Bloodjinn
This Machine Runs On Empty
Pluto
46:37 - 10 Tracks
These guys are kind of thrashy, melodic, and heavy. I’d say it’s right up there in the trashy metalcore stuff, but really, without all of the annoying stuff that makes metalcore metalcore. The bio sheet tells me that it’s RIYL: “Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, A Life Once Lost.” I can hear the KsE stuff, but without the whiney chorus stuff, the chugga chugga metal of Lamb of God and just all out metal. This is good stuff, you will hear it on the Mosh Pit!

Big Business
Here Come The Waterworks
Hydra Head
40:45 - 8 Tracks
Kind of a big hard rock sound musically a bit like Clutch. Some of it also reminds me of Life of Agony. The Sound is good, clear and clean, cool riffs and a nice big boomy drum sound. It’s good grungy stoner metal, compared to Melvins, High on Fire and Sabbath on the bio sheet. You may hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Jesu
Conquerer
Hyra Head
57:56 - 8 Tracks
Right off the bad, the bio compares them to Isis. Now when I see that, I think, blech. But, as an objective radio type person, I feel obligated to listen to everything I get and listen with an open mind. So, yeah, I put this in and, after I woke up, yawwwwnnn. Just some really distorted guitar graggin’ along with some poppy/rock vocals over it. This is definately not material for the Mosh Pit.

Unsane
Visqueen
Ipecac
42:07 - 11 Tracks
I’m familiar with this band name, and some of their music in the past, and the only thing that I remember is that I didn’t really care for them too much, but as I said before, I have to be impartial when first listening… This is alright. Just pretty much straight ahead hard rockin’ stuff. Kind of grungy, plodding, stoner-metaley, yet still in your face. Some tracks have some pretty cool grooves and stuff. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Black Sabbath
“The Devil Cried”
Rhino
20:44 - 4 Tracks
This is a single/sampler from the Dio Years box set type thing, and well, the reunion that is called Heaven and Hell. This song though is about what you’d expect from Dio/Sabbath. Good stuff. You’ll hear this on the Pit!

Dominici
A Trilogy Part 2
InsideOut
54:30 - 9 Tracks
The original singer from Dream Theater comes back with his latest solo effort. It sounds pretty good. It’s still prog-metal though. He has that kind of higher screamy voice. The music is crisp and clean, not too crazy complex. The music is very similar to Dream Theater, so you pretty much know what you’re gettting here. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit.

There’s more stuff that’s supposed to be here this week, but it’s not!

69 Eyes, Mendeed, Sirenia, Manowar, Infernaeon…  So, maybe we’ll have that for next week or yet this week !!
