ALBUM REVIEW: VIOLENCE – TEAR OUT THE HEART

This album has EVERYTHING that you could ever want in a metal album: a great intro, a full and varied body, and a capstone that sums up the album as a whole.

ALBUM REVIEW: KYLESA - FROM THE VAULT VOL. 1

It is good to see a band spend time and effort on a B-side collection, unlike most bands or record labels that push out these collections to either generate money for the label or buzz for an upcoming record, Kylesa have spent over a year going through their back catalogue to produce a wondrous accumulation of material that will satisfy die hard fans and new fans alike.
