Review: For their second album, Slave To The Grind, rock behemoths Skid Row decided to go with a more harsh and raw sound. They also upped their lyrical game and found fresh new ground that swerved your more typical rock cliches. It paid off and the album that was originally released in 1991 became a classic with fans old and new. The heavy metallers now reissue it in all its original glory on orange and black marbled vinyl which means you can enjoy highlights like 'Livin' On A Chain Gang,' 'Slave To The Grind' and 'Get The Fuck Out' in a sonic quality never experienced before.
Review: Originally released in 1992, the fifth full-length from the German thrash metal pioneers marked a notable embracing of more modern metallic composition, pulling from the burgeoning death metal sound to help sharpen their sonic assault. What resulted was a band who originally formed in 1981 proving they could still go riff for riff with any of their more youthful contemporaries with a barrage of their most frenetic, fast-paced speed-thrash up to that point in their career. Their final effort with founding drummer Chris Witchhunter, the LP also marked the debut of guitarist Andy Brings and now comes home newly remastered and spread out across a lush red vinyl 2xLP.
Review: Spiritbox returns with a sophomore effort that builds on the band's explosive trajectory. Following their chart-topping debut and Grammy-nominated EP, the band dives deeper into their signature sound, a visceral blend of metalcore intensity and soaring melodicism. Co-produced by Mike Stringer and Dan Braunstein, 'Tsunami Sea' showcases a band firing on all cylinders, their musicality and songwriting prowess reaching new heights. Tracks like 'Soft Spine' and 'Perfect Soul' demonstrate Spiritbox's ability to seamlessly blend crushing riffs with ethereal vocals and intricate arrangements. This is an album that demands to be heard.
