Shedding their previous glam-punk skin Hot Topic schlocky imagery, New Jersey’s The Banner busts out of the gate with fangs-out ferocity on their new release, the 12-track Frailty.

The song suddenly thrashes out with James Hetfield barking. You can definitely hear the …And Justice […]
Kingston Falls’ Armada On Mercury displays the good ideas that Grade used back in the day with the bad ideas of every unlistenable metalcore troupe you can muster.
