This month, one of the biggest metal acts drops a new record into our laps, the new darker, sexier, sicker Black Widow by In This Moment. The visually stunning act has returned with an album dripping with a dark energy, wanting to sidle up close, whisper somethings into your ear, then make you fall in love while it bleeds you dry from the fangs in your neck. It’s catchy, and sees a fair return to their earlier offerings like Beautiful Tragedy. The beauty of the Black Widow pales to its deadly grace…
So the holidays are over, the whiskey bottles and cookie crumbs have been swept off the tables, and we are restocking the cabinets for the New Years Eve parties. All is well. Except, hold on, its really not! One only needs to turn on the radio to a “rock station” to know that something sinister has happened. But what, you ask between holiday induced food strokes, could that be??? All I hear is that top 40 R’n’R and some metal! AND THAT’S WHAT’S WRONG. Its not metal. Its… FAKE METAL.

“Sexcastle is a perfect mix of homage and comedy, action and irony, loving tribute and hilarious send-up of the great, good, and ungodly-bad action movies of the ‘80s. I don’t remember the last time a debut book hit me this hard. Literally, this book punched me in the face. It’s THAT mean.” —Matt Fraction
