Distorted guitars, crazy rhythms, dense bass, and insane vocals. What it means to be a metal head.
The Veer Union Deliver An Anthem Of Hope With New Single "Empirical"
Vancouver, BC, Canada based veteran rockers The Veer Union have been grinding away for almost 2 decades, and yet still remain relevant in today’s chaotic and unpredictable music scene. The band’s particular alchemy of mixing primal energy and power with sensitive lyrics that touch on many emotional topics is what has propelled them over the years and helped build up a loyal and devoted following amongst heavy music fans. Their newest release “Empirical,” is a prime example of what has sustained them over time. They continue to evolve, but the core of their sound remains steadfast.

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Album Review. Content Warning.
I love heavy music, and while I know it isn't for everyone, I find it deeply compelling. The naunces, the raw, often unapologetically unfiltered emotions, and the technical prowess that is so often on display thrill me. I know lots of people miss that and that's fine.

A Gifted CD
The CD was compiled with others in a case that, if memory serves, was a bit like a photo album with those filmy sleeves. When late-elementary or early-middle school me discovered it while helping my grandmother babysit some of my cousins for the summer, finding the title of the CD seemed impossible. The display side was almost entirely black with a small relief of a coiled snake. Younger-me thought it must be called 'Elektra' since that was one of the words that stood out.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails . Content Warning.
Thirty years on, Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral still feels like a fresh breath of thick, toxic-filled, self-hatred-driven, cathartic air. This album is not a pretty journey to take. Anyone who has heard it will attest to that fact. So why have I chosen to write about its importance to me personally?

CARSEX Level Up With Scorching New Track "Crooked Canvas"
CARSEX is an edgy, punk and metal influenced band out of Long Beach, CA. They have leveled up their game with the release of their new single “Crooked Canvas”. The song, which was produced by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Alesana, Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Butcher Babies) is their clarion call for people to pay attention to who – and what – they support. They rail against blind fealty to leaders of political parties, and just following the herd to whoever the latest cult personality is. They want to make people aware of what they are buying into, when they are buying the latest buzzy thing.

Playlist: Pigs, parties and Portuguese
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – Mr Medicine It’s easy to mock the metalheads. But we don’t do cheap shots here, plus we like a bit of metal now and then (especially if the now is hammering back up the A1 in the middle of the night). Pigs x7 (the approved shorthand for a name that requires a big billboard) rock like a good ‘un and have a happy knack of pushing their own sonic boundaries without disappearing down an unwanted rabbit hole.
