Solitude Aeturnus – Alone
March 3rd, 2007
» 4 out of 5 Evil Faces
Okay, here is a band that hails from right down the road from me. Well, maybe a little farther, but compared to all the other bands that I listen too this one is rather close.
This is not a new band. They have been around for 20 years now. Though there was a hiatus for the last 7 or so.
Solitude Aeturnus hailing from none other than Arlington, Texas. formed back in 1987 and unleashed their somber doom metal songs onto the world, or at least North Texas.
Anyway, I remember seeing Solitude Aeturnus play at a local club back in the late 80′s or maybe early 90′s. At least I think it was them. I was young, dumb and full of… alcohol. 
So I could be mistaken. Admittedly this was not my favorite band growing up. As previously mentioned they are rather somber and doomy. When I was young I was into only fast speed and death metal.
Coffins – The Other Side Of Blasphemy
February 22nd, 2007
» 4 out of 5 Evil Faces
Okay ladies and gentlemen. It is once again time for another review. This time we are going to head east, to the far east in fact as this is a band from the other side of the Earth. (for me anyway)
Japanese doom metal masters Coffins are back with their slow, sludgy style of doom/death metal.
The Other Side Of Blasphemy has definite similarities with Celtic Frost and Winter, but is also unique in it’s own special way. The riffs are slightly repetitive and go slower then molasses but there are some up tempo parts that combine to make The Other Side Of Blasphemy a must have CD for any fan of doom metal.

Children Of Nar/Sars the Attack – Global Assault
February 11th, 2007
» 2 out of 5 Evil Faces
So I got a request to review this CD and even received a free copy in the mail for doing so.
It turns out to be a split CD featuring the bands Children of Nar and SARS the Attack. These 2 bands feature the same guitarist but are far different from one another.
Children Of Nar
They seem to be poking fun at melodic black metal. They have alot of dark anthemic vocals and melody anyway, well sorta. It reminds me a bit of Absu’s vocal style with a comic twist of course. 
SARS the Attack
SARS… on the other hand is more of an industrial death grind sorta band. They are not melodic whatsoever. There is a rhythm but beyond that just pure anger.

Napalm Death – Smear Campaign
January 11th, 2007
» 4 out of 5 Evil Faces
Okay, maybe this review is out of date. Not sure when this was actually released but I just got ahold of a copy recently. Well like a month ago, but never reviewed it.
Plus I figure it is already the 11th day of the new year and I might as well get around to adding more content.
I have a few reviews and a couple of interviews scheduled for this month so be sure to check back over the next week for additional stuff.
Anyway, enough with the formalities and on with the topic at hand. Napalm Death needs no introduction but they have released a new CD entitled Smear Campaign that might.
Seasons Of Sorrow – The Awakening
December 26th, 2006
» 3 out of 5 Evil Faces
Again it has been awhile since my last review. Or for that matter since I have published anything around here.
Though do not fear, I am never far away! I have just been busy as usual with work, the holidays and all that good stuff. Plus I was sick a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry for my tardiness.
Anyway on with the topic at hand. As I am sure none of you really care about my work, how I prepare for Xmas, or my well being.
It’s time for another CD review. This time it is for a band that sent me their demo to check out. The band is Seasons Of Sorrow and the CD is titled The Awakening.
