		<description><![CDATA[Testament&#039;s The Formation of Damnation has been hotly anticipated for two reasons.  First, it marks the return of lead guitarist Alex Skolnick.  This resets the lineup to its original members but for drummer Paul Bostaph.  Second, it&#039;s taken quite a while.  Since 1999&#039;s The Gathering, the band members have been busy elsewhere.  Rhythm guitarist Eric [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every up-and-coming metal band should watch Born in the Basement.  The DVD, by original Overkill drummer Lee Kundrat (aka Rat Skates), is a metal version of your grandpa&#039;s &#034;when I was your age, I had to walk five miles to school&#034; story.  When you&#039;re young, the story seems like elder posturing.  Eventually, though, you learn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m conflicted about retro thrash.  As trends go, there&#039;s far worse, like metalcore, deathcore, and symphonic Hot Topic-core with token sex object keyboardists.  It gives exposure to old-school thrash, which is never a bad thing.  And unlike other metal trends, at least retro thrash is upfront about the fact that it does absolutely nothing new.
But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Aeon&#039;s Rise to Dominate (reviewed here) did just that as one of last year&#039;s best death metal records.  Perhaps that&#039;s not saying much; 2007 wasn&#039;t exactly a banner year for the genre.  But cut through the hordes of MySpace pretenders, and you&#039;ll find quality like Aeon &#8211; real songs, real vision, real death metal.  Anyone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Arcane Order make a pretty good Strapping Young Lad.  The resemblance is startling &#8211; barreling, precise, melodic death metal with apocalyptic keyboards and outlandishly over-compressed production/mastering that makes snares sound like gunshots.  Kasper Thomsen&#039;s vocals even sound like a young Devin Townsend.  There are slight differences &#8211; more solos, lusher keyboards, and screams that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s been a year since Vader&#039;s Impressions in Blood came out, and the album is holding up well.  And Blood Was Shed in Warsaw documents the February 12, 2007 show in Warsaw&#039;s Stodola Club promoting the record.  Unsurprisingly, the setlist contains four songs from Impressions, showcasing Vader&#039;s move in recent years towards greater melody.  However, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the January 2008 issue of Decibel, Skeletonwitch described their sound as &#034;Immortal beating the shit out of Metallica at a keg party.&#034;  This is an interesting image.  On one hand, Immortal are only three guys (four if you count the guitarist crippled by tendinitis).  On the other hand, Metallica have Lars Ulrich and Kirk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plug Me In is a record of AC/DC&#039;s live history, with footage from shows around the world and TV appearances.  However, it&#039;s also a record of AC/DC themselves.  This two-DVD set is conclusive evidence that the band&#039;s raw, stripped-down rock has better suited the stage than wax.  With five hours of content, Plug Me In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So much black metal wants to be taken seriously; Deathspell Omega actually deserves such scrutiny.  At first, this secretive French outfit seems pretentious.  Long Latin titles swathe its albums; portentous choirs pervade its songs.  But these add up to more than T-shirt pentagrams.  Deathspell Omega&#039;s music and metaphysics are complex and well thought-out.  Comprehending them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High on Fire&#039;s Matt Pike is one of metal&#039;s most idiosyncratic guitarists.  Much of his style probably comes from necessity.  As the singer and only guitarist in a trio, he must both fill space and preserve it.  Thus, Pike mostly avoids single-note picking in favor of strumming power chords.  His use of palm-muting is light, so his [...]]]></description>

Between the Buried and Me, The Fall of Troy, and Circa Survive all paint with technicolor brushes on perpetually stylish hoodies.

		<description><![CDATA[Ou·tré [oo-trey] –adjective: passing the bounds of what is usual or considered proper; unconventional; bizarre.
For being supposedly extreme, death metal has become quite safe.  What began as boundary-pushing is now a set of convenient boxes: technical, ultra-brutal, melodic, old-school Swedish.  The genre&#039;s pioneers, fingers bloodied from thrashing thrash&#039;s denim-jacketed corpse, would shudder at such conformity.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[12 years into its career, Darkest Hour continues to improve.  Over its past three albums, this DC band has progressed from being just another Gothenburg melodeath clone to something more substantial.  Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation put the band on the map for speed and intensity; Undoing Ruin added Devin Townsend production and better [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No one does metal festivals like the Europeans, and no one does live videos like the Polish.  Put the two together, and the result is goat-throwing couch potato bliss.  Metalmania is Eastern Europe&#039;s largest metal festival; in 2006, it took place in Katowice, Poland.
The familiar Metal Mind live video trademarks are present: quick editing and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The contents are exactly as advertised: Metal God Essentials Vol. 1.  This release collects the highlights of Rob Halford&#039;s solo career to date in a sumptuously remastered package.  For the uninitiated, it&#039;s the perfect introduction to Halford outside Judas Priest; for the faithful, it should suffice quite nicely until Nostradamus.
When Halford and Priest split, they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s face it &#8211; books on metal aren&#039;t challenging.  They may be well-researched and well-written, with rare photos and anecdotes.  But in the end, they usually coddle the subject matter.  No one writes on metal but metalheads and the clueless; thus, metalheads stay in fan mode when they wax book-length.  Why spoil the party when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dreary as hell, but in a good way &#8211; Sweden&#039;s Mortuus drags the listener on a gentle descent into the abyss.  After an initial self-titled 7&#034;, this duo returns with a fully-formed full-length.  Church bells sound all over the place, giving the album a ritualistic, religious atmosphere, perfect for a release on The AJNA Offensive.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps Minus the Herd refers to the hordes of bands mining chaotic metalcore now.  Bands everywhere are mixing death metal, grindcore, math metal, and drippy logos like it ain&#039;t a thang.  The proliferation of this abrasive angularity is so pervasive that what was once brutal is now just another MySpace profile.
Thus, the album title is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So there&#039;s been bellyaching about the production on the new Watain album.  Yes, it&#039;s cleaner than on previous full-lengths Rabid Death&#039;s Curse and Casus Luciferi.  Yes, the songs aren&#039;t just blurs of blastbeats.  They&#039;re dangerously close to (gasp!) heavy metal, with, like, actual riffs &#8211; fist-pumping ones!  Forsooth the thought!
The truth is, Watain was meant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an album cover!  An electric eye sizes up a scantily clad woman, whose hair looks freshly shampooed, and who casts two faint neon shadows if you look closely enough.  Floating in the electric eye are math equations, while the album title is written in Greek letters.  Awesomely over-the-top, and so prog metal.

		<description><![CDATA[Except for perhaps Brazil&#039;s Violator, California&#039;s Merciless Death is the cream of today&#039;s &#034;retro thrash&#034; crop.  It&#039;s hardly infernal overkill to say that Evil in the Night is a perfect reproduction of &#039;80s thrash.  That it&#039;s a dead ringer for an old thrash classic is a testament to its accuracy.  Think this: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deadlock is a combination of what are probably now the most nauseating ingredients in metal &#8211; nth generation melodic Swedish death metal, screamed verses, and sung vocal choruses, with symphonic black metal keyboards to add insult to injury.  It is difficult to describe the unbridled hatred and urge to commit mass murder that arises in me [...]]]></description>
