No one can accuse Jesse James Dupree of being a lazy man. If you know him only as the frontman for Jackyl or that guy from the Full Throttle Saloon TV show, you don't even know the half of it. What doesn't he do? He has his own bourbon and his own beer. His aptly named Mighty Loud Entertainment company
Five years ago, not many people thought a talk show consisting of three guys from New Jersey debating heavy metal would ever find an audience. But 12 seasons and 100 episodes later, That Metal Show has become VH1's longest running original show, and has amassed a large cult following of die hard metalheads along the way. The success of That Metal Show, or TMS as it's affectionately
The reality television series Ex-Wives of Rock might arguably be described as a real-life version of Desperate Housewives.

TesseracT is a progressive band out of the UK that formed back in 2007. The band’s latest release, Altered State, is a musical masterpiece combining elements from across the board. With a fresh lead vocalist the band has come out swinging once again. In a recent interview with bassist Amos Williams we got to discuss a wide array of topics
Picture Me Broken is the brainchild of Brooklyn Allman and has recently released a fine example of rock n' roll music entitled Mannequins.

Devour the Day was included in the lineup when well-known Hinder and not so well-known up-and-coming band Acidic, played Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, Iowa on Sunday, June 16, 2013. The Memphis, TN based band is considered the reincarnation of Egypt Central, with a much different sound than the now defunct alternative metal band. Devour the Day incorporates
One of the first thoughts upon listening to Road Sick Eyes, the latest album from Mark Knight and the Unsung Heroes, is that as a singer, Mark Knight is a pretty good guitar player. Sounds odd, right? Of course, no one ever lavished praise on the vocal abilities of Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, but those two managed to have pretty good
To be in a great hard rock or heavy metal band that stands the test of time, influencing generations of musicians to come, is no easy task. Few musicians can say they've done it and even fewer can say they've done it three separate times with three separate bands. But Ronnie James Dio was no ordinary musician. Not only did he
Metalcore is a subgenre of heavy metal music that combines the hardcore style with elements of metal. My Heart to Fears release Algorithm captures this style in its purest essence. What the band accomplishes best is they it don't over saturate either of the two elements, but rather pairs the two together in a medley of brutality. My Heart to
One glance at the cover of the EP Coming in Clear by Oslo band Motorfinger, and there is no question what kind of music you will be hearing. Alternative rock, grunge whatever you want to call it. The band is clearly paying homage to bands of the early 1990s. Their name itself is a reference to Soundgarden’s album Badmotorfinger and
In the musical worlds of Post-Hardcore and Hard Rock you will find a lot of stagnicity. These are both genres that haven’t really seen anything new or exciting in a long time, but Picture Me Broken takes a little of both, a lot of musical talent, and gives the listener a fresh taste of what both style are meant to
Red’s fourth studio album, Release the Panic, goes in a different direction than what we are used to from this band to say the least. When they started with their 2006 End the Silence release, they were perhaps one of the hardest hitting hard rock groups in the scene at the time. There are still traces of that time in
True to their progressive roots, TesseracT’s new record Altered State carries the listener off on an adventure in four parts. The bands diverseness and strong overall performance on this album gives you exceptionally heavy elements pinned together with light airy moments that allows the listener to either head bang their way or gently glide through this 10 track epic. Newly
Death Metal focuses on three things; guttural vocals, distorted guitars, and lyrics that invoke violent and/or graphic images. The style that Abated Mass of Flesh plays is called Brutal Death Metal, and just with that genre name alone it should be easy to tell it takes these styles to the max. Their release Brutal Death is a blissful hammer to
A band that is educated more so than other bands on combining unrelenting brutality with melodic hardcore sentiments, Heaven Shall Burn proves that time has only sharpened their skills with VETO. After completing the celebrated Iconoclast trilogy, VETO shows a blend of their older style from Antigone mixed with Iconoclast song writing technique. The unison of the guitars in Godiva
These guys hail from Canada and must feast on a daily portion of virgin blood, "psychobilly" bone scraps and the very finest punk-injected poison droplets. The Monster Within isn’t their debut album if you're unfamiliar with their name; instead it follows in the shadow of their tradition of producing fabulous upbeat, hook-laden horror punk with generous amounts of psychobilly debris
Devastating on many levels, is the easiest way to describe Your Chance to Dies new release. With that being said where to begin in describing their latest record The American Dream? The first thing to do is get any stigmas about this band out of your head immediately. Yes they are a female fronted melodic death metal band out of
Producer Mats Valentin is at the helm for a third time working with The Poodles, after the success and buzz created by The Poodles last album, Performocracy. So what does this fifth studio album from the Swedish melodic metal merchants/hard rockers give us? Well if the first song Misery Loves Company is anything to go by, then a promising album. Shut
If you’re already familiar with British melodic metalcore merchants Bury Tomorrow, or fellow UK-based alternative rock outfit Mallory Knox, then you may have heard about these guys. Vocalist Mikey Chapman and bassist Sam Douglas of the latter of those two bands add their talents to the song Maybe, whilst Daniel Winter-Bates who fronts the former adds his vocals to the
Stardog Champion consists of former Breaking Benjamin bassist Mark Klepaski and guitarist Aaron Fink, along with non ex-Breaking Benjamin members Nick Coyle (lead vocals) and drummer Josh Karis (originally from Leroy Justice).
