Album Review: Terrortory – City of Ghosts

city of ghostsUpon first glance of the band name “Terrortory” I’ve found myself feeling suspicious about what I am in for. I envision a picture of Tory Lane really pissed off after some dude shoots his wad in her hair. I see what they are getting at tho. Like “Hey bro! This is our territory!” but…its Terrortory? Kind of a cheesy name right? My thoughts exactly! Metal archives  informs me that they are from Sweden. That was my first thought after listening to the first track “New World Order” off of their latest EP “City of Ghosts”

Album Review: Jungle Rot – Terror Regime

TERROR REGIMEHere it is ladies and gents, new Jungle Rot! They’ve brought us 11 wall-punchingly brutal tracks that push the definition of heavy.  After listening to Terror Regime at least 4 times through, I can say it will definitely be one of my favorite albums of this year already and I will try my hardest to see these fellas live.  Now, myself being a huge thrash fan, this album pleased me a lot as they incorporated a lot of thrash elements but still kept their devastating death metal ways to produce some nasty ear drum bursting music.

Music Update: THRESHOLD, AGNOSTIC FRONT, TESTAMENT, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, AUROCH, SCYTHIA & HAWK EYES

This morning on our Music Update: We start off with Threshold, a blend of power metal and progressive metal and that combination is something rare when it comes to music I discover. Threshold has released a lyric video for their song “Ashes” and it’s a fun track to listen to. Very futuristic and very rock n roll, I appreciate the clean singing vocals as it gives me a little relief from the constant growling and grunting you hear in metal these days. I love the screaming vocals but it’s always nice to change it up a bit. Musically the riffing and composition seems simple, with minor time changes and a sweet solo, “Ashes” was a pretty good song.
