KAMELOT are one of metal’s most unique, influential and prestigious acts that blends symphonic metal, prog, power metal and world music – so it comes as little surprise that the whole metal world held its breath in anticipation of The Shadow Theory!

With KAMELOT there truly is “no... 

It was in the first few moments of “Beyond Death” that I thought “Hey, this vocalist sounds like the guy from Cloak.” Surprisingly, I was right. Before Cloak debuted their album last year, guitarist/vocalist Scott Taysom was a part of Haunting, a lawless and short-lived death metal group in Atlanta, Georgia. Only releasing a single demo, Sealed Shut, the band made their sound very clear in four tracks, clocking in just over 11 minutes. Though defunct, Haunting are getting some post-mortem love from Boris Records.

As they gear up for the first tour in support of their ninth studio album, Kingdoms Disdained, it’s safe to say that Morbid Angel is back on track. Though the current line-up is almost entirely different from their previous studio effort, the band’s fan base were more than excited when it was revealed that former bassist and vocalist Steve Tucker would be rejoining the band to write a “death metal” album. Flash forward nearly three years, the album’s out, and a tour is quickly approaching. We got the chance to talk with Tucker for a few minutes, asking questions concerning the new album, the current vibe in the Morbid Angel camp, and bands touring full albums for their anniversary.

I’m rather vocal about how much rock music today is lacking. With a lack of forward momentum and the sound of the genre becoming stagnant, most bands tend to lean towards being a pop act. I did a whole article on this, but in that observation Monster Magnet wasn’t mentioned once. For good reason, Monster Magnet are a rock band from the NJ area that are now boasting twelve albums, ranging from catchy hard rock to 70’s inspired stoner rock. Breaking form the mold and going about the genre in a passionate manner is the most genuine way to write music, and upon seeing the band live, you can easily tell just how much love goes into performing to a room full of fans in front of them. There’s no veil separating...
