Sculptured – Apollo Ends – CD (The End Records) An odd and hard to classify release. A progressive death metal band with a horn section… hum.. Maybe this CD would grow on me if I listened to it enough, but so far I don’t quite get it. Weak drumming, weak...

Eyehategod – Southern Discomfort – CD (Century Media) I describe the sound of this band as sludgy death grind metal. Combining a mixture of Black Sabbath’s doom and gloom with some Godflesh and Napalm Death. Extremely aggressive and insane vocals. Slow and...
