Rosemary’s Garden – La Musique Du Jardin – Review

Release Date: February 24th, 2009
Record Label: Over It Records
Genre: Folk Rock

With a band name like Rosemary’s Garden, you might think that people would be shunning it for it’s similarity to the demonic horror film Rosemary’s Baby. I mean, is this where she grew her evil turnips and planted devilish tomato plants? Or I might just be crazy and this is a four piece folk group from California that is soon to release their 2009 effort “La Musique Du Jardin.” You might question the French title, but their lead singer Michael-Louis de Terre has the Frenchiest name this side of the Bayou and translated into English it means “The Music Of The Garden,” so it can’t be all bad. I mean sometimes when I’m tirelessly digging up my backyard for treasure I put my ear to ground in hopes of hearing a nice serenade or two. read more

Release Date: February 3rd, 2009
Record Label: Metal Blade Records
Genre: Death Metal

Have you ever seen a movie that focuses on damnation or apocalypse? And while the world is in shambles and on fire you see something in the background? A big tall black monolith erected as a monument to pain and suffering as well as chaos and destruction. Well in a nut shell that is Cannibal Corpse. They have been around for more than 2 decades, released 11 studio albums, influenced countless imitators, and doing it all while staying as far away from the TV and radio as possible. They have always tried to stay on the trend of having every new album be heavier than the previous. Seeing that the bands last album “Kill” was highly favored in their eyes, their new album “Evisceration Plague” has a high hill to climb in order to comply with this lofty trend. read more
