At their stop in Columbus, Ohio on the 2013 version of Paganfest USA, I had the opportunity to interview Gunnar Thomsen, bass player for Týr. Many thanks to my brother in Metal, Fred for handling the recording duties for me. We had to deal with the tour buses close by and a train passing...

At their stop in Columbus, Ohio on the 2013 version of Paganfest USA, I had the opportunity to interview Sami Hinkka, bass player for Ensiferum. Many thanks to my brother in Metal, Fred for handling the recording duties for me. We had to record near the tour buses, so lots of rumbling in the...

Review – Crippled Minds, Sundered Wisdom by Ramlord

There isn’t a lot of information to be had on New Hampshire’s “Ramlord,” which is OK because when you hear “Crippled Minds, Sundered Wisdom” for the first time you won’t want to know a thing about these extreme and often musically violent grinders. Their screams of agony or pleasure protruding from a tumor of...

A while back I was sent a review request by a new record label that is starting out in a unique fashion. Caligari Records has taken the album “The Test of Time” by single musician Tim Pearson (Deathcult) and re-released it on the classic cassette tape. Yes I said cassette tape! Since vinyl is...

By Martell

I have been getting a lot of press releases from the Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp people and I have to say this would be the dream of a lifetime to head down and rock with some heroes. Apparently even someone with my lack of skill or ability can enjoy the camp and learn...

By Martell

My wife and I have been watching a lot of Cold Case lately and with the show taking place in Philadelphia I became intrigued with new bands that are coming out of the area. Turns out if you want some underground hardcore than Philly might be the place for you to set up shop....

WLM Reviews: The Ocean – Pelagial

April 21, 2013

By Harley

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...

Concert Review: Paganfest USA at Alrosa Villa, Columbus, Ohio

2013 saw the fourth edition of the Paganfest USA tour, the second with Ensiferum headlining the whole thing. I was able to get to Columbus, Ohio (about 90 minutes from where I grew up), driving from Virginia for about 8 hours to the Alrosa Villa Club. It was worth it. I met up with...
