Metal Archives classifies Saffire as a Progressive Metal band, but I’m not hearing a lot in the way of progressiveness. This isn’t to say their debut album From Ashes to Fire (on Inner Wound Recordings) is bad by any means, just not what I had expected. There are some similarities I hear with Symphony...
Drowning Pool, over the past ten years, has been one of the big successes in the metal community. The band has put out four albums to date, each one better than the last. The group brings power and finesse to their sound, producing wave after wave of solid hard rock and heavy metal music....
Today were looking at one of those middle of the road bands. Incura is a little too heavy to be straight hard rock and a little light too be straight heavy metal. In some cases this balancing act can fail like Lil Wayne doing a metal album, but in the case of Incura they...
I was listening to Pink Cream 69 the other day and looking through my email when I came across a band fronted by Pink Cream 69’s David Readman. Since I was in that frame of mind I clicked the link and entered the realm of a throwback sound that brought a smile to my...

I always thought this band had a silly name, and frankly I still do. I must say, however, they can write and play some pretty good Hard Rock / Melodic Metal. No doubt they are masters at crafting a catchy melody and sing-along choruses. With Ceremonial on Frontiers Records, Pink Cream 69 delivers an...
Looking back over my reviews I have reviewed a lot of bands from France. Metalcore, Mathcore, Deathcore, Nintentocore, and Whatevercore! You will notice that trend in this statement: “core.” France has been a hotbed for the core genres and they do it very well. The Sticky Boys must have realized quite quickly there was...

Interview with Zak Stevens of Circle II Circle
I recently had the chance to interview Zak Stevens of Circle II Circle regarding the band’s latest album, Seasons Will Fall, the influence of Savatage on the band and some other odds and ends. WLM: Thanks for taking the time for us at We Love Metal. I have been a fan since your initial album...
