The name Animal is apt.  Two records ago, on 2003's Shut It Down, Animosity developed vertebrae, of thrash, death metal, and hardcore punk.  On 2005's Empires, they found their feet in technical death metal.  Now, this San Francisco band is a fully-formed beast – muscular, sinewy, organic. The latter aspect is key.  All too often, [...]

What Gojira was last year, Hacride is this year – a French metallic missile that should detonate devastatingly across the Atlantic. Put away those freedom fries and call FEMA. On second thought, don't – they've got their own French Quarter to deal with. It's been no quarter from the French this past year, with Merrimack, [...]

Allow me to state my taxonomic understanding of the no-woman's land between metal and hardcore. When a hardcore band exhibits metallic tendencies, they're, natch, "metallic hardcore."
