Well, I think in the next couple weeks, Mike and I will have to devise some sort of rating system to get a guage of its “Moshpitworthiness” and/or whether we just like it or not.

Dead To Fall
The Phoenix Throne
Victory
42:27 – 10 Tracks
Their first album was a bit of a turn for the folks at Victory Records… from a punk/whatever label to have a band that was actually more “metal.” Well this band has only gotten better over the years. This new (and 3rd) album from these guys stays heavy and even has some black metal sounding guitars here and there. It’s got great guitar work and stays pretty brutal throughout. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Dog Fashion Disco
Adultery
Rotten
46:49 – 12 Tracks
The Latest from Dog Fashion Disco… their semi-unique sound continues in this new album. I say “semi unique” because they share some similarities with some of that Mr. Bungle band. They start off pretty heavy, then get into some more complex, melodic tracks all with that eerie keyboardey sound. They’ve always been pretty cool, stayed true to their sound for pretty much all of their albums and again, they stay true here too. You’ll probably hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Hurt
Vol. 1
Capitol
This isn’t metal… yet another hard rock CD being marketed to metal radio. I think I’ll pass… sorry!

Cretin
Freakery
Relapse
30:01 – 16 Tracks
I’m not quite sure how to describe this. Very raw! Not so great production, but it seems as though it’s like that on purpose. I’d have to say it fits in grindcore category. Just in your face without let-up. Short songs, again… all up in your face! Good stuff.. you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Sudden Death
Unpure Burial
Locomotive
42:45 – 10 Tracks
A nice brutal release from a more indie label! A little bit of Pantera sounding guitars mixed with some death metal make this a decent release. The production seems a bit low budget with the low end sounding a bit “thumpy.” Vocals go from some metal scream/growls to cookie monster. It’s a good mix of death and thrash metal all in one package! You’ll hear this on the Pit!

Here’s what we played on the Mosh Pit March 20th, 11p-2am

Top 5 Adds

3) Edguy
4) Rammstein
5) Yakuza

Other Adds: Scissorfight, Vore, Anaka, The Sweet

Here’s the new stuff in the mail this week along with my “review” or take or whatever…. the best way to know, is to listen to the show!

Yakuza
Samsara
Prosthetic
50:14 – 10 Tracks
This has kind of a sludgey doom feel too it. Probably more or less for fans of Neurosis… but decent. (I don’t care for Neurosis!) It gets mellow and trippy at some points, but then all out metal in others. Definately something that’s not like everything else! You’ll hear this on the Pit!

Scissorfight
Jaggernaut
Hydra Head
40:25 – 12 Tracks
Time for some old school stoner metalish music! Great low end chugga chugga sound. Cool riffs, catchy songs. Good production This is their 9th album, so they’ve got it together by now! haha. Pretty good stuff. It’s a fun album and you’ll probably hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Machinemade God
The Infinity Complex
Metal Blade
42:56 – 13 Tracks
This has the new-metalcore sound… but how about with more metal and less “core”? The album starts out with a great metal freight train assault. These guys are from Germany and have that “New Wave of American Heavy Metal” sound. I think the fact that these guys aren’t just another one of those American metalcore bands is something they have going for them. They don’t let up at all, pretty brutal in parts, no whiney choruses. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Edguy
Rocket Ride
Nuclaer Blast
60:10 – 12 Tracks
The German powermetallers are back with thier latest effort. They’ve always put out solid hard rock/power metal albums. This is no exception. No frills clean singy vocals with great playing and riffage behind the vox. We’ve been a little bit of a drought of decent power metal, so this is a welcome release! You’ll hear this on the Pit!!

And the best for last…

Witchery
Don’t Fear The Reaper
Century Media
47:21 – 14 Tracks
What more can I say about this CD besides the fact that it rules. Starts off with an almost 3 minute Slayer-like intro, into just pure metal. This is the swedish sound the way it’s supposed to be. Black metal elements mixed with some thrash and sick riffing. It’s all here folks. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit for sure!! This is one of the better albums of this genre since At The Gates’ “Slaughter of the Soul”

Rammstein, Vore, Anaka and The Sweet are releases that have not arrived yet, maybe I’ll get a review up here, maybe not.

Here’s what we played on the Mosh Pit from 11pm – 2am on March 13th, 2006…

Here’s the weekly new stuff mini-review crap…

First off, a note….
On one of the “new stuff this week” posts a couple weeks ago, someone left a comment that I was an idiot for a review I had… I never claimed these mini-reviews to be the be-all end all review of reviews. Honestly, sometimes I don’t even listen to the whole CD before writing stuff, mostly it’s just first impressions and what it might sound like right away to me. I have always said I suck at writing and well, I suck at reviewing too. Basically this is an outline to go along with what you hear NEW on the radio show this week… or maybe not.

Megaherz
5
Eclipse
55:08 – 13 Tracks
Well, due to the German language, there will be obvious comparisons to Rammstein. And it’s true. They do sound a bit like them. In my opinion, not as aggressive… but still pretty cool. It’s a “Rammstein” that plays it save.

Crowpath
Son Of Sulphur
Willowtip
33:55 – 12 Tracks
Just all out in your face beginning. An eclectic mix of brutal metal sounds. Typical release from Willowtip though.. great production, good sounding band, yet still underground. The bio sheet says it’s recommended if you like Converge, Mastodon or Botch. It sounds decent and you’ll probably hear this on the pit.

Kill the Client
Escalation of Hostility
Willowtip
29:03 – 15 Tracks
This is a classic sounding grindcore album. A bit muddy, sludgy, fast, brutal and “barney-esque” vocals. If you like the old Napalm Death, you’ll like this!

Atreyu
A Death-Grip On Yesterday
Victory
They still have a great sound. Catchy yet brutal in parts. Again, not much groundbreaking material here. Just another solid release. They were announced as one of the 2nd stage headliners on Ozzfest this summer, so they seem to be going places. I do feel the urge to go to hot topic during these whiney chorus parts!

Cannibal Corpse
“Kill” 3 Song Sampler
Metal Blade
8:31 – 3 Tracks
How can you not like Cannibal Corpse? haha. Just plain heavy brutal death metal like it should be. Corpsegrinder really seems to shine on this. It sounds good and brutal. All three tracks are great. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Ligiea
Your Ghost Is A Gift
Ferret Music
43:04 – 11 Tracks
Produced by Ken from Unearth. (the eat a dick guitar guy) you can tell. It has a similar sound and while it has great crisp sounding production. Nothing new or groundbreaking here and again, clean vocals mixed with growls with slow and brutal parts back and forth.

Queensryche
“I’m American” single
Rhino

The first single from Operation:Mindcrime 2 smokes! They really don’t let up in this track and from hearing some of the rest of the album, Queensryche comes out saying “we’re back!” It seems like everyone is saying this is their best album since Promised Land and they’re right. This single is probably the heaviest on the album and has enough themes to remind you it’s a sequel to “O:M”

Lacuna Coil
“Our Truth” single
Century Media
6:57 – 2 Tracks (one “hot version” one “cool version”)
From their forthcoming album Karmakode, a good solid track, puts everything that makes Lacuna Coil Lacuna Coil in this track. Good solid music, seems like there’s a lot more female vox than previous efforts, although you know they will market Christina as the main person in this band… understandible! Decent track, we’ll probably play this, but other stations have jumped on it, so probably not for very long.

Here’s what we played on March 6, 2006! Hope you enjoyed it…
