Last Friday saw the arrival of “Of Truth & Sacrifice” by Heaven Shall Burn via Century Media, a double album with a run time of 97 minutes, the creation of which has meant that the Germans haven’t taken to the stage in over two years. Upon that record sits a cover of “Critical Mass” by
Today’s head to head otherwise known as Vs Tuesday, in which we face off two bands who have covered the same song and let you decide who the winner is as the ultimate judge is actually kind of a cheat. Why? Well in the Red Corner (trademark, patient applied for) we have Body Count, who
Technically speaking the third and final studio album from Seattle Grunge Kings Nirvana, “In Utero” appeared to both mixed reviews and critical acclaim in September 1993. The album itself was recorded over a two week period in February of the same year at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls Minnesota with engineer Steve Albini (Zao, Helmet)

As some point in ancient history we put the resurgent The Agony Scene head to head against Melodic Death Metallers The Black Dahlia Murder with their respective versions of “Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones. The original appeared as a single in advance of the bands 1966 album “Aftermath” and it’s fair to say
Probably the greatest War protest anthem ever written, “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival has been covered so many times that it’s a fitting tribute in it’s own right. It appeared on the bands 1969 album “Willy and the Poor Boys” and has been featured extensively in popular culture depictions of the Vietnam War and
The subject of today’s head to head is “Come Undone” by Duran Duran. The highly influential New Wave band formed in 1978 and enjoyed huge success throughout the 80s. They’ve been covered multiple times including most notably by Deftones and count among their fans KoRn vocalist Jonathan Davis. The track itself was the second single
King Of Pop or not, there aren’t many people on Planet Earth that don’t know about the legacy of Michael Jackson.
