Vital Spirit – Still As The Night, Cold As The Wind
As I sit here and listen to this masterpiece a bazillionth time, I realize I still have no idea how to write about it, but as they say, I’m willing to give it the old college try.
Drunk MFs – Dead End EP
The grooving rhythms will have you bopping your head while you wait for the bartender to pour you another. Interesting riffs keep the party going, while you find yourself singing along with Father W’s strong clear voice throughout. Dead End is a party you don’t want to miss!

Jesus Wept – Psychedelic Degeneracy EP
Death metal with a grindy sound, but not the grind speed. Nasty riffs that I’m pretty sure could actually cut you if you listen too closely. A nice mid-paced groove that gets the ole noggin’ banging. What’s not to like?

Biollante – J’Espère Que Tu Danseras Quelque Part
I’m typing, bobbing my head, and tapping my foot all to the push-pull rhythms of the music, so mission accomplished.
