Words by Jimmy Glinster Picture an 8-bit video game version of a Technical Death Metal riff, and that’s exactly how this album kicks off with the opening track, Flight of The Quetzalcoatlus. Then it gets heavy and technical, just as you’d expect from an Intergalactic Tech Death Metal Band. Noodling guitars, double kick, and guttural vocals with a touch of melodic piano pretty-well sum this one up. Continue reading THE BEAST OF NOD: Multiversal at HEAVY Magazine - Rock, Punk, Metal Music ...

Dead In A Hot Tin Shed follows suit and is possibly even more brutal than the opening track. Continue reading Album Review: 12GAUGE RAMPAGE ...

The pleasant surprise is that Snake Eyes is not only the best of the G.I. Continue reading SNAKE EYES: G.I. JOE ORIGINS Review at HEAVY Cinema.

I want to preface what I am about to say here by saying that I am normally the person in a conversation that will defend M. Night Shyamalan as a film-maker. Aside from The Last Airbender and After Death I have enjoyed all of his films and have even found merit films like Lady In The Water and The Happening that some seem to despise.
