When supposed black metal purists lament the commercialization of their beloved music, they could be talking about BORKNAGAR. Despite roots in the Norwegian black metal scene, Borknagar&#039;s newest album, Universal, features clean singing, folk-inspired arrangements and extended acoustic segments. This is black metal for kids that don&#039;t like MAYHEM but appreciate the progressive ...]]></description>

Just like the most famous serpent in the Old Testament, Snakes for the Divine will lead you into temptation.

ROB ZOMBIE is one of the most creative frontmen in contemporary metal.

His latest album is a sequel to ...]]></description>

If Scenes from Hell is any indication, Beelzebub&#039;s lair is not pretty. Choked-sounding saxophones squeal for help, announcing the arrival of a freight train circus packed with cinematic string arrangements, 3/4 sea shanty progressions narrated by downtuned power chords and and enough sound clips to rival early WHITE ZOMBIE. Contagious riffs fight off ...]]></description>

Until the Light Takes Us, a new documentary chronicling black metal-related crimes in Norway in the early &#039;90s, tells a fascinating story. It&#039;s a story that deserves to be told better, and it has been, most notably in authors Michael Moynihan and Didrik Søderlind&#039;s must-read Lords of Chaos. Unlike The Story of Anvil ...]]></description>

Why bother reviewing a new album by SLAYER? You&#039;ll enjoy it if you liked the last few, and you&#039;ll steer clear if you&#039;re not a fan already, thereby voiding any effect a number rating could give it. But for those of us who hold Slayer in the highest of high standards&#8211;the band that ...]]></description>

It may not be fair to compare DOOMRIDERS to guitarist/vocalist NATE NEWTON&#039;s better known day job, but Darkness Come Alive delivers on everything a side project should be. Almost none of the songs sound fit for the breakneck pace of CONVERGE&#039;s albums, but they&#039;re all strong enough to justify a separate band and ...]]></description>

The term &#034;epic&#034; has been  bandied about with such regularity in recent years that it hardly has  one drop of meaning left. Thanks, Internet. There was really no other  way to caption that video of your dad&#039;s water-skiing accident on YouTube?  &#034;Fucking hilarious&#034; would have done the trick. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Ben Apatoff Even without the high profile of a deservedly popular animated documentary series, it&#039;s easy to see why DETHKLOK have the highest-charting death metal album in U.S. history. Their progressions are as melodic as mid-&#039;80s OZZY, with even funnier lyrics. Nearly every chorus is a shout-along, and no matter how much PICKLES inflicts ...]]></description>

Dictionary.com defines the  word “deflorate” as “past the flowering state; having shed its  pollen.” That seems wickedly apropos for the Black Dahlia Murder,  who have indeed just past their flowering state as the “it” band  of death metal. Their last album, 2007’s Nocturnal, was praised  to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No band has done more for American metal under the Bush years than LAMB OF GOD. For eight years, Virginia&#039;s finest upped the ante for modern metal, expressing the rage of a nation over perpetual touring, four outstanding studio albums and previously unthinkable chart success for relatively extreme metal. Now Wrath, the Lamb&#039;s latest offering, ...]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>Five albums and three singers into their career, Darkane are still slipping melodies into their thrash-infested death metal. Demonic Art doesn&#039;t try anything new, but it captures Darkane filling their Swedish death metal niche as soundly as anyone could hope.

Demonic Art finds a good medium between proficiency and tunefulness, and almost all of the songs are worth a few headbangs. The hardcore structure of &quot;Leaving Existence&quot; shows the band moving in on Disfear&#039;s turf,  and the awesome &quot;Execution 44&quot; reimagines Ministry as a death metal powerhouse. New screamer Jens Borman is an effectively decipherable vocalist, eluding any &quot;Van Hagar&quot; comparisons by smoothly maintaining the band&#039;s best attributes. Still, the MVPs are guitarists Christofer Malmström and Klas Ideberg, whose consistently exciting hooks and solos carry much of the record, particularly the first half. Whether evoking alarm sirens on &quot;Demigod&quot; or At the Gates on the title track, the musicianship is nothing short of flawless.

Darkane don&#039;t surpass the heights that they reached on Layer of Lies, but Demonic Art confirms their talents. This is an ideal album for an opening act--unlikely to steal the show from a band of Meshuggah or In Flames&#039; stature, but ripping enough mosh-worthy riffs and scream-back choruses to make a very enjoyable listen.

