Lately, Al Jorgensen has been a busy man.

Quality female-fronted metal bands are somewhat hard to come by. For many years, the genre has primarily dominated by males, but Simmons Records/UME band Kobra And The Lotus, featuring vocalist Kobra Paige, are here to challenge that domination.

Since their formation, they've put out one great album after the other, the songwriting and arranging is always impeccable,
The feud of the West Virginia/Kentucky Hatfield’s and McCoy’s has become American legend, having become synonymous with any long-standing, bitter feud. The story has been immortalized in countless television shows and movies, and most recently, both a mini-series and a reality show on the History Channel. This is no history lesson, but the McCoy brothers of Bobaflex have a connection

If you’re not familiar with the proposition called The Answer, then now is a great time to catch up on the buzz.

They’re a four-piece which consist of
At 7:00 p.m. Los Angeles, California. It’s time to break from band practice as Jacky Vincent from Falling In Reverse does just that to chat about his solo album. “We’re all in L.A. at the moment having band practice.

If you love your thrash metal, then you’re probably still recovering from the wonderful and colossal Dark Roots of Earth album by Testament, or you’re still sunbathing in the ferocious progressive glow of the riffaholic Death Magnetic by Metallica. But thrash metal isn’t just about the ‘Bay Area’; other countries have their fair share of talent to showcase. UK-based thrash metal titans
Quick—when you think of Southern rock, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Lynyrd Skynyrd? Sweet Home Alabama? How about Bournmouth, England? Say what?? Bournmouth, England? As in the UK? Yup!

When one thinks of hard rock/heavy metal, the city of Cork, Ireland would probably not be on any fan of that genre's radar. However, with the release of the self-titled EP from Inhale The Fall, this could cause many a rocker to break out the map for a quick geography lesson. Inhale The Fall has an interesting arrangement for a band—a
Metal fans are thrashing their heads for American metal band SOiL’s new album.

It is amazing how many great, young, extremely talented bands are out there just waiting to be discovered. Western Sand is all of the above, and more. By their name, their logo (a ram’s head skull) and, most importantly, listening to their four-song, self-titled EP, you’d swear they were from a small town in Alabama. They are, in fact, from
A follow-up to Bobaflex’s 2011 album Hell In My Heart (which featured hit singles Bury Me With My Guns On, Chemical Valley, and a remake of Simon and Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence) has much to live up to, and the boys have taken on that task with confidence.

On September 10th, Backbeat Books released Reinventing Metal:The True Story of Pantera and the Tragically Short Life of Dimebag Darrell by Neil Daniels.

The sixth studio album by this down to earth, UK-based thrash five-piece continues where Sounds of Violence left off.

As with their 2011 debut album What Are You so Scared Of?, lead vocalist Jenna McDougall delivers her lyrical observations on emotive experiences and
The first few minutes of The On Going Concept’s debut album Saloon are a rather weird experience for a first time listener. After about a minute and a half of hearing the ambiance of a crowded bar on Saturday night entitled Let’s Deal The Cards Again, the listener is then completely assaulted by the ear splitting opening riff of the title track. This is
You see the cover artwork and you notice the first song is called Dirty Rock n’Roll which might well suggest one style of rock music like a sleazy, grimy and rough-around-the-edges approach. This is where the twist in the story slaps you around the face. It doesn’t sound the way you expect it to. Making their style of rock music
