MGK IS ROCK’S NEW RAPPER ON ‘TICKETS TO MY DOWNFALL’ (REVIEW)

Matthew Powers 0
It’s safe to say when Machine Gun Kelly (abbreviated as MGK) began uploading videos to his YouTube with a guitar around his neck playing Paramore covers and doing Linkin Park tributes, the rock world let out a loud cheer. There’s hardly a bad side to someone from the world of mainstream hip hop and pop […]

REVIEW: FIT FOR A KING ‘THE PATH’; “DOWN THE BEATEN PATH”

Matthew Powers 0
The average life of a modern metalcore band is ironically 1 to 3 albums of actual metalcore then at least 2 albums of genre experimentation or radio rock. Fit For A King have already outlived this generalization. 2018’s Dark Skies was a seminal record that found the Solid State five man outfit growing their sound […]

REVIEW: ‘WE ARE CHAOS’ – MARILYN MANSON ORCHESTRATES OUR MADNESS

Matthew Powers 0
Don’t let words like ‘accessible’ and ‘relatable’ make you believe that Marilyn Manson’s latest work can’t still crawl under your skin. The shock rock artist’s new record, We Are Chaos, goes places that might bewilder listeners, that is if they haven’t been following Manson’s later-day efforts. His consistent push to a hazier, more introspective approach […]

TOP ALBUMS OF THE 10S: 2012

Matthew Powers 0
2012 — A year the Mayan calendar predicted would host the end times. Also the same year the movie based off that idea was still taken seriously and not considered a comedy. In heavy music, it was a year of massive growth for the different sonic templates a band could implement. There was an air […]

REVIEW: IN HEARTS WAKE DETAIL THE END OF AGES ON ‘KALIYUGA’

Matthew Powers 0
Australia’s In Hearts Wake have a particular interest in associating the end of the world as we know it with the theming of their albums. Last time around, we had Ark and visions of floods and torrential downpours washing us away through radio rock hybridized metalcore. This time around, Kaliyuga, translated as ‘the end of ages’, […]

PREMIERE: VICE VERSA RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “LUST” (TRACK ANALYSIS)

Matthew Powers 0
Vice Versa’s new single, “Lust”, is a bruising mission statement for the Sacramento metalcore quartet. Containing both flashes of nostalgic aggression and modern stylistic flair, “Lust” is the group’s latest and greatest upload to the internet’s music super highway. The stabs of slanted, percussive cymbal work and the group’s grasp on climactic moments of intense […]

SUNSPEAR RELEASE NEW SINGLE “MORII” (SINGLE ANALYSIS)

Matthew Powers 0
In SUNSPEAR’s explosive new single, “Morii” (translated from Latin as ‘Death’), the listener can hear all of the weight that the term itself implies. Brimming with a fantastic mixture of rising atmosphere, climactic heaviness and a melodious tapping guitar lead, it’s easy to draw comparisons to veterans of the progressive metalcore sound such as Erra […]
