Here are some mini reviews of stuff that is new this week…
Body Count
Murder 4 Hire
Escapi
44:52 - 12 Tracks
Good ol Body Count is Back! Pretty raw production, angry lyrics. I’m sure everyone knows Body Count. It’s decent, and it’s nice to have these guys back. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit
Voivod
Katorz
The End
45:09 - 10 Tracks
The long awaited last CD from Piggy. Voivod finished the songs that Piggy laid down the guitar tracks down for. It’s a good solid effort too! I think it’s great that they went on and finished out the album. I’m sure Denis (Piggy) would have wanted it that way. It’s got some great catchy riffs, the production is a bit raw, which is also kind of cool too. This is a no brainer, you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Stone Sour
Come What(ever) May
Roadrunner Records
49:00 - 12 Tracks
While we’ve stayed away from this band in the past, as well, all the songs were very “rock”, and not too metal. While on vacation, I got a chance to check out this CD in the car for a couple spins and it grew on me. Yes, there are “rock” moments on it, but they also have a few tracks which are just plain heavy. Of course these will be Mosh Pit material. So, yeah, some great catchy metal songs, with some not so heavy stuff for the other stations in town too. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit.
Gorgoroth
Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam
Candlelight
31:39 - 8 Tracks
It’s nice to have a new release from these guys. They are the good ol classic satanic black metal band. Not to mention, their frontman, Gaahl is a caricature of himself and all that is black metal. The playing, vocals, well, everything on this release is pretty good. So yeah, tune into the Mosh Pit to hear it!
Sahg
Sahg I
Candlelight
48:26 - 10 Tracks
A bit of a hard rock release. It’s kind of a clean vocal, hard rock, almost “helmetey” in spots, but if I had to compare them to anyone, it’d be Trouble. It’s heavy and has some great meaty riffs, good production too. So, you might hear this on the Mosh Pit. If you don’t and you want to, just email or call in!
Chrome Division
Doomsday Rock n Roll
Nuclear Blast
46:03 - 12 Tracks
Imagine if Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir had a day job… yeah, it’d be as a guitar player in a southern hard rock / motorhead sounding band called Chrome Division. Oh, wait, it’s not an imagination… it’s true! It’s been a project that was on the back burner for many years, and now there’s an album!
