Music Review: Green Carnation "A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex"
When a progressive metal band announces a three-album trilogy based on 19th-century French poetry, it’s completely fair to worry that it might turn into a self-indulgent mess. Fortunately, Green Carnation avoids that on The Messiah Complex.

Music Review: The Warning Release Everything's Falling
When the Villareal sisters hit the music scene in 2017, no one could have guessed just how quickly their career would take off. Four studio albums, 2 EPs, and a live album later, the trio from Monterrey, Mexico, also known as The Warning, are back and even more hard hitting in their songwriting with their August 28th release, Everything’s Falling.

Music Review: "HOOMAN AFTER ALL" - SiM
Japanese Reggae PUNX band SiM (Silence iz Mine) is no stranger to pushing the limits and trying something different when it comes to producing music, and with each release of a new album comes a new sound that is still very SiM. Even though they use their own mix of nu-metal, Punk, Reggae/Ska and Hip-Hop "HOOMAN AFTER ALL" SiM's 7th Full length album is a full-on tribute to the prime era of rock from the late nineties to the early nostalgic era of the 2000s.

Music Review: If Not for Me Album "Where the Light Begins to Fade"
If Not for Me's latest album, Where the Light Begins to Fade (via Thriller Records), is a powerful follow-up to the band's previous release, Everything You Wanted.

Music Review: Empires in Orbit Release "Audiodrome"
I sat down to review Empires in Orbit's new release, Audiodrome, and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. This is an artist I had zero background on, and within seconds of the first track, I realized this was something totally outside my normal wheelhouse. While that might turn some people off, it actually excited me. It was something new, something fresh, and something I could approach with zero expectations.

Music Review: Motionless in White, Decades
There’s a lot that can be said about a band that’s been around for two decades. Motionless In White has been called many things over the years: some good, some bad, some ugly. But there’s one thing they can’t be called and that’s stagnant. The Scranton, PA metalcore group released their highly anticipated seventh studio album, aptly titled Decades, in celebration of the band’s 20 year anniversary.

Music Review: The Pretty Reckless Album "Dear God"
In an interview with Loudwire in April, Momsen said,”...It almost has this feel of it [being] directly ripped out of my diary. You're really getting the inside of how my mind works on this one." She’s not wrong. Gone is the ambiguity in the songwriting, giving the listener more of a direct line to the vulnerability and assertiveness Momsen poured into the lyrics.
