Monster Magnet / Royal Thunder / Anti-Mortem / Dizmal Daze 2013

| Leave a Comment

When i was 13 years old, the first unsupervised concert I paid to go see was Monster Magnet with Corrosion in Conformity here in the Windy City.  That show opened up an entire different and wonderful world to me, where live music and performances from my favorite artists have molded me into the music lover […]

The Sword’s J.D. Cronise Interview / Apocryphon Review

| Leave a Comment

Here is one of my first big interviews that I did, with J.D. Cronise from The Sword, back in 2012! You know, The Sword and I go way back.  I remember being a really big fan of the Guitar Hero franchise back in the day when I managed a video game store.  My store held […]

Here is an article I wrote back in 2014 for probably the Rock In Chicago Tumblr page.   I am totally loving going back into my old archives of show and album reviews I have done to show all of you! Ahh, the Cobra Lounge.  It’s one of the few places in Chicago where there is […]

Chicago Open Air 2016

/ | Leave a Comment

Skeptic.  That is precisely how I felt when this tour was announced.  It is no secret that fans of metal these days are at war with each other, forming cliques within the different types of subgenres that have spawned over the last 15 or so years.  I remember reading and laughing at all the trolls […]

Elder – Reflections Of A Floating World

| Leave a Comment

Wrote this bad boy back in 2017 for BloodRock Media.  Enjoy, FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM! Wow.  That is all I have to say about this album.  Just WOW.  I have been a fan of Elder since I heard their “Dead Roots Stirring” album, and have followed them closely over the years.  This band has evolved […]

Body Count – Bloodlust

/ | Leave a Comment

Here is an old review of Body Count’s “Bloodlust” I did for BloodRock Media back in 2017. Oh Body Count, what an interesting history you have!  Back in the 90s you both interested metal fans and had half of the United States hate you with your first release with the infamous “Cop Killer”.  With all […]

Mastodon – Emperor of Sand

/ | Leave a Comment

Wrote this bad boy back in 2017…  I think it was posted on BloodRock Media’s site. Oh Mastodon we have gone through one hell of a wild ride together, haven’t we?  Mastodon is one of those bands that I am truly proud to have grown and evolved with.  From their punishing riffs on Remission to […]

Wintersun Interview

| Leave a Comment

Another cool interview I dug up… This one goes back to 2014, where I interview Wintersun! Let us go back to 2004, shall we?  2004 was the year I was slowly breaking out of my black metal elitist phase where I compared every song and album I heard to Burzum.  Black metal was really my […]

Ancient VVisdom – 33

/ | Leave a Comment

Here is an album review I did back in 2017 for Ancient VVisdom’s “33” album. Fans of Occult Rock rejoice!  Magic Bullet Records has another killer album under its belt, Ancient VVisdom’s “33.”  11 tracks of dark, brooding acoustic tunes boiled up in a cauldron in Cleveland, Ohio, await you this October and take you […]

Amon Amarth – Jomsviking Album/Show Review

/ | Leave a Comment

An album/show review of Amon Amarth back in 2016. You know, I really love to see how bands evolve.  Some bands change their sound, some bands even change genres, but in Amon Amarth’s case, these guys now put on a theatrical show to go along with their crushing and punishing riffs.  One thing I really […]
