Rife with suspense, the movie thrills better than any modern day horror, with only 1/100th the budget. While some of the dialogue is a bit shaky at times, Bruce Campbell steals the show and goes on to become one of the most badass horror heroes throughout the series. The movie suffers a bit at times due to its low budget as some of the effects are lacking, but the way the film is shot and the camera techniques ...

I couldn't wait to get my dirty, greedy hands on it, so I downloaded the leaked version right when it was available. To be completely honest, I was disappointed at first. It wasn't as "deep" as Call of the Wretched Sea, and it has a lot less atmosphere. That being said, this has grown on me since. Once I realized ...

It wasn't progressive metal in the way I had come to expect: dazzling changes in speed, guitar wankery, up-tempo metal, lots of solos and frenetic riffs, etc. With a name like Frantic Bleep, you would expect the band to be a little more, well, frantic. What I got on first listen (to "...But A Memory") was much more ethereal and atmospheric. The soaring opening ...

The new vocalists compliment eachother very well and old fans can finally breathe that sigh of relief to find that Christian really wasn't much of a loss. The album sticks to Scar Symmetry's signature blend of harsh and melodic elements and brings about a solid release that just about any fan of their previous works will appreciate. For most the ...

It has happened to me only one time, and that is with the legendary Pagan Altar's third full-length album, after more than 20 years of only bootleg recordings. Now, this is probably the most emotional music I have ever heard form a NWOBHM band, playing in the style of most NWOBHM bands. Except this has a wonderfully ...

D'espairs Ray - RAZOR The first time I heard about this band was from Camlann's first demo with his cover of the song "~Reddish~ DIVA Version" and I wanted to hear more.

This is very groovy thrash metal, much like Sepultura. This is a very short demo, with only two short songs on it. The first song, "Terrorvision" is pretty good. By this song alone, you can hear the pros and cons of the band. The production is very bass-heavy, giving it a heavy sound. The guitars sound nice, the drums sound nice, but the biggest problem here is the vocals. To sum it up: ...

Randomly hearing their song 'Starry Sky' while 'Pipe' was DJ'ing on Desuchan Radio over Winamp I was instantly hooked, and I only caught the very end of the song due to taking a shit. But boy was I glad when I got their album 'Sugarless GiRL'. Such a powerful fucking journey through 80s worship Japanese Electro that was. Soon I found their ...
