Coffins/Ilsa - Split E.P.
Released by: Relapse Records
Released on: February 28th, 2016.
Purchase From Amazon Metal knows no geographical boundaries! So it only makes sense that Japan's Coffins would release a split E.P. with Ilsa, (a band named after a certain She-Wolf Of The S.S.?) who hail from mighty Baltimore, Maryland. Only one song each? This review is going to be short. Coffins are one side one. Their track is called Tyrant and it runs just under five... -

Spazz - Sweatin' To The Oldies / Sweatin' 3: Skatin', Satan & Katon
Released by: Tank Crimes
Released on: March 11thh, 2016.
Purchase From Amazon Spazz isn't around anymore but from 1992 through to 2000 or so, bass player Chris Dodge (who was in No Use For A Name for a while), drummer Max Ward and guitar player Dan Boleri (all three shared vocal duties) put out a LOT of material, the vast majority of which is pretty damn hard to find. As influential in the powe... -

Released by: Aural Music
Released on: March 11th, 2016.
Purchase From Amazon If Goblin and Black Sabbath got together and had a really horrible orgy, the bastard offspring of that coupling of the damned could very well sound like Arcana 13, an Italian doom quartet that channel that which Ozzy and Tony and Bill and Geezer laid down, with thick and heavy doses of Claudio Simonetti's soundtrack legends worked in for good measure. When you th... -

VIP Nation have this thing down to a military science so the rules are spelled out upfront: no personal photos and all cell phones are to be handed in to be returned after the meet and greet. Our group is about 15 people - one of the smaller ones according to our hosts. We are also hande... -

Anvil - Anvil Is Anvil
Released by: Steamhammer/SPV
Released on: February 26th, 2016.
Purchase From Amazon ANVIL's 16th studio record is a workmanlike slab of decent midline trad metal. The Canadians - or really more specifically guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner - have been at this game since the late 70's so they have had plenty of experience in the studio. But despite the 2009 documentary made about them that gave them a momentary profile boost, ANVIL have never reall... -

Purchase From Amazon Black Tusk's bass player, Jonathan Athon, was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2014 and this latest release from the band he helped form is the last recordings he contributed to.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have been at this since the early 1980s and are probably best remembered for giving bassist Jason Newstead to METALLICA. Their first two records - Doomsday For The Deceiver and No Place For Disgrace are considered classics of the thrash metal genre but like many other acts that started strong on an indie label and wound up on a major label during the thrash signing boom ...05-25-2021, 10:02 AM -

Purchase From Amazon Recorded in Bulgaria - where life is cheap! Hot on the heels of his utterly bizarre We Are One collaboration (also reviewed here at RSP!), everyone's favorite Teutonic Metal ogre Herr Udo Dirkschneider returns with that ubiquitous staple - the live album. For a while now it has been common practice for legacy acts, or pretty much any band with a history over 20 years long, to release a live album...03-05-2021, 01:04 AM -
Released by: Massacre Records Released on: February 12, 2021. Purchase From Amazon “Metal in my head... EXPLODING!†Germany's WIZARD have been at this since 1991 and at this point have pretty much nailed this “true metal†thing down to a science. This, the band's 12th full length offers very little in the way of musical surprises and appears to be purposefully designed that way. WIZARD are catering to a very specific demographic - aficionados of gloriously irony-free...01-28-2021, 10:19 AM
