Not a lot of new stuff this week, and due to the Presidents Day Holiday, some mail delivery is delayed. Also, with the Throwdown / Still Remains / Dozen Furies / Red Chord show at the Loft on Monday, along with a couple of those bands coming into the studio and Pledge Drive…. there won’t be long reviews!

Dryline
Reach For The Surface
Zero Sum
This is pretty much a heavy metalcore release… good production, more on the metal side than metalcore.

Wicked Wisdom
Wicked Wisdom
Suburban Noize
This is Jada Pinkett’s band… finally got the full album, and it’s not too bad. She’s got a great band and it sounds catchy… as many have said before, she is probably the weak spot, as her vocals are just all over the place. But overall, it’s a decent album!

Sinamore
A New Day
Napalm Records
47:47 - 10 Tracks
Clean vocals, melodic guitars, not real heavy, the music is a little like Amophis, but a bit more simple. I guess it has a bit of a Moonspell vibe, but again, not as heavy or aggressive. It’s okay, but nothing we’re jumping over ourselves to play.

One Dead Three Wounded
Paint The Town
1 x 1 Music
36:42 - 12 Tracks
Yet another aggressive, in-your-face metalcore release. I can’t say there’s much in the way of groundbreaking here. It’s heavy, aggressive, some catchy stuff. They don’t seem to get into any of the sing-a-long whiney choruses… so it’s got that going for it. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit… and of course… call or email if you like it!

The new Nebula CD was also a new release slated for this week, but it’s not here yet.
