Demos from the orginal voice of Faith No More. A bit raw, a bit of a hip hop meets rock maybe metal feel in some tracks. Eh.
Sinsaenum
Echoes Of The Tortured
earMUSIC
Joey Jordison dropped off the face of the earth after being ousted by Slipknot, apparently for health reasons, but now he’s back with a few projects right out of the gate. This one is more of a blackened death metal thing and it’s brutal and catchy. Great stuff.
Seek Irony
Tech N’ Roll
Motorhead Music/UDR
Basically a commercial-accessible hard rock thing with catchy licks and clean vox. (a little nickelback-like) Some electronic stuff going on too, maybe a Static-X lite (but with the clean vox)
Carnifex
Slow Death
Nuclear Blast USA
Brutal deathcore, good low end, catchy heavy heavy brutal breakdowns and even some decent melodic-ish stuff all while keeping it brutal and touching a little into black metal territory.
Bloody Hammers
Lovely Sort Of Death
Napalm Records
This is some gothy doom hard rock.
BENEATH THE STORM
Lucid Nightmare
Argonauta Records
A little sludgey, a lot of doomy and yeah that makes for a bit stoner metal too. however, it just doesn’t seem to go anywhere, just kinda staying on that even doomy tempo.
STORMTIDE
Wrath of an Empire
Label: Metal Hell Records
Symphonic death metal. Modern melodic blackened death with a seemingly sythny symphonic thing going on. It almost sounds like a regular death metal recording with someone on a keyboard dubbing over it. It’s cool, just an odd mix in the production of the thing.

Jewel of the Vile
Metal Blade Records
Melodic heavy classic metal type thing. Clean vox, heavy almost heavy thrash sound going on along with good melodic stuff too.

Infamous Gehenna is a punked up sludge type thing and Bleach Everything is also a punky thing, but more on the hardcore side of things.
Temple Nightside
The Hecatomb CD/LP
Iron Bonehead
Sludgey doom noise metal. meh.
INTEGRITY

A Smear Campaign – RADIO SINGLE
Frontiers Music s.r.l.
A new Geoff Tate type thing. Kind of follows along the lines of his other solo stuff and Ryche before he left, a bit of a power ballad thing with his signature voice. This track starts off with a kind of heavy-ish buildup intro into a bit of a slower groovin’ hard rock thing. I think I hear horns too.
Dead Ranch
Antler Royal
No List (Asher)
Kind of a heavy more raw Mastodon type thing
Band: CUT THE NAVEL STRING
