I am going to make a provocative statement and say that Nickelback > Creed. My arguments: Creed do the godawful Christian Rock thing, their videos are basically a conglomeration of random spectacular-looking nonsense in slowmo to create the illusion of profundity, and Scott Stapp sounds like a constipated Eddie Vedder.

Kondom des Grauens (Killer Condom)
Beware of carnivorous condoms in New York! The ravenous little bastards feed off of male genitalia and no one knows what their deal is. The first known case takes us back to the Quicky hotel, where a corrupt teacher took his student to let her “work” her way up to better grades and eventually ended […]
MWTE – Attraction To Light
I’ve been following the career of electronic trio MWTE from Metz quite closely for a while because I’m a huge fan of their first release, and on Friday two weeks ago I finally held their second (and first physical) EP in my hands: Attraction To Light. The artwork left the first fair impression. There is something […]
Five Finger Death Punch – The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell
At the end of July Five Finger Death Punch released the first part of their double album, The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell, and in November the second part followed, so I figured I’d review them both at the same time to decide whether it was worth being split in […]
Trash Monday XCV
We’ve all seen them…the living leather handbags that usually tend to smoke a lot and sit all day in a pub, after their visit at the tanning salon…they now have an anthem. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jRc3BMhE5c]
Cargo
Little gets me like father-child relationships, and nothing gets me like father-child relationships in bleak post-apocalyptic settings. This has to do with father-child dynamics (which I find fascinating), but mostly the concept of unconditional, selfless love in the face of a woefully hopeless future. I was bawling my eyes out 10 minutes into both the […]
Falling Promises – Dystopia
The long-awaited debut full-length of the Luxembourgish hardcore ensemble Falling Promises is about to be released and I’ve had the chance to listen to it before it comes out…so here are my thoughts on Dystopia! After an intro featuring Charlie Chaplin’s world-famous speech from The Great Dictator, you are immediately hit in the face with […]
Weekend Nachos – Still
Tower of Rome once stated “We put the fun in funeral”. Guess this could be the best description for the biggest surprise coming from Illinois, best known for its catchy and original name Weekend Nachos and their newest gem Still. Just like putting fun into funeral; this band manages a difficult duty unlike any other; which is to sound […]
Trash Monday XCIV
I am not sure if Kanye simply tests how stupid his fans are or if he has absolutely no sense for music? Listen to the song and make your own decision. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBAtAM7vtgc]
