BIRDS OF PREY – ‘Sulfur and Semen’
With a lineup that includes members of Alabama Thunderpussy, Baroness, Beaten Back to Pure and Municipal Waste, BIRDS OF PREY is a vital part of the Southern metal explosion.

CD Review: Hail!Hornet
November 20, 2007 by Scott
Hail!Hornet are a newer band, but the members are not new to the game. Featuring members of Alabama Thunderpussy, Weedeater, Sourvien and Beaten Back To Pure. Hailing from the south, Hail!Hornet are a four piece band raining down sludge metal at its best…kind of. As if we needed another genre, they have self proclaimed their sound Grime-Metal. This about explains everything. Nothing clean cut about this recording. Everything is raw and in your face. Simple riff and simple beats. Don’t get me wrong, simple is good.
