Some band names seem destined to be used over and over, and Vicious Circle is one of those names. As of 2006, at least five bands have been called Vicious Circle -- possibly more -- but the Vicious Circle heard on The Art of Agony may be the oldest. This Vicious Circle, a death metal outfit from southern New Jersey, goes back to 1989 -- and on The Art of Agony (originally released on Neoblast in 2004 and reissued by Crash Music in 2006), the headbangers show no signs of mellowing with age. This is a brutal, head-crushing effort -- not as heavy as some death metal bands, but brutal nonetheless. And that brutality comes from a variety of influences, including early American death metal (especially the Florida bands that Scott Burns worked with), thrash, grindcore, and the technical side of Scandinavian death metal. The guitar playing on this 44-minute CD is very technique-minded, whether Vicious Circle are playing at breakneck speed, embracing a medium tempo, or providing a breakdown. Tempo changes are constant; they are so frequent that they give The Art of Agony an extremely chaotic, spastic, nervous quality, which is exactly what Vicious Circle are going for. Some extreme metal releases are draining because of their pure, unmitigated heaviness, but the thing that does the most to make The Art of Agony an exhausting listen isn't the heaviness or the density -- it is the nervous-as-hell atmosphere that all those tempo changes create. Despite being somewhat uneven and inconsistent, The Art of Agony is a generally decent effort that is worth hearing if one is in the mood for unapologetic sensory assault. ~ Alex Henderson

Prior to Lovedrive's recording, the Scorpions' lineup had a major change when their lead guitarist, Uli Jon Roth, quit the group (not to mention, the rock genre was rapidly changing). With this in mind, the band not only highlighted the album with the licks and riffs of three guitarists (Rudolf Schenker, Michael Schenker, Matthias Jabs), but they also dramatically changed their style to sound more like that of Van Halen. ...

Megadeth Endgame CD  (2009)

CD $15.79  4.7 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
The release of 2009's ENDGAME brings with it a startling realization: if first-generation thrash metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" -- Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth -- would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been "well, anyone but Megadeth!" And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later -- more than any of the other three have managed -- that's exactly what's come to pass. The group's second release for Roadrunner, whose title apparently refers to "coming full circle" rather than any sort of goodbye, finds the latest iteration of Megadeth-- debuting new guitarist Chris Broderick(ex-Nevermore, Jag Panzer)--working primarily within their technical thrash comfort zone (think PEACE SELLS through RUST IN PEACE), with only a few latter-day elements and ...

Although Nazareth had already broken into the big time in England with their 1973 release RAZAMANAZ, the band had yet to crack the U.S. market. Their stateside break came two years later in the form of 1975's HAIR OF THE DOG. By keeping to their high voltage rock formula the Scots band finally won U.S. rock fans over, though it didn't hurt that they included one slight musical departure, the melodic ballad "Love Hurts." Besides becoming a monster worldwide hit, Nazareth (for better or worse) helped create the whole power ballad format--a style adopted wholesale by numerous other bands by the late '80s. But besides "Love ...
Metamorphosis
Zero Hour Metamorphosis CD  (2003)

Art Of Agony music CDs
CD $13.89  4.5 stars Audio Samples
Zero Hour was built from the ground up to take prog-metal to a new level - Metal Maniacs.

Zero Hour's intricate riffs and progressions remind me of a more metallic Dream Theater meets early Megadeth meets Meshuggah (but with a vocalist who can sing!) - Hard Radio

A classic revisited.

Before their ground breaking Sensory debut, The Towers of Avarice, Zero Hour had released an EP in the hopes of scoring a recording contract. The self-financed Metamorphosis established the group as a prog metal tour de force upon its issuance in 1998; an initial pressing of 2,000 units sold out quickly, leaving fans worldwide ...
