Other Adds: Uncrowned, Drop Dead, Gorgeous

Agnostic Front
Warriors
Nuclear Blast
32:20 - 14 Tracks
As I recall, these guys have a very distinctive lead vocal sound, and that’s still there. The music seems a bit more thrashy than just straightout hardcore. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still hardcore, but it seems a lot more “metal” You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Astral Doors
New Revelation
Locomotive
47:34 - 11 Tracks
This is fairly run of the mill power metal, with hints of that “epic symphonic” metal sound. It’s pretty good though, production is crisp, songs are alright, just nothing new or groundbreaking, good meat and potatoes power metal. You should hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Exodus
The Atrocity Exhibition
Nuclear Blast
71:42 - 10 Tracks
There’s no f*cking around on this CD. All of the replacement members step up and make this an instant thrash classic. The vocals are a little abrasive, but you know, this is no Baloff or Souza, he’s all new (since the last album) and has his owns style, which fits well with the heavier thrashy sound of new Exodus. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Queensryche
Welcome to the Machine (Single)
Rhino
9:12 -2 Tracks
This is from their forthcoming “Take Cover” CD, which will be all covers. This is pretty much what you’d think it was, Queensryche doing this classic Pink Floyd song. They don’t thrash it up, they stay fairly true to the original. It came across pretty cool live a couple months ago when they opened for Heaven and Hell. If we have time, you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Demon Hunter
Storm The Gates of Hell
SolidState
51:08 – 12 Tracks
Starting off, this is a bit more raw. Still heavy as heck, I’d almost throw them into the brutal-core. Can Christian-metal be brutal? As you get into some tracks more, it gets more “emo vocal” Kind of typical metal-core, with brutal breakdowns, but clean singing chorus stuff here and there. The heavy stuff is way cool, but the emo stuff doesn’t do that much for me. You will hear this on the Mosh Pit though.

Drop Dead, Gorgeous
Worse Than A Fairy Tale
Suretone
48:58 – 12 Tracksa
This is mostly emo-post-hardcore stuff. It’s kind of heavy, yet chaotic with some whiney, screamy vocals. It’s kind of the borderline thing that the mosh pit may or may not play. The music is cool, but the vocals ruin it.

Uncrowned
Devils & Angels
Uncrowned
28:15 – 8 Tracks
This sounds a bit more like hard rock/new solid rock stuff. More for fans of other stations. As always, I can appreciate what they are doing, but it’s just not really the type of stuff for the Mosh Pit.If you request it, we’ll play it of course, it’s not crap!

Soilwork
Sworn To The Great Divide
Nuclear Blast
46:26 - 12 Tracks
I’m a big fan of Soilwork, my favorite album being Natural Born Chaos, but as the years have come along, they have gotten a bit more “accessible” I still like them a lot, but to me, NBC was their turning point. A few tracks were out there from this CD, one of them being “Exile” Well, hearing that, I didn’t have high hopes for this, as it just seemed to be kind of plain… well, I think the rest of the album is a LOT stronger than that one track. Maybe this is the track they want to get regular radio airplay from? Anyways, the new CD has a great sound, a good balance between clean vox and not-clean vox. The melodies and harmonies are cool, yet still stays pretty heavy. You’ll hear a lot of this on the Mosh Pit!

Coheed and Cambria
No World For Tomorrow
Columbia
59:59 - 13 Tracks
I can’t say I’ve been a huge fan of these guys, I just haven’t listened to them much, because sometimes I’m just a metal snob and only want stuff to be heavy! I have respect for what they’ve done. This new CD seems like it’s very well put together, it’s a bit technical, complex, yet still melodic and easy to listen to. I guess they are considered a Progressive Rock band, so you can definitely “get” that from their sound… but mix in a little pop-hard-rocky sound and you got it. I think this could be worthy of some play on the Mosh Pit!

Caliban
The Awakening
Century Media
45:15 - 12 Tracks
Heavy! Fast, brutal metal overall, then it does get into some metal-core-y sing-a-log choruses. Overall though, it’s just pretty good brutal-core. A fast heavy driving rhythm section with a phat low-end with some mega riffs gluing it together. Most of this is brutal-heavy, but there are some slower more melodic parts. This is something you will hear on the Mosh Pit

Of Hearts and Shadows
Touching Base with a Chainsaw
Tyburn
45:15 - 12 Tracks
This has a lot of metal-core elements, clean vox mixed with some growling stuff. There’s a lot of boomy bass as part of the production of this… some of the songs are pretty catchy and easy to get into. It’s not too bad, but there’s not really much new ground being broken here. There could have been a better job engineering this to clean the sound up a bit. You’ll probably hear this on the Mosh Pit though.

Wolfpack Unleashed
Anthems of Resistance
Napalm
46:49 - 10 Tracks (promo split up into 80 tracks… with voiceovers on the split tracks…IRK)
Well, new, up and coming bands… take a lesson from these guys. They know how to start a CD. It just starts off with some way cool heavy trash metal. No melodic slowly building intro… just right into metal! The vocals alternate from growls and a thrash yell. They call themselves melodic thrash… and I’d have to agree. (you know, sometimes bands are WAY different than what they say!) It’s cool thrash… not groundbreaking, but yet cool enough to get some airplay!

