Papa Roach is back! With a new album titled F.E.A.R. (Face Everything and Rise) which is scheduled to be released on January 27th, 2015. Metal Machine got the chance to discuss the new album with guitarist Jerry Horton, along with the past history of the band. Although the album marks 22 years of Papa Roach, Horton insists the band views it more as “acknowledging 15 years of Infest.” With the album being a celebration of the success Papa Roach has found in the last 15 years, we wanted to take a road down memory lane with Jerry.

Recently, I was lucky enough to find myself privy to a few super low number releases through a boutique, handmade, small business label, STB Records. Steve Macioci, who I have had a few extremely cool emails with, is a one man wonderfactory behind the limited editions, and has handled such giants as: the newest Geezer album Gage, Curse the Son’s Psychache, Red Wizard, Lightsabres, Goya, and a slew of other well known and underground bands. He creates vinyl works of art through the wax medium, brings the essence of the artist’s expression to life with the packaging and attitude with which he approaches every release. Tonight, I have the pleasure of reviewing, before any streaming services or official releases,...
“Sun Eater” is the fourth full-length album from Job for a Cowboy, and was released last week via Metal Blade Records worldwide. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with Decibel Magazine conceding and saying “Fuck it, I can admit when I’m wrong… Turns out that, while I was busy pointedly not paying attention to them, these deathcore progenitors actually became a pretty damn good band.” Alternative Press Magazine also declared in their 4.5/5 star review that “they’ve become a full-on progressive death metal band…the songs have progressive sweep and epic power, at times recalling Opeth’s heavier work…Sun Eater is one of 2014’s best metal albums, period.”...

With the release of BARING TEETH‘s blistering Ghost Chorus Among Old Ruins full-length now less than one week away, today Revolver Magazine offers up a stream of the release in its entirety. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, BARING TEETH spews forth an immersive, compelling, and wholly haunting brand of audio sickness fusing seemingly conflicting attributes — streamlined songwriting and dizzying technicality, ambience and brute force, density and angularity, order and chaos — into a fully realized, cohesive listening excursion.
