Music Pics of 2006: Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage

Insane. Jaw dropping. I'm not usually much for operatic power metal, but these guys transcend any and all barriers and preconceived notions... Absolutely amazing.

ART SHOW!

I'm a long-time fan of Mr. Remender and Mr. Dwyer (as well as a new fan of Mr. Cross!), so nedless to say, it's a trip being involved with this show. I'll be showing comic and poster art and be giving away posters and hawking other related junk (art too).

Music Pics of 2006: Enslaved - Ruun



The following is an excerpt from Adrien Begrand's column on Popmatters.com.

"Fifteen years into its long career, Norway’s Enslaved is only just starting to find its niche in the metal world, and in the wake of the stupendous Below the Lights and last year’s bold Isa, Ruun proves to be even more daring. The band continues to gradually shed its black-metal skin with songs such as “Entroper” and “Api-Vat” more simple and groove-oriented, but the sonic ambience of that darkest of genres is still prevalent, from Grutle Kjelsson’s sinister screech to plenty of tremolo picking. Mood and melody mesh most impressively on “Essence”, which starts as a stately ballad, but explodes into an exhilarating coda near the end."
