“I’ve never been big on punk. Once in a blue moon, the mood might hit me and I spin some Social Distortion or Dead Kennedys but it’s never gotten beyond that point. It’s rarely on my mind, as well, so rather than an active dislike, it is simply a blank spot on my list of genres. With this established it should stand to reason that upon reviewing retro heavy/doom metal outfit Devil, the lightbulb for punk shouldn’t even flicker. Yet, early into To the Gallows, the third album by the Norsemen, the bulb was glowing bright enough to cast shadows on the walls.” Punks can’t play doom, can they?
Dead Kennedys
Flotsam & Jetsam – Ugly Noise Review
Flotsam & Jetsam is back to follow up their fairly successful 2010 opus, The Cold. Steel Druhm wanted to see more of the same, but he may have to learn to live with disappointment. Lots of it! At least the title is accurate.
Seremonia – Seremonia Review
More Finnish music you never heard of? Yep, and this time it’s vest metal! Seremonia brings you some doom rockin, acid ingesting, 60s influenced rock with creepy female vox and Finnish lyrics. If that patches your denim, then read on, flower child!
Mortillery – Murder Death Kill Review
With the third review in a week, AMG is now the unofficial home of retro thrash. Forward all complaints to SLAYER!!!
