I got a chance to catch “New Medicine” in Abilene and they are the 100% real deal.  These guys have one of the most awesome, energetic, and fun stage shows I’ve seen in a long, long time.

Even if ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ was a terrible disappointment that also punched you in the groin every time you loaded the game, you’d have to buy it.

I first heard Type O Negative when MTV aired the Video For "Black No.1" (they used to actually play videos) and thought it was cool but didn't necessarily feel the need to run out and pick up the album. Fast forward about a year and my bro Chuck picks up a copy of Bloody Kisses and we grab a cold twelve and head to the sticks to ride around and give it a listen. Again, I'm not blown away but not totally turned off by it either.

Machine Head really pissed me off the first time I heard The Burning Red. Seriously - I took off work the day it was released and drove fifty miles to pick up a copy, threw it in and everything started off so promising. And then Rob Flynn started rapping.

Well better late than never I guess but due to some problems with the site (or maybe me?) I wasn't able to get this finished last night so here ya go. I often profess my love for Skeletonwitch so it should come as no surprise that their new album Forever Abomination makes the "Metal Pick" list.

Granted I've only been doing my metal picks for a few months now, but this would be the first time Warbringer would've made the list nonetheless.

In what is sure to come as no surprise to anyone, I've decided to go with Mastodon's new disc "The Hunter" as my metal pick of the week.

Aside from the fact that Revocation can now add "One of the Most Metal Album Covers of All Time" to their list of accomplishments, the new album "Chaos Of Forms" more than delivers when it comes to quality, well thought-out metal.

I hate to group these two together but pretty much everybody else did. I’m talking about “Paul” and “Your Highness.”

Life is good for Anthrax these days - the Big Four of thrash just played their hometown at the home of their beloved Yankees (suck), The Bronx declared last Wednesday "Anthrax Day" and oh yeah...the band just released their first full-length album with Joey Belladonna out front since 1990's Persistence Of Time to some damn good reviews.

I mean it...the new Ringworm album Scars makes me wanna get up and punch my fists at the floor like a friggin' straight edge, hoody sportin', gym short wearin' enthusiast. I've never actually "picked up change" but it looks pretty cool...I'm more of an old school circle-pit-runnin'-into-each-other kinda dude...

At long last, Exhumed have once again unleashed their brand of Carcass worship upon the black t-shirt sportin', bong-rippin', beer drinkin' masses with the release of All Guts, No Glory.
