This is clearly a band that retains total control over its metal destiny. Delivering such a strong musical package complete with sing along chorus and killer guitar riffs.

Cry of the wolf magazine interview with LIZZY BORDEN In the world of heavy metal and especially 80's based American metal the band LIZZY BORDEN always strikes a special chord with fans. Consistent in the change from album to album yet retaining the classic Borden sound is an art form unto itself. The new album MY MIDNIGHT THINGS out June 11th on metal blade is a tour de force of modern hard rock meets classic American heavy metal. The theme centers on love but each song delivers that traditional Borden kick in the throat. Truly an artist that never fails to deliver, LIZZY BORDEN took the time out of tour prep to talk with us about the new album and an ever evolving music industry. Do you ever get tired of promoting with the media? No. It's part of the gig. The new album is just a completely solid album. Why the long wait? Thanks so much. I've been getting such a great response for the last three weeks. Never had a response so positive like t...

    The Palladium in Worcester Mass is a great venue to see a show, especially a metal show. Tow acts: Hammerfall and Flotsam and Jetsam, one stage, Hundreds of metal hungry fans old and young alike. First band to take the stage was the sonically brutal, bare knuckles, Heavy metal icons, Flotsam and Jetsam. They tore apart the stage with sheer precision like a highly sharpened sword. This is true American metal, fast and furious. Hearkening back to their earlier speed metal and thrash roots, Flotsam delivered a soul searing set of old hits and new surprises.      We pushed our way as close to the stage as we could get, the excitement building. The stage goes black and this venue explodes in power metal ferocity. Hammerfall appears out of the darkness, like the viking Gods of old, tearing and slashing across the stage. They came here to raise the hammer of metal high above the sky and they did. Racing into such classics as "Hector's Hymn", "Renegade", ...

        80's rockers ENUFF Z NUFF and BULLET BOYS brought their brand of hard rocking hair metal to the vault @ the greasy Luck Pub in New Bedford, Mass. Saturday night.  Tearing through a raucous rock and roll set of new and old songs, ENUFF Z NUFF was clearly a band that loves what they do. They tore the stage apart in unbridled rock and roll ecstasy and included the hits, "Fly High Michelle", and "New Thing" back to back.  Performing in a reformatted bank  ( Thus, the name of the club), leads to some serious acoustical challenges. The sound quality for ENUFF Z NUFF was spot on. In simplest terms, and despite being an almost nostalgic era act, ENUZZ Z NUFF displayed an incredibly diverse range of musicianship . This is how rock and roll was made, raw and exciting. They deliver.        Next up was BULLET BOYS, an 80's hard rock powerhouse that delivered a slew of hits, like "Smoo...

    ODEUM DEUS lays it all on the table with two songs, "Black Coffee", and "Nothing". Both songs are available on Spotify. So as a rule we don't cover death metal here at the shop, but in this case we decided to indulge ourselves. Besides, these guys hail from Sweden so it has to be good.      First listen goes to the song "Black Coffee". I anticipated something else, so it wasn't too bad to tolerate. Typical death metal here except it borders on an almost melodic death metal feel. In the end even though I rarely drink black coffee, I find myself hitting replay on this one.     "Nothing" is consistent with the style, although the guitar lead was impressive. Again, almost melodic for a death metal track. I suppose that is what the term "New Swedish Death Metal" refers to. Kind of like new Nordic cuisine.       If your a fan of death metal then this band is one to watch. They seem to have something elevated a...
