of conviction of fragile, melodic vocals intertwine with explosive screams, while waves of guitar weave songs as expressive and elaborate as human emotion itself. The 2008 album, Lazarus Bird, turned out to be a tougher and more daring record than their previous work. Still it maintains the spirit of sonic adventure that has become Bursts calling card. Never a band to submit to the confines of subgenres, Burst refuse to be pigeonholed and in doing so ...
