Sepultura
Sepultura A-Lex [3.5/5]
To some, Brazilian metal pioneers Sepultura don’t exist without brothers/founders Max and Igor Cavalera, yet even with just classic-era members Andreas Kisser (guitar) and Paulo Jr. (bass) remaining, Sepultura have survived. For their 11th release, the retooled group cooked up A-Lex, a 60-minute concept album based on the Anthony Burgess book/Stanley Kubrick...
Goblin Cock
Goblin Cock Come With Me If You Want To Live [3.5/5]
It’s probably safe to say that if the Catholic Church moved the Vatican Choir to San Diego, Rob Crow would wind up singing lead. The multi-instrumentalist and member of Pinback and Heavy Vegetable (to name a few) is known for his ability to redirect...
Christ Inversion
Christ Inversion Christ Inversion [3/5]
Polarizing Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo stepped into the background on this newly reissued black-metal project.

Architects [UK]
Architects [UK] Hollow Crown [2.5/5]
Modern architecture values simplicity, favoring straight lines over baroque curlicues, and Architects (UK) have followed the trend. The Brighton, England-based band decorated its 2006 debut Nightmares with tech-metal squiggles and rococo percussion, but Hollow Crown eliminates most of those virtuoso adornments, replacing them with speedy hardcore, choppy grooves and relatively...
Architect
Architect Ghost Of The Salt Water Machines [3/5]
Architect’s 2007 debut All Is Not Lost throbbed with the sort of visceral musical and lyrical antipathy that made ’90s metalcore innovators Deadguy such a revelation. The band aimed their loathing toward a corrupt and collapsing society, torn apart by venality and ignorance. Its follow-up, Ghost Of...