		<itunes:summary>A few summers ago, the Giraffes&#039; self-titled breakthrough established them as one of the best new hard  rock bands since Queens of the Stone Age debuted. This year&#039;s Prime  Motivator is The Giraffes x 1.5--longer, stronger, wronger and song-er  than their ear-catching previous LP.Roaring out of the gate instantly  with the dizzying title track, the disoriented-sounding band somehow  organize themselves ten seconds in and unleash a pile-driving riff-fest  that&#039;s over before you wonder why your eardrums exploded. But the album  really takes off on the second track, “Done,” with an entrancing,  Zeppelin-esque lick that stays in your brain for hours. When singer  Aaron Lazar boasts, &quot;That&#039;s how we do it, and we do it so good!”  in the final rejoinder, he may be delivering the year’s most understated  chorus in a rock song. Elsewhere, the dance-punk &quot;Discowarts&quot; could win over a hipster crowd, and “(This is) Sickness”  gets raised in octaves and ferociousness from its previous EP version,  packing a two-and-half-minute punch without as much as a hint of the  irony that befalls most modern hard rock acts. Like President  Bush, these guys are shameless.Riff architect Damian Paris has  a knack for turning circus music and waltzing progressions into arena-worthy  rock hooks, spilling out of his time signatures while drummer Andrew  Totolos threatens to trounce him with increasingly complicated fills.  Their foil is in Lazar, the composed eye of the hurricane amidst choatic  numbers like “Smoke Machine.” Even when raising his voice, Lazar  is more Vincent Price than Vincent Furnier, an articulate, commanding  lounge-metal presence with vocal chops to boot. The less frenetic tracks,  including the climactic “Clever Boy” and especially the nighthawk  adventure “Louis Guthrie Wants to Kill Me,” seamlessly change the  album&#039;s mood by staying imposing enough to not sound out of place. When  it all ends with the primal, skull-crushing wordless jam “E.S.F.,”  arguably Prime Motivator’s highlight, one imagines that these  guys would be as adept at scoring a noir or a spaghetti western as they  would be roughing up a roomful of Niedermeyers.Prime Motivator has so  many plot twists that you might want to paint the city red and have  a beer alone at 4AM, often during the same song. It&#039;s possible that  Prime Motivator will drive you nuts, but then again some people  never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live.Buy it/burn it/chuck it scale: Buy</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:subtitle>15 years after their last studio release, a famously elusive metal metal band with an enormously influential debut has followed up. That&#039;s right, boys and girls, it&#039;s the rabidly anticipated comeback album from...Cynic. - On 1993&#039;s Focus,</itunes:subtitle>
		<itunes:summary>15 years after their last studio release, a famously elusive metal metal band with an enormously influential debut has followed up. That&#039;s right, boys and girls, it&#039;s the rabidly anticipated comeback album from...Cynic.

On 1993&#039;s Focus, some Florida-based musicians (including guitarist Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinart, both formerly of Death) demolished four or five musical boundaries to pioneer a metal/jazz/progressive/electronic sound that the rest of the world is still catching up to. After splitting up to form Gordian Knot, Æon Spoke and various other projects, Cynic are now one of the only bands in history to release a reunion album that captures the band at the top of its game. 

Still astonishingly succinct for a band with such progressive tendencies, Cynic pack a wealth of genre twists and compositional stunts into a 34-minute album. Reinart&#039;s busy, multilayered percussion nearly steals the show from Masvidal, whose fluid, shapeshifting leads (thankfully) put the songs before masturbatory guitar wankery.  Luring in your senses with the fade-in intro of &quot;Nunc Fluens,&quot; Traced in Air will keep you guessing its direction until you realize (hopefully by about 1:30 of &quot;The Space for This&quot;) that there is none, and Cynic don&#039;t need one. Whether effortlessly sneaking in a few slow-jam measures next to the blast beats of &quot;Adam&#039;s Murmur&quot; or casually throwing a sparse, &quot;Nothing Else Matters&quot;-esque bridge into the anvil-heavy &quot;Integral Birth,&quot; there doesn&#039;t seem to be anything that this band can&#039;t do. Not for show, mind you--none of it sounds bogged down by experimentation.

Traced in Air is a natural progression from Focus, more melodic and boasting a much cleaner production than its predecessor. Not that Cynic have lost their teeth--&quot;Integral Birth&quot; threatens to obliterate your speakers with its Sepultura-esque drumming and cavalcade of fretboard magic, while the overwhelming &quot;Evolutionary Sleeper&quot; packs a punch worthy of the Dillinger Escape Plan. It&#039;s not your typical death metal album, or your typical anything metal album, but anyone used to death growls and down-tuned guitars should enjoy this as much as the theory enthusiast who will spend days absorbed entirely in the 6-minute apex &quot;King of those Who Know,&quot; the ultra-melodic &quot;The Unknown Guest&quot; or really any other track on this top-notch release.

For the uninitiated, Focus should probably still be your starting point for all things Cynic. But Traced in Air is a more than worthy follow-up that builds on Cynic&#039;s legacy as much your favorite records from Veil of Maya, Between the Buried and Me and Candiria. Welcome back, dudes--now how about a tour before 2023?