Porcupine Tree
Blank Planet Recurring
Atlantic / Lava
41:40 - 7 Tracks
This is a new EP called “Nil Recurring” which is mostly fairly tame, slower, jammy type stuff, of stuff left over from their newest album. Packaged for radio, there are edits of some of the cooler songs from Fear of a Blank Planet. We’re fans of Porcupine Tree, and since they can lean prog-metal on some stuff, and heck, where else are you gonna hear it? You’ll hear some of this on the Mosh Pit!

Schoolyard Heroes
Abominations
Stolen Transmission
44:41 - 11 Tracks
This is the full CD of a sampler we got a few weeks ago…   To recap from that mini-review…I almost think this is Gwen Stefani in a cool hard-rock metal-ish band. They are eclectic, getting pretty heavy in some parts, but just being fairly straightforward hard rock/metal.   This is something a little different than what we normally play, and it’s catchy overall. This might be a cool track to transition from Something Wonderful (the show before the Mosh Pit!)

Rob Gee
Rob Gee
Rock Ridge
54:03 - 13 Tracks
This is kind of an industrial metal DJ type guy.  It’s pretty cool… It’s like NY Hardcore mixed with industrial techno and DJ type stuff.  You’ll probably hear this on the Mosh Pit!

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza
Danza II The Electric Boogaloo
Blackmarket Activities
31:39 - 13 Tracks
This fits along with technical brutal-core.  A lot of chaotic metal goodness moving all around here.  Abrasive vocals, and just crazy musicianship going on.  This is brutal and the song titles are fun.  You’ll hear it on the Mosh Pit

Scum of the Earth
Sleaze Freak
Eclipse
39:31 - 23 Tracks
This band is fronted by Rob Zombie’s former guitarist, Riggs.  And gosh, for a while listening to this CD, I thought it was Rob Zombie… while the vocals are a little different, the music is basically the same as something Zombie would put out.  Punchy, a bit eery creepy, you know that halloween type of sound.  If you like the Zombie, you’ll like this, and if we can work it in, we’ll throw it on the air at the Mosh Pit!

Helloween
Gambling with the Devil
SPV
57:38 - 12 Tracks
This is a good solid power metal release from these veterans of all that is cheese power metal!  The songs don’t F around too much.  It’s heavy, fast, rifftacular and not very cheesy at all!  The guitar work is great, and the production is top notch…  They have stayed true to their sound, yet keeping it modern.  You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Otep
The Ascension
Koch
60:55 - 13 Tracks
The new release from Otep… Finally!  After having many record label problems…(they merged with another company and dropped half their bands)… they  got on board with Koch records and released this album.  It’s a little more complex, layered and less messing around.   It is still filled with Otep’s emotion and issues, but that’s what makes it great.  There’s a “ballad” that is actually pretty cool, I think they’ve played this live, it just has that familiar sound to it.  The bulk of the album is filled with catchy, heavy metal anthems that you will be hearing a lot of on the Mosh Pit.

Enthroned
Tetra Karcis
Napalm
35:37 - 10 Tracks
It’s not every week we get some good ol Black Metal CD.  I’ve been getting letters to the show lately asking for more Black Metal and we just haven’t gotten much new stuff in lately.  Well, Enthroned are back with their newest effort which does not disappoint!  It’s got classic Black Metal everything.  Fast blast beats, evil vocals and guitars and it has decent production but not so great that it’s like Dimmu Borgir and all “perfect”  This is all just right.

Agony Scene
Get Damned
Century Media
36:38 - 11 Tracks
Kind of a “southern thrash” thing going on.  Catchy heavy thrashy music with some normal scream/growls for vocals.  The trashy stuff is pretty cool and there are some pretty good breakdowns, you know more thrash type breakdowns and not the stereotypical hardcore breakdown.  This is good stuff, you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Stuff from last week that came in late…

MOD
Red, White and Screwed
Index Entertainment
48:46 - 14 Tracks
A new one from MOD!  It sounds like MOD… but damn, a bit heavier!  I can’t say there’s anything new and exciting about this, except it seems a little heavier than their older stuff.  \

Maeder
Maeder
Locomotive
41:26 - 12 Tracks
This is some power ballad-y early 90’s sounding hard rock stuff.  They sound good, I’m sure they’d put on a great live show to drink some beer to.  There are some cool heavier hard rockin’ songs on here, but nothing that’s really Mosh Pit material… but as always, if you request it, we’ll play it!

The Vision Bleak
The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey
Napalm
43:24 - 9 Tracks
This is a bit goth, a bit black metal, and if I had to compare it to a band, it’d be like Moonspell.  It’s down here as “horror/gothic metal”  Just in time for Halloween!  It sounds pretty cool, and if there’s time, we’ll play it and let you check it out for yourself!

Icarus Witch
Songs for the Lost
Cleopatra
46:41 - 10 Tracks
These guys are kind of a Judas Priest / Iron Maiden throwback.  The songs don’t waste time getting going.  It’s your basic meat and potatoes classic power metal sound.
