GOATWHORE: A “CHARADE OF CHAOS”—AND A SEWING NEEDLE?

MU_Goatwhore

Blood for the Master … out this Valentine’s Day … is another neck-cracking, inverted cross-rocking hell ride, driven by guitarist Sammy Duet’s tommy gun riffs, and filled with scathing anti-Christian blasts like “Death to the Architects of Heaven” and “Judgment of the Bleeding Crown.” Continue reading

SKRILLEX: BANGARANG

CD_Skrillex

Is Skrillex overexposed? Yes. But the truth is, you just don’t rise to the levels this kid has—SPIN covers, five f-ckin’ Grammy nominations—if you don’t have the skills.

CHROMEO

MU_Chromeo

When Chromeo first started jacking ’80s synth riffs and half-jokingly opening their hearts to craft a brand of sexed-up electrofunk, it began as somewhat of a novelty. Since then, they’ve not only become the pimps of the nu-disco/electropop scene. Continue reading

PENDULUM

CD_Pendulum

Immersion has already been tearing up the European charts for months. It won’t do that kind of damage here because there aren’t slutty rappers ranting about clubs and cock over the hooks. Also, big beat-infused dance rock ain’t exactly pop fodder these days. Continue reading

Have a Merry Metal Xmas

metalxmas

The only thing that sucks more than Christmas songs are remakes of Christmas songs. But there are a few metal remakes that don’t completely suck and actually grow on us unabashed headbangers–like fungus on a jello mold. Continue reading
