Ry Mohon – Ry2k FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Ry-Mohon-1549701441995989/ Talk about a nobody, Ry Mohon’s social media count is slim to none, Twitter and Facebook being in about the 100’s, has got a long way to go. Santa Fe, New Mexico where he did call home, now he stays in Boston, Massachusetts, still …

  Nobody’s Babe, aka Rachael Soluri, wrote The Words I Mean to Say after she exited inpatient therapy and the result is an album that is so honest, sometimes screaming with pain, that one can’t help but praise Soluri for putting all of herself into the record and being brave …

Fit For a King’s latest release, Deathgrip, is quite a morbid album. Each song deals with a particular story or aspect surrounding death or dying. The concept is certainly eye-catching, and one that I was keen to look into. The idea for this record was inspired by a time of …

Three years after their well-received fifth studio album, 8:18, The Devil Wears Prada has shook the metal-core genre once again with Transit Blues. Although The Devil Wears Prada is typically categorized and found under “metal-core,” Transit Blues explores and blends aspects from other genres, such as atmospheric rock and ambient …

Ohio’s Static Tension is a progressive grunge quartet whose roots stretch back to the late 90s. Their lead guitarist, Greg Blachman, had initially coined the name for the band’s subsequent release, 1999’s Paint By Number. The band then ceased activity after two more years, but not without an effort to …

  Cinders is certainly making a splash on their self titled debut album. From start to finish the band has put together an LP that some veteran artists can’t even come close to. “Dog Heart” kicks off the whole experience, and if the title sounds a bit strange to you, …

With their latest release, The Cartesian, progressive metalcore outfit The World to Come demonstrate a fascinating focus on ruthless grit combined with airy tone. The band takes clear inspiration from multiple genres including grindcore, prog rock, mathcore, and copious other styles which has given them a distinct sound that is …

It’s been three years and two side projects since Alter Bridge’s Fortress hit the airwaves, but the wait for a new album is finally coming to an end this Friday, October 7th. The Last Hero, has been percolating over the fires of the current political climate. Its imagery is saturated with 1940’s war-time …

Cranky George – Fat Lot of Good  FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/CrankyGeorgeMusic/  The fourteen songs on Cranky George’s full length debut, Fat Lot of Good, show off the risk-taking and musical expertise you expect from the release going in. However, listeners likely won’t expect that the album’s songwriting does such a clear-eyed job …

Yellowcard’s self-titled final album is unequivocally just that—a final album. From its heartfelt lyrics thanking fans for their dedication, to its tendency to linger on the final notes of every song, this is an album that says goodbye. It feels perfected and put together, as if they have ensured this …

  Balance and Composure’s Light We Made, out Oct 7th, does not have much of a balance to it. But that doesn’t stop the album from being enjoyable and something fans will devour once released. “Midnight Zone” starts off the whole LP experience and it is one of the most …

n Just from the title of the album alone, i.AM.Vixen, one can see that Annmarie Fox is ready to make a bold impression on listeners, and put out something completely different from her last single. The effort doesn’t always work in her favor, but the album is still worthy of …
