For Today - Prevailer E.P. (2013)

Good afternoon everyone. In my live review on Wednesday I promised to return with a review of the latest Jungle Rot album. However, due to another blog author in my area presumably seeing that statement and purposely writing a review before me (albeit a rather terrible one giving the band waaayyyyy too much credit, when let's be honest it's just Jungle Rot, they're not world changing.), I have chosen to review something else as I'd rather not look like some kind of dick. So here we have a brief review of Christian metalcore group For Today's latest E.P., Prevailer. Enjoy.

1. From Zion
2. Crown Of Thorns
3. Flesh & Blood
4. Open Heaven
5. Fearless (Acoustic)

Deicide - Norwich Waterfront - 18th March 2013

And so today I have a new article for you lovely people, a live review of Deicide's triumphant gig at Norwich's Waterfront last week, and an album review of "Terror Regime", the latest from Midwest death metal mainstays Jungle Rot to come tomorrow. Comment, request a review, any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Enjoy...

Suffocation - Pinnacle Of Bedlam (2013)

I know what most of you are thinking, this album's already been out a month, why am I just reviewing it now? The truth is, I've had a hard time A. finding the time to properly sit down and write this review, and B. I wanted to make sure I did it justice. It may be late, but I couldn't resist voicing my opinions on this highly anticipated album from one of death metal's biggest bands. And just to appeal to other big Suffocation fans like myself I will be describing the album using some of the band's own lingo (this should be interesting...).

Enjoy...

3. Eminent Wrath
4. As Grace Descends
5. Sullen Days
6. Pinnacle Of Bedlam

Exit Ten - Norwich Waterfront - 21st February 2013

Cannabis Corpse + Ghoul - London Underworld - 9th February 2013

Hello again everyone, and welcome to my first live review of 2013. Despite this not being my first gig of the year I decided that this would be my first gig to review, due to me only knowing half the setlist for Korpiklaani, and the fact that I was too fucked at Orange Goblin to even begin to remember the song order. This was definitely the best gig of the year so far though. So let's get to business...

Black Veil Brides - Wretched & Divine: The Story Of The Wild Ones (2013)

So after a week and a bit of gigging and procrastinating, I've got a new review for y'all. I know what most of you are thinking, (Black Veil Brides are shit!!!, Andy Biersack can suck a dick etc.) but I felt the need to write this review to prove to you guys that I can write about stuff other than bands I enjoy. I've been feeling recently that I've not been very biased and want to keep my journalistic integrity intact. But at the same time I've not just chosen an album by a so called "controversial" band to slate. I want to be professional and review something out of my comfort zone without just trashing it and essentially saying "it's shite" but using lots of words to do so. And on that note, to business...
