Ah, the seventies…a time of love, fun and loads and loads of drugs as evidenced by this gem of music history. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6tnj7IEI0E]

Scar The Martyr – Scar The Martyr
As you might have noticed from some of my previous reviews, I follow everything Slipknot and its members do almost religiously. Which is why I was very delighted when I learned that Joey Jordison, their drummer, started a new project called Scar The Martyr earlier this year. Not much was known by then and first …
Sipping – 49.25/6.20
France is known for many things. Like losing wars, being romantic and Louis de Funès but metal is not a big export it can claim. While they do have a handful of really good and even well-known bands that made it internationally, they are mostly know musically for their pop and rap. Today’s review is …
The Majestic Unicorns From Hell – Valde Purgamentum
“Holy fuck!”…those were the first words that came to my mind after I finished my very first listen-through of The Majestic Unicorns From Hell‘s debut album Valde Purgamentum. And I could probably end my review here, and have said everything that needs to be said. But, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t at least …

The Devil Wears Prada – 8:18
Almost exactly two years after releasing their critically acclaimed Dead Throne, the Ohio-based band The Devil Wears Prada is back with their fifth record 8:18. I remember when I heard the first track off it, I was slightly underwhelmed since it sounded very generic and I was hoping for something more. But since I never …
Weakonstruction – Reinventing Ourselves
As I mentioned in my review of their debut EP, the Luxembourgish punk ensemble Weakonstruction are releasing their first full length Reinventing Ourselves on October 19th and I’m proud to present you with yet another pre-release review. So let’s dive right in! The general formula of the eleven songs remains unchanged from their known style, …
Doomed From Day One – Nine Fingers
Like my fellow writers here at El Gore, I generally choose what album I want to write about which is one of the perks of being an independent website. However, every now and then bands or their managers hit us up to ask us for a review and we generally agree since it’s fun to …
Tonight Alive – The Other Side
It’s time that I come clean about something I do not deny when asked about, but that I don’t usually say out loud: I’m a sucker for pop punk with female lead singers. It all started in 2002 when Avril Lavigne released her debut album and since then I, almost religiously, check out everything that …
Trash Monday LXXXV
A brilliant (read: hilarious) cover of one of the few songs by Britney Spears that I actually enjoy in its original form. The video cracked me up the first I saw it, and I hope you’ll experience the same thing! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMy0KPz8Vvo]
Sleepers’ Guilt – Road Of Emptiness
Today I bring you the second highlight of the month in the national metal scene: Sleepers’ Guilt‘s second release Road Of Emptiness! Now, if you have read my review of their first endeavor you know that I wasn’t a fan of the vocals, but I liked the instrumental work. Earlier this year the band parted …
