Gallows - Grey Britain
Grey Britain For their major-label debut, British attitude-rockers Gallows let up on their snarling hardcore to give the proceedings some space to resonate. Sure, the tandem guitars of Stephen Carter and Laurent Barnard erect a scaffold of angularity and velocity from which frontman Frank Carter bellows his pointed diatribes of modern Britain. But while there...
Fact - Fact
Fact Fact Fact may be from Japan, but you wouldn't know it by listening to the band's North American debut. The band sound like they come from an imaginary country where it's acceptable to mix everything from pop-punk to screamo into a mélange of music containing no unifying themes. Oh, and did we mention they...
Hatebreed - For The Lions
For The Lions What would a Hatebreed album consisting entirely of covers sound like? Well, here it is, and it's pretty much what you'd expect.

Wavering Radiant continues the progression, introducing increased use of Rhodes piano and melodic vocals-welcome additions that sturdily balance the soul-smashing doom passages. Isis have beaten heaviness to death, and...

Though some might fear the band have lost their edge, their latest album is more focused and,...
Psyopus - Odd Senses
Odd Senses It takes a virtuosic level of instrumental prowess to make tech-metal compelling. Psyopus possess the skills, but, as the Steve Vais of the world prove, proficiency alone doesn't necessarily translate into edifying songs. Odd Senses consists of sonic bursts of varying speed haphazardly sewn together. It works in spots, like on the piercing guitar squalls...
The Crystal Method - Divided By Night
Divided By Night Addicts, be it meth or techno, age just as horrendously, as former child stars clinging to the same youthful seductions. When the Crystal Method say they don't like formulas–just before one endures the patchwork museum piece that is Divided By Night–it's clear the problems of addiction to old squelchy presets and tired song...
