Metal Talk – Ozzy’s Boneyard Cancels Eddie Trunk?
The buzz on the metal wire this morning is that Sirius/XM’s station that is now Ozzy’s Boneyard is canceling Eddie Trunk’s radio show. Check out Trunk’s feed for more info, he has been hinting at it this morning. This is disappointing news if it is true. If I get official confirmation of such cancellation, my […]
Nza’s Review: Kid Rock – Born Free [2010]
I cant believe it but Born Free is Kid Rock’s eighth studio album. Well, not that I’ve been keeping count. The stone cold pimp of the nation is back and has definitely matured as an artist. He seems like a different man is on this album. It’s a long way from the “I am the […]
Track Review: Soulfly "Rise of the Fallen" Omen [2010]
How sick is the new Soulfly song “Rise of the Fallen” from the upcoming album Omen? It’s just balls out brutal! Brazilian metal deity Max Cavalera has dropped another huge atomic hit on the scene. The programming is insane, the groove is comprised of an unbridled intensity, and the tribal percussion is in full Roots-like […]
Year in Review: Top 10 Albums of 2009
1. Slayer – World Painted Blood: “You would think that even a pioneering thrash metal band would evolve and head in a different direction at some point during a career that spans nearly 30 years.

Review: Voices WWE The Music Vol. 9 [2009]
Remember that crazy feeling you used to get inside when you heard the opening power chords to Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” or the theme music for the Ultimate Warrior as you watched him hurl towards the ring at full speed? Well, the WWE recently released its ninth volume of entrance music for some of today’s […]
Review: Willie Basse – The Money Grind [2008]
Wheeling out a healthy dose of hard rock histrionics, Willie Basse returns from the shadows of session musicianship and studio ownership to release his new 14-track endeavor THE MONEY GRIND. Formerly fronting the Los Angeles mainstay Black Sheep (whose name he fortuitously sold to the rap band from the early ’90s), there’s no denying that […]
Review: Hand To Hand – Breaking The Surface [2008]
Hand to Hand is listed by their record label as a hardcore emo rock group, which in fairness to all involved is a good description, fitting the bill for this collective from Orlando, FL. This versatile unit amps up My Chemical Romance-like melodic rock to Trivium-like levels of intense new school metal while taking post-hardcore […]
