Shattered Pain ep by Shattered Pain

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: May 2011, Music Review | 0

This ep came to our attention through a post on our Facebook wall (yes, we do pay attention). The three songs on their Reverbnation page are of the heavy alternative variety. There is a bit of a modern edge to … Continued

Circuit of Heaven by Human 2.7

I was first introduced to Marc Plainguet through Facebook. I can’t remember how exactly but I’m sure we were getting into some type of political mischief via Brian Healy’s facebook page. Anyway, Marc is a super nice guy and I … Continued

The second round of re-issues by Intense Millennium brought us the re-mastered re-issue of the classic debut by Ransom. When this album first came out in 1990, pop/glam metal ruled the airwaves and Ransom was immediately stuck in that genre … Continued

Replay by The Stand

by Steve Ruff | posted in: May 2011, Music Review | 0

This was the last record from The Stand. Recorded almost 10 years ago in 2002, this disc was definitely a more polished sound for the band as they had grown and progressed through the years. There is still the definitive … Continued
