Old School Review: Judas Priest Metal Works 73-93

Old School Review: Judas Priest Metal Works 73-93   
Judas Priest Metal Works 73-93 as they state in the sleeve is not a best of, not a greatest hits record, just great Priest songs from 1973 to 1993. There are other compilations for Judas Priest out there like “The Essential Judas Priest” that have great […]

OSR…Kinda |Bullet For My Valentine: The Poison

Against my better judgment and suggestions from people, I bought Bullet For My Valentines The Poison. Now I can’t judge their new record because I haven’t heard it. But if it is anything like The Poison then I don’t want to hear it. This was poison to my ears. When it started out I was […]

OSR: Soundtrack To The Apocalypse | Slayer Box Set

Originally released in 2003, The Soundtrack To The Apocalypse is a must collectible for any Slayer fan. The box is kind of cool and it’s shaped and opens like an Ammo can. You get a small slayer tapestry, a mock Slayer concert pass, 4 cd’s of music and a DVD with some old school live […]

Ols School Review: All That Remains- This Darkened Heart

All that remains This Darkened Heart is the second release for the Massachusetts band on Prosthetic Records. With Behind Silence And Solitude three years under their belt they had established their name and sound. In 2003 it was time to mold that sound into a better barrage of metal mastery.
A line up change went […]

Old School Review: Bad Religion ‘80-’85

I’m reaching way back here with this one and this is not metal but it is one of my favorite records. Bad Religion have always been the subject of genre placement. Some say they are hardcore, some say they are punk but the boys in B.R. have always called them selves punk rock and as […]

Old School Review Killswitch Engage: Alive or Just Breathing

A lot of times I discover bands when they have been out for while and then I work my way back to their old stuff. In this case its Killswitch Engage. I purchased “As Daylight Dies” through BMG and took a chance buying it because I had not really heard much KSE before and figured […]

Old School Review: Entombed- Wolverine Blues

Entombed: Wolverine Blues

Released: 1993 Earache

I first heard the song “Wolverine Blues” on Headbangers ball back in late ‘93 and was instantly a fan. A week or two later co-worker had given me some money to pick up a few CD’s. The next day I went to a small local record stare and was picking […]
