Slayer: World Painted Blood

Praise, hail motherfucking Satan, Slayer is back. In what was a relatively short break compared to previous waits, Slayer has followed up 2006′s Christ Illusion with World Painted Blood. The promises for this new album were much the same that they are for every new Slayer release. It was preceded with the usual, “This sounds [...]

 
Megadeth: Endgame

I have been listening to Megadeth for way too long. There are albums by them that I absolutely love and some that I hate more than myself.¬† After Metallica’s successful comeback with Death Magnetic, I thought for sure that Dave Mustaine would come out swinging with this new Megadeth record.¬† Instead he gave me the [...]

 
Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown Tour

As I waited in line, surrounded by only the most colorful of people, I thought to myself, “There’s no way they could possibly be any better than last time.”¬† I’d seen Green Day 4 years prior at the same place, the AT&T Center in San Antonio, and that show stood at the top of my [...]

 
Municipal Waste: Massive Aggressive

Anyone that knows me knows that I love the thrash metal.¬† I cut my metal teeth on the genre, and I’ll always have a soft spot for it.¬† In recent years, thrash has seen a pretty major resurgence with bands like Evile, Toxic Holocaust and of course, Municipal Waste.¬† While I do enjoy it, I’m [...]

 
Steel Panther: Feel the Steel

Kill those fucking fuck heads, Who program MTV. They can suck my ass, With all the record companIIIIIIESSSS!!! I don’t usually write stuff about music here at The Breach.  But on this day, I feel compelled.  So for the uninitiated, listen to the following. As you can tell, Steel Panther is what’s commonly called “cock [...]

 
The Summer Slaughter Tour 2009

The Summer Slaughter tour is supposed to be the most extreme tour of the summer. It touts itself as a traveling caravan of the ‘best of the best’ amongst the death/extreme metal community.¬† While it certainly does have the cream of the death metal crop in Suffocation and Necrophagist, it is far from being an [...]

 
Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown

It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since Green Day released their major label debut, Dookie.¬† It seems like it was yesterday that Billie Joe Armstrong & crew gave us their tribute to masturbation and boredom.¬† Who didn’t love that record?¬† Anyone that claims to not have owned that in 1994 [...]

 
Guitar Hero: Metallica

I have to get this out of the way first. ¬†I’ve kind of lost track of how many times Metallica has raised a hand to me. ¬†I’ve been beaten so many times, it’s hard to remember every incident. ¬†And when the smoke clears for a moment, rather than hold them accountable for their actions, I’ll [...]

 
Guns 'N Roses: Chinese Democracy

I tried, man. ¬†I nearly died listening to this. This is not a Guns ‘N Roses record. ¬†This is an Axl Rose and guest musicians record. ¬†I am aware of the surprisingly positive opinions regarding this album. Rolling Stone kissed its ass (whose ass don’t they kiss?) and I see too many people cutting Axl [...]

 
Lamb of God: Wrath

You know the old adage in rock and metal that every great riff has already been written?¬† That has to be what drives Lamb of God to do what they do.¬† They heard someone say this at some point early in their career and responded with, “Oh yeah?” and went home to create the most [...]
