This was once a new feature for a Thursday but now #81 episodes old, we’ve been to putting together a head to head whereby one bands song is clearly *ahem* influenced by another to the point of plagiarism. That’s right folks. “This is the Riff Police. Pull over to the side of the road and
For some reason the thought of Christmas has always made us want to listen to a Slayer record or two. Maybe it’s that “Sleigh” and “Slay” sound similar? Who knows. Their debut album appeared via Metal Blade in 1983 and even though it has questionable production quality, it’s been a much loved album. It created
It seems like we’ve had to wait forever and a day for the debut full length album from Montreal Canada Blackened Thrashers Dizastra. We’ve been following them since their debut EP “Hell’s Gate” which appeared back in 2015 and while a line up change seemed to hold them back, this past summer saw them let

As the Max & Iggor show continues to your the Globe playing their Sepultura classics, in an interview with Ultimate Guitar Magazine that was hosted by Metal Hammer Magazine, Max Cavalera was asked about his various projects. It seems the future is bright for a new Killer Be Killed album and for a tour that
Aside from Testament, Exodus are arguably the other biggest band outside of the Big Four of Thrash, best known for Gary Holt’s incredible guitar work and although they’ve had a myriad of frontmen including Rob Dukes who is the man (“Shovel Headed Kill Machine” enough said!) , probably Steve “Zetro” Souza’s uniquely dry vocals.
