Type O Negative
Dead Again
SPV
77:33 - 10 Tracks
Pete and the boys are back… Finally! This album is everything you’d expect from Type O Negative, and more! It is a throwback to some of the older stuff… kind of raw, heavy, yet melodic and angry and all that good stuff. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Operator
“Soulcrusher” EP
Atlantic
7:09 - 2 Tracks
Just a 2 song ep thing, it sounds like Soundgarden/Audioslave… more in the hard rock vein, which means, you may not hear it on the Mosh Pit.
Poison the Well
Versions
Ferret
42:04 - 12 Tracks
Grungy experimentally metal stuff here. I thought I remembered these guys being more metal. It’s a bit plodding and kind of slow. The bio sheet compares them to The Bled, Deftones, Isis. I’m not a big fan of these bands, so, well, this doesn’t do much for me either. You may hear it… if you want to hear it for sure, request it!
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
II
Ferret
40:38 - 11 Tracks
This came in the same package as the Poison the Well. Same label n stuff. This has a bit more of a stoner metal feel to it. A little like CoC with some Clutch.
In This Moment
Prayers EP
Century Media
11:44 - 3 Tracks
At first, I saw female singer, Century Media records… another prog-black-power metal with the chick singer… and it’s not! It’s more like some of the heavy melodic death music, but with mixed in with some metal-core but with more of an Otep feel… the singer does clean sing, but also will throw out some awesome growls. You will probably hear this on the Mosh Pit!
Clutch
From Beale Street To Oblivion
DRT
48:30 - 12 Tracks
It’s Clutch! The great thing about Clutch, is you know what to expect. This is classic Clutch. Catchy, hard rockin’, thick meaty riffin’ music. They still have the keyboard guy in the band, filling the sound out with some classic Hammond organ. They aren’t doing anything new really, but it’s great to have a new batch of Clutch songs to rock out to… You’ll hear this on the ‘Pit!
Naglfar
Harvest
Century Media
45:27 - 9 Tracks
It’s great to have some classic dark black-death metal. I’ve always liked the stuff Naglfar puts out, it’s got some cool melodic hooks, yet dark and heavy. Some of the vox are a little like Cradle of Filth, but not so cheesey. It’s good stuff, you’ll hear it on the Mosh Pit!
Temple of Brutality
Lethal Agenda
Demolition
33:50 - 10 Tracks
Starts off sounding a bit like Exodus with some lower budget production. The vocals aren’t much like Exodus. So, yeah, comparing this to Exodus throws it into the general thrashy metal realm. It’s not too bad, not awesome. You might hear it on the Mosh Pit.
Middian
Age Eternal
Metal Blade
57:11 - 5 Tracks
Well, this band came from the ashes of the band YOB, who, are well, about the same as Neurosis. If you know Mike and I, we dislike Neurosis, as it’s just not our thing. Music going on and on, with no real payoff. “Experimental” is what they like to call it. Well, you probably won’t hear this on the ‘Pit.
Life In Your Way
Waking Giants
SolidState
41:21 - 11 Tracks
This musically started off like some happy emo boy band guitar riff, but gets into some heavy metalcore screamin’ stuff. But then it moves around to some generic metalcore with emo-melodic clean vocals here and there. Some of the music and riffs are catchy. Since we haven’t had any metalcore in a while, or anything from SolidState, you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit.
Funny Money
Stick It
Corksniffer
50:34 - 12 Tracks
This band features a few guys from Kix. It’s good old time hard rockin’ stuff. Funny lyrics, you know all that funny 80’s hard rock stuff. You may hear this on the Mosh Pit, you know, for something different.
