Second to Sun – Legacy

Posted on November 8, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Second to Sun – Legacy

This is a bit of a mix-up today. I hadn’t originally planned to write about this album. In the list of 30 albums for the 30 days of November, this wasn’t on the list, simply because it hadn’t been released yet. But now it has been released, and I simply must write about it. Second…

Fates Warning – Disconnected

Posted on November 7, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Fates Warning – Disconnected

It’s almost difficult for me to talk about Fates Warning. On the one hand, it is because they are, in my opinion, the single most underrated band in the history of metal. On the other, it is because they are very possibly my favorite band of all time. Depends on the day, but it’s a…

Mammoth Storm – Alruna

Posted on November 6, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Mammoth Storm – Alruna

Heavy. What does it mean when discussing music? It is a nebulous term at best. For some, it is hyper-fast, aggressive, with harsh vocals. For others, it is down-tuned 8 string guitars with sick breakdowns. Yet others may think of slow, ponderous tunes. And you know what? They are all right. That’s part of what…

Cloudkicker – Beacons

Posted on November 4, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Cloudkicker – Beacons

At some point (I’d like to think I’m not alone here), I started to dive down the djent rabbit hole. I don’t remember what started that dive, but I stumbled across one of three key albums. Not sure which came first, but it was probably either One by TesseracT or Periphery by Periphery. Something about…

Guilt Machine – On This Perfect Day

Posted on November 2, 2019November 2, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Guilt Machine – On This Perfect Day

Arjen Lucassen is many things. But boring will never be one of them.  I first became familiar with Mr. Lucassen when the release of the Ayreon album The Human Equation was soon to be released. At the time, progressive music, both rock and metal, were my staples. I was a fan of Dream Theater (amongst others) and…

Norma Jean – All Hail

Posted on November 1, 2019November 1, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Norma Jean – All Hail

The truth is, I like most subgenres of metal. However, anything that ends in -core, well, it just doesn’t usually click for me. As with everything in life though, there are exceptions. Norma Jean is one of those exceptions. And All Hail slams an exclamation mark on that exception. I became familiar with the band…

Mechina – Realm Breaker

Posted on June 21, 2019June 21, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on Mechina – Realm Breaker

Every once in a while you experience something, and can just tell almost instinctively, that what you are experiencing is special. So it was for me when, in 2015, I somehow stumbled across the album Acheron by some band called Mechina. Acheron is the fourth entry in an albums spanning science fiction epic. I’m just…

What’s the deal with metal?

Posted on June 17, 2019 By Peter Jones No Comments on What’s the deal with metal?

If there is one reaction I get most often, when it comes to music, is the shock and surprise of others when they find out what I listen to. It isn’t just because I listen to metal. I mean, come on, loads of people listen to something they call metal. Certain aspects of metal are…
