As I said before, 2013 had some very sick metal and hard rock music. But this year is looking pretty promising as well. Jake E. Lee (ex Ozzy/Badlands guitarist) and his new band Red Dragon Cartel, Behemoth, James LaBrie and Iced Earth have material set to be released between now and February. Other artist releasing highly anticipated albums include Judas Priest, Slayer, Gus G, Guns N’ Roses and Motley Crue. There are probably some more that I have yet to hear about, but for now here is a list of  bands with confirmed albums due this year and their titles if known.

HMH Presents: An Interview With Blackmass Of Rotting Flesh

Image
Rotting Flesh is an underground atmospheric black/death metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band formed in the early 90’s and have released multiple demos and two full length albums. I just recently found about this band via twitter, and decided to give them a listen and was far from disappointed. I have the honor of interviewing Blackmass, so without further ado, here’s Rotting Flesh in their own words: Hello how’s it going? Greetings! Very well indeed. So tell me how you guys got started. The band was formed back in 1992. Being an enthusiastic black and death metal fan myself, I wanted to do something of my own and decided to form Rotting Flesh. How did you come up with the band’s name? When the band was formed, we all gathered and had a discussion about how this endeavor of ours would be called. We came up with “Rotting Flesh”. Nothing special to add here, sorry to disappoint you! What was recording your first demo like? Th...

Finally It's Here!: I Am The Fire Gus G. Album Review

Image
This album review is long overdue. Finally the highly anticipated solo album by Greek virtuoso Gus G. has arrived. Even though it’s a fresh sound from anything he’s done before, it is far from disappointing and proves that Gus is a talented and diverse musician which is rare to come by in today’s highly manufactured music industry. Even though it is different from Firewind, it does share one similarity: not one bad song is on the album. It’s perfection from start to finish and has something for everybody. “Redemption” ft. Michael Starr (Steel Panther) takes you back to 80’s metal, and songs like “End of the line”, “My will be done” “Blame it on me” and “Eyes wide open” have that hard rock edge to them. “Just can’t let go”, title track “I am the fire”, and “Long way down” have the current but not generic modern rock/metal sound, and Instrumentals “Vengeance” ft. Dave Ellefson (Megadeth) and “Terrified”ft .Billy Sheehan are Gus being… well Gus, which means shredding like a mad man on...

2014 Grammys Disappoint Rock/Metal Fans (No surprise there)

Image
  It was clear that Rock N’ Roll was finally a major part of the Grammys last night…sorta. But even though there were a lot of good moments for classic rock and heavy metal (Beatles Reunion, Black Sabbath’s award presentation, Metallica’s pyro-filled performance) there were still a lot of disappointments that pointed out how much the Grammys truly care about the rock community. First off, the metal category isn’t shown during the actual award ceremony. Seriously? One of the biggest genres doesn’t deserve air time? And even though Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath both won awards, Sabbath’s “God is Dead?” lost out to Nirvana and Paul McCartney’s “Cut Me Some Slack” for best rock song. (Clearly no bias there at all) Also the final performance that included Nine Inch Nails, Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and Lindsey Buckingham was cut short. But I think the most disappointing snub of the night came during the tribute to the fallen musicians that excluded Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman....
