Primal Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  gut wrenching riff extravaganza
John Mortimer and his fellow axe-grinding horsemen of the apocalypse have returned after nearly a 3 year hiatus yet have clearly utilized this precious time to good use. "Primal", their latest pyrotechnic to hit, ignite & lay smoldering within the metal beat street, contains nary a radio-friendly sound or power chord and in fact, is Holocaust's heaviest offering to date. Mortimer's vocals, once a thin sarcastic wail have now suddenly metamorphosed into a menacing, almost hardcore-sounding, snarl. This is a dark, brooding and deadly serious affair well punctuated by intelligent inwardly-searching lyrics. "Iron Will", imbedded with its' Sabbath-like leaning towards all things doom-related, is a spirited & confident bulldozer of a song as it defiantly marches at mid pace, pounding, bending & breaking as each second passes & falls. "Transcendence" and "They Colonize" are 2 other album highlights though I hasten to add that Primal is a 10 round smack in the chops (no distracting instrumentals here folks).Holocaust is one of those bands,distinctly off-center yet wildy & diversely creative. If you are expecting melodic radio-friendly hard rock or God forbid, nu-metal, then pick up the pace and run in the opposite direction. This album, virtually all in the slow to mid pace realm in relation to velocity, is a POWERFUL train wreck of a release. Heavier & darker than all prior albums, Holocaust's latest is a virtual guitar-pummeling and well positioned to take on the record buying public and reduce them to bleeding, ear-split masses of electro-executed filth.In a word it's...well, PRIMAL.

Challenging all those who long ago dismissed them as second-rate and painfully cheesy Teutonic power-thrashers, Rage inaugurate their 18th studio album, Speak of the Dead, with an ambitious, 25-minute song suite subtitled "Lingua Mortis." OK. Get ready for this, though: it's actually very entertaining! Part symphonic orchestration, part Spanish guitar austerity, part organ-driven progressive rock in the style of '70s legends Kansas and, obviously, part heavy metal at its most over-the-top dramatic (and, sure, just a little cheesy, in true Rage tradition), the magnum opus' multiple compositional dimensions are, at the very least, unexpected, and at most, a whole new avenue of expression for the group -- who knew? Unfortunately (or fortunately, for the many fans of Rage's traditional melodic thrash fare) the album's remaining eight tracks revert to business as usual; commingling rather forgettable, standard issue numbers like "No Fear" and "Be with Me or Be Gone," with occasionally inspired slabs of anthemic heavy metal ...

Led by formerBang Tango frontman Joe Leste, the Beautiful Creatures' debut disc is a non- sentimental journey that connects the attributes of commercial rock with the sonic muscle of contemporary heavy metal. The Beautiful Creatures overwhelming appeal lies in their command of traditional pop/rock songcraft bolstered by expert musicianship. Cuts including "1 A.M.," "Wasted," "New Orleans," and "Goin' Off" encapsulate the qualities that catapulted L.A. Sunset Strip glam to the top of the charts in the '80s: guitar licks a descendent of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, hooky singalong choruses, and lyrics that depict the decadent side of life with a tinge of sensitivity. Yet this disc is far from a nostalgia trip. The dueling guitars of DJ Ashba and Anthony Focx draw from grunge, avant-garde and traditional blues without a wasted note or meandering off into self-indulgent solos. Bassist Kenny Kweens tastefully employs five-string, lower-register riffs that complement drummer Glen Sobel's relentless four/four hammering. Sean Beavan's simple live-in-the-studio production approach is a perfect fit for this ...
