Our friends at Wing’s Denied sent over a track from their latest release; a split with As Oceans. The song features their unusual take on metal and their music always strikes me as something new and innovative. I think after hearing Kill! Eat! Pray! you will tend to agree.

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...
A plethora of words come to my mind in describing the oceans on our planet: placid, serene, deep, complex, violent, dangerous, expansive, alive. Each of these terms can also be used to describe Progressive Metal group The Ocean and their latest offering, Pelagial on Metal Blade Records. I had no idea what to expect...
What I have for you today is a duo that sounds like a 12 piece band. Heavier than hell and groovier than the half-naked drunk girl dancing at the bar (trust me, that’s a whole lot of groovy). Chosen are transplants from Ireland that ended up in Vancouver with a sound that is crushing...
In a previous review, I discussed Intronaut’s single Milk Leg release from this album, Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words With Tones) on Century Media. I enjoyed the song and have been looking forward to the album being released ever since. Certainly Intronaut is eclectic and progressive in their approach to music – not all of...
When I played DGM‘s latest album Momentum for the very first time, I thought, “Wow – this is awesome!” The band has really elevated their songwriting and execution with their 8th album on Scarlet Records. After many more listens, it is still quite awesome. In fact, this is in my top 3 so far this...
It seems like Italian Power and Progressive Metal bands have been rather prolific with album releases over the last couple of years – Kingcrow, Heimdall, Sound Storm, Elvenking, and DGM (an upcoming review) are just a few. I’m sure I missed some. A number of Italian bands in those genres don’t do a great deal...
Mattias “IA” Eklundh is a Swedish guitarist, founder of the eclectic Metal band, Freak Kitchen, a band of which I am certainly a fan. The Smorgasbord is his third album under the moniker of Freak Guitar, essentially a solo album, and isn’t one I would quite classify as Metal. It is more of a...
I have heard of Intronaut, but never really heard anything by them. I got a copy of their single Milk Leg from their upcoming album Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words With Tones) from Century Media Records. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but after a listen or two, I was hooked. I thought at first...
