Whitechapel – A New Era Of Corruption – Review

Release Date: June 8th, 2010
Record Label: Metal Blade Records
Genre: Deathcore

Whitechapel is releasing a new era ball cap, no mesh shorts…? Just playing, they are unleashing their third studio album on Metal Blade Records on June 8th entitled A New Era of Corruption. The effort brings a more mature writing style from a band that began as straight deathcore, eleven new heart pounding tracks blasting for a straight forty-one and a third minutes. A New Era of Corruption marks the first non concept album from Whitechapel and features some more melodic guitar riffs intertwined within the madness. read more

Kingdom Of Sorrow – Behind The Blackest Tears – Review

Release Date: June 8th, 2010
Record Label: Relapse Records
Genre: Metal

Kingdom of Sorrow are unleashing their new beast Behind the Blackest Tears. The side project of Jamey Jasta and Kirk Windstein may sound great originally, and hell their first album had the new and fresh factor to carry it along with the riffs. But the twelve new tracks show the tears at the seams were they were hidden in awe during the first album. When you dive in you may still find the riffs enjoyable from Kirk and company but overall they don’t have the same fresh feeling as before. Then the vocal tandem of Jasta and Kirk simply does not mesh well. read more

Dew Scented – Invocation – Review

Release Date: May 25th, 2010
Record Label: Prosthetic Records
Genre: German Metal

Dew Scented, no not the smell of air during the morning in summer, the German metal band. The bands latest installment of I titled albums is Invocation, with twelve new thrash jams spanning forty-six minutes.

Call The Cops – Call The Cops – Review

Release Date: June 22nd, 2010
Record Label: Myspace Records
Genre: Electro Pop Rock

Straight off the forward momentum that Call The Cops received after they released their 2009 EP “Motion Sickness,” such as signing to Myspace Records, and actually finding a reason to be on websites such as Buzznet and iLike (their newly acquired fans), I was quite eager to take a listen to their latest full-length effort. Sure the idea of a self-titled release and the pop rock genre in general has gotten a little old, but I was certain that their 81,000+ Myspace fans happened to know something that I didn’t yet. read more
