Bullet for My Valentine
Bullet for My Valentine hails from the same stomping grounds in South Wales as peers Funeral for a Friend, thus sparking comparisons between the Welsh acts that go further than a fondness for dark, morose band names. It's hard to deny a certain likeness to their Funeral friends throughout The Poison -- check out the dynamics of "Suffocating Under ...

by
Corrosion Of Conformity
With guitarist Pepper Keenan now at the helm as lead singer and principal songwriter, COC abandoned most of the punk influences of their crossover past and turned into a full-fledged Sabbath-inspired metal band with 1994's Deliverance. Most of the songs on the album are built on monolithic power chords which range from ferocious speed on "Heaven's ...

Corrosion of Conformity
After making headway into the '90s alternative metal scene with a grungy, slowed-down version of their trademark punk-metal, COC (now the band's official name, instead of just a widely accepted nickname) moved into the new millennium looking to keep up their momentum. Since their last album, 1996's Wiseblood, the rap-metal subgenre had taken over ...

Suicidal Tendencies
On the group's earliest albums, vocalist Mike Muir specialized in intense, angst-ridden rants, harrowing but one-dimensional. He has since developed into a rock-solid vocalist, his voice a powerful and fluid instrument. Muir still delivers emotionally ferocious spoken-word segments on "Nobody Hears" and "I Wasn't Meant to Hear This," but the ...

The Best of Atreyu

by
Atreyu
Atreyu's acerbic approach to metalcore -- merging Alex Varkatzas' caustic gutturals and Brandon Saller's melodic underpinnings with thrashing hardcore and continuous double-bass shots to the gut -- rocketed the guys straight to the top of the underground scene. The genre may have quickly become saturated, but Atreyu managed to remain a head above ...

by
Suicidal Tendencies
Fast, furious, and funny, Suicidal Tendencies' self-titled debut owed much more to hardcore punk than to the later hardcore/heavy metal hybrid they would become known for, but it's still quite possibly their best album. Mike Muir proves himself an articulate lyricist and commentator, delving into subjects like alienation, depression, and ...

M.O.D.
The first offering from S.O.D. (Stormtroopers of Death) vocalist Billy Milano's M.O.D. (Methods of Destruction), U.S.A for M.O.D. follows the S.O.D. formula with precision. The music on this debut is similar to the N.Y. hardcore-influenced metal made famous by Anthrax (with whom M.O.D. had close ties). Milano doesn't seem to be taking things very ...

by
Atreyu
Atreyu's Lead Sails Paper Anchor is a decent album. The problem? It would be a much more consistent and stronger one if producer John Feldmann had settled on one sound -- slick or raw -- because it can't be both. (For the record, the rougher moments on the album do give Atreyu more vitality.) It isn't even a case of different songs having ...

Raised Fist
Much like the alternative rock landscape in 2002, the metal world has also had its fair share of Scandinavian bands arrive in the U.S. with authentic, vital contributions to the genre. One such band is Raised Fist, a gleefully vicious outfit that mixes the brutal production and speed-oriented brutality of death metal with the songwriting structure ...

Suicidal Tendencies
Suicidal Tendencies regrouped successfully for one of its best efforts, How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today. The band's thrashy fusion of its hardcore roots with speed metal was fully developed by this point, and Mike Muir's social commentary and self-analysis were as ragingly compelling and by turns amusing as ever. Highlights ...

Still Remains
Boy, the term ‘melodic metal' certainly has changed over the years. Back in the 1980's, the style was best suited for glam hams that were all about pontificating about (in the immortal words of the Cruiser from ‘Stripes') ‘fast cars and fast women.' Come the 21st century, some may consider a group like Still Remains a melodic metal band, but that ...

Apart from the fact that the members of Protest the Hero were in their late teens when they wrote it, Kezia (pronounced keh-zai-yah) is an impressive album that greatly exceeds typical expectations. Protest frantically meld metal, punk, hardcore -- and a touch of emo -- into ten frenetic songs that often resemble a late-night metal show with ...

Aside from the fact that it recycles all five songs from the band's 2006 EP, The Armored March, there's little cause for complaint over Oh, Sleeper's solid full-length debut, When I Am God, which actually brings a little bit of hope to the much discredited post-hardcore scene. Like obvious influences such as Norma Jean and As Cities Burn, this ...

Note one of Superjoint Ritual's A Lethal Dose of American Hatred greets your ears like a steel-tipped boot does a mud puddle.

Is it hardcore or is it death metal? No, this isn't some warped play on the famous Memorex ad slogan, but rather a very valid question after listening to Emmure's debut album, 2007's Goodbye to the Gallows. Like many modern-day metal bands, Emmure vocalist Frank Palmeri can shapeshift his voice to resemble a death metal growler, a hardcore barker, ...

Although the opening title track is a celebration of life in the mosh pit, D.R.I.'s fifth album is pretty much straightforward metal with little of the band's hardcore punk roots in its unapologetically slick sound. That said, Thrash Zone is an immense improvement over its immediate predecessor, the weak and unfocused Four of a Kind. Kurt Brecht's ...
