We all know James likes to lie, but this time he wasn’t.

Carnifex
Hell Chose me
February 16, 2010/Victory

A couple days ago BEP.com’s very own @bazmazh posted a track from this recently released Victory disc. I’ve heard of Carnifex, but never really gave them a listen. Glad I did so. This cd is much along the vein of current metal releases-that being metal as metal gets. The [...]

Blast From The Past III

Taproot
Gift
2000/Atlantic

Oh my absent god this band use to fucking rock. Back in the time period of the turn of the millennium, nu-metal was at an all-time high, airwaves and Mtv’s TRL being mostly dominated by the likes of Korn and Limp Bizkit, if you dug a little deeper you’d have found Slipknot and [...]

The Album Leaf: A Chorus of Storytellers

The Album Leaf
A Chorus of Storytellers
February 2, 2010

Yay! A new Album Leaf cd. Every time Jimmy LaValle decides to release another one of his post-rock ambience overloaded albums, I rejoice a little bit. Back in the day, way back in the day actually, Brandon, in his never-ending cd buying quest, stumbled across a [...]

Slipknot-Snuff

Sometime last year the metal freakazoids that make up the band Slipknot released a disc entitled All Hope Is Gone which was much better than their previous Subliminal Verses Vol III. Don’t get me wrong, Slpknot is not the band that they once were, but this cd had an undeniably bombastic [...]

The Lost Symbol
by Dan Brown
September 15, 2009
528 pages/Doubleday Books

Way back in 2003 Dan Brown’s thriller The Da Vinci Code captivated readers and held them on the edge of their seats until the very end. His controversial work dealt with God, The Bible, The Virgin Mary, and many other similar touchy subjects, he lead [...]

The Informant!

“When polar bears hunt, they crouch down by a hole in the ice and wait for a seal to pop up. They keep one paw over their nose so that they blend in. Cuz’ they’ve got those black noses. They’d blend in perfectly if not for the nose..So the question is. How do [...]

Long and Overdue:ABR & KSE

Killswitch Engage
Killswitch Engage
June 23, 2009/Roadrunner Records

Killswitch Engage is arguably the fathers of modern day metal, ever since their 2002 debut ‘Alive or Just Breathing’, KSE has owned the metal scene with their accessible, and simple but brutal rock. Throughout the years and their four releases, the band went through a major lineup change [...]

The Fool’s been listening to new music!

Darkest Hour
The Eternal Return
Victory/June 23, 2009

Every other year we here in Bearland are graced with a new Darkest Hour release to beat our metal ear drums. An elite click of four friends from back in the Snellville days became a DH bandwhore, we love(d) the group, love(d) their show, and for the most [...]

The Devil Wears Prada: Great Movie! Right?

The Devil Wears Prada
With Roots Above and Branches Below
May 5, 2009 Ferret

I know nothing about the movie starring Ann Hathaway and the ever so awesome Meryl Streep, and I know very little more about the like titled band from the Buckeye state. I do know that they’re Christian, hence the name, they have [...]

Closure In Moscow: One step forward, two steps back.

Closure in Moscow
First Temple
Equal Vision, May 5

A couple months back Brandon let me in on a band from down under named Closure in Moscow. These guys released an EP back in mid 08 entitled The Penance and the Patience. This six song disc was wildly solid and contained a slew of catchy and [...]
