Review: WIS(H)KEY

If you were to ask me which two genres of music are furthest apart I would probably select heavy metal and country (or classical and rap). Either way, these pairings would sit at opposite ends of the spectrum in my mind. WIS(H)KEY do their best to stomp all over that notion of separation, mixing...

Album Review: Wizards of Kaos

As someone hailing from the Eastern part of Canada I have affection for Newfoundland built into my genes. The people of this rocky province are known for a couple of things: fishing and a kindness that is unmatched by anyone in the world. There are those stupid “newfie” jokes as well, but they were...

Artist Profile: Davey Suicide

There is a publicist named Tom George from TAG Publicity I am fortunate enough to work with that will push my limits on what I listen to and review. He has introduced me to the likes of Mary Magdalen and Celldweller. Those two acts generated a lot of mail with “That’s Not Metal!” in...

Review: Emerald Sun — Regeneration

So much of what we communicate isn’t in our words, but in our tone. Sarcasm, for example, depends largely on tone. When teenage girls tell each other to “Uh, shut up!” at the mall it carries a completely different message than when the librarian hisses it at you from behind a stack of books....

Review: Odium — Burning The Bridges To Nowhere

My virtual dictionary tells me the definition of “odium” is intense hatred or dislike. This, combined with the title of Odium’s new album, “Burning The Bridges To Nowhere”, led me to believe I was about to experience some serious heavy rocking, some intense metal truly worthy of the name. It certainly got me looking...

Review: Chopstick Suicide — Lost Fathers and Sons

On paper the group Chopstick Suicide has a distinct pattern and form. Put aside for a moment that their name sounds like a vampire taking his own life in an oriental restaurant and let’s look at some numbers. The group has been around for four years, they have put out four albums, there are...

Album Review: Cancer Bats – Dead Set on Living

The history of We Love Metal and the Cancer Bats goes back pretty much to the beginning of the site. They were one of the first harder punk bands we covered and when I saw them live I was hooked for life. We have talked to front man Liam Cormier several times both over...

Review: Deadly Kiss – Alone In The Void

Deadly Kiss’s album Alone In The Void came out in 2011, so admittedly I’m late to this party, but I want to take a moment to talk about this interesting EP. The disc is short, featuring just five tracks, but it has such a down to Earth quality of metal I feel it deserves...

Album Review: ION VEIN

Chris Lotesto – guitar, backing vocals Chuck White – drums, percussion Rob Such – bass Scott Featherstone – lead vocals “ION” meaning “Charged” and “Vein” as in the body so it means Charging the body and that’s how I felt when I got to listen to their newest release “IV v 1.0” but first...
