…etal songs with hard rock inflections, the Stefan Kaufmann (ex-Accept, ex-U.D.O.) production keeps the digital/mechanical precision of the quintet on point. The unison chorus aspect and refined guitar lines, keyboard embellishment, plus 4/4-oriented rhythm section makes me think of Europe, Pretty Maids, and a bit of Accept/Judas Priest when taking in winners like the mini-gallop driven “S.O.S.” or nastier “Death on Holy Ground”. The digipack versi…

Then of course came the headliners in Kamelot, arriving nicely on stage right around 9PM (again, quite solid for a weeknight). Supporting their recently released The Shadow Theory, of which they played three tracks, there was a clear emphasis given to the last three albums, which makes sense given that was when current vocalist Tommy Karevik’s time began.

The follow up to both Pioneers of L.A. Hard Rock and Metal and The L.A. Metal Scene Explodes takes a look at how L.A. was in fact the true birth place of thrash (not the Bay Area in San Francisco) for 3 of the “Big 4,” as well as paving the way for crossover and pu…

When technicality and musicality are in conflict we must understand that musicality comes first be…

Halls of the Damned blends melody and aggression in a way that is thoroughly death metal approved.
