		<description><![CDATA[Spain’s ANGELUS APATRIDA return with The Call, it is their third album for Century Media. Although this thrash quartet has had their issues taking a stranglehold of their native Albacete, they have been slaying Spain, and audience member that stands in their way for years. This has lead them to open up for such groups as SLAYER, and MEGADETH, and their current jaunt with 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, GOATWHORE and HAVOK. They are the only band from Spain (in any genre) that can currently tour Europe, and I don’t mean a few dates in spread out here and there, check out the itinerary for the aforementioned tour that they’re currently a part of, and you’ll see that they’ll be all over the old continent during the next few months. There is a reason why the legendary David Ellefeson pulled the band aside, and encouraged them to take their talents stateside, as US audiences would without a doubt eat up what the band has to offer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a long and winding road for SHADOWS FALL over the course of seventeen years as a band. Alternately they have been up and coming in the underground, a next level breakout band, critics darlings and relegated to the middle of the pack by people who supposedly know what is cool. The fact is the band has always been supremely talented, as much as any metal band can be. Depending on how they channel their energies, that is the music you get on a given album. Armed with new music, a new label (Razor &#38; Tie) and a fresh start in many other ways, the band has turned in one of the heaviest albums of their career and certainly their best since 2004's The War Within.]]></description>

That sentence is Cattle Decapitation’s newest album Monolith Of Inhumanity in a nutshell. They’ve come a (very) long ways from the earlier days of Humanure and Karma. Bloody. Karma. by a long shot.

		<description><![CDATA[While singers that play acoustic guitar are a dime a dozen these days and most of them are terrible BOB DYLAN wannabees, occasionally a real artist comes along and surprises you. Of course there is nothing typical about Nate Hall and A Great River.  It's not like the music you've heard on line at your favorite, $7 a late joint or coffee shop. Hall is the front man of USX (a.k.a US CHRISTMAS) and is no stranger to the solo guitar and voice as a vehicle of expression. Although USX is known for their harrowing psychedelic jams, both the band and HALL have performed stripped down of late. Here we see the master of song craft with little at his disposal beyond the six string, a few effects, his potent lyrics and pained voice to convey his feelings. The entire album was recorded in one sitting one night last year as HALL told Metal Army in an interview not too long ago.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We don't often discuss mainstream institutions here at Metal Army such as QUEEN. Usually bands of that stature get mentioned in interviews as an influence to many, but few have to explain why. You can hear their vast influence in metal today from artists as varied as DEVIN TOWNSEND, OPETH, IHSAHN, KYNG, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, YAKUZA, JUNIUS, USX, THE ATLAS MOTH, PARADISE LOST, ARCH ENEMY, DREAM THEATER, ICED EARTH and many others. They are so ingrained in the culture of music fans that even casual music fans can name five or six songs by the band. Matt O’Casey's documentary Queen: Days of Our Lives recounts the their history from their earliest beginnings to their enduring legacy as on of their generation. Metal Army was privileged to participate in the TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL for a second year in a row, where the festival held a sold-out screening in late April.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metal heads tend to be some of the most open minded fans of music I have ever met (except for you elitist hipster fucks). I might not have believed it in my younger days when I was even more cynical than I am now, had you told me about all of the successful sub-genres of metal. Not just because I didn't think it was possible, but the two guitar band/ lead singer format has been so endearing to music lovers since the inception of rock music. Still, new bands and their little fiefdom’s of fans are coming along every day and people are enthusiastically repping them. More often then not it is more about the way a band combines influences of sub-genres, rather than invents a new one from scratch. Such as the case with New York City's HUNG, who shows off their considerable talents on their debut album.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am fairly certain that about 70% of my reviews this year have been from super-groups. Some of them were in face super and some were okay. Some were not. Tossing their hat in the ring like The Avengers is BEREFT who's members certainly live up to the superlatives part, at least on paper. Sacha Dunable (INTRONAUT/GRAVITON), Derek Donley (NATION SUNDAY LAW/GRAVITON), Charles Elliott (ABYSMAL DAWN) and Derek Rydquist (ex-THE FACELESS) have come together to make a unique concept record to say the least. This impactful, experimental Los Angeles-based doom project is all about two different ancient death rituals. It turns out the music is as heavy as the subject matter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year when Metal Army interviewed Thérèse Lanz of MARES OF THRACE, she talked about how the band lives to injure people with sound waves and disturb them with visuals. On their much anticipated new album, The Pilgrimage (Sonic Unyon Metal), the band manages to do both to the nth degree and they do it all with music. If you thought 2010's The Moulting was a brutally hard mind fuck, you have no idea what kind of sonic terror and delight awaits you on their new opus. It's not hard to place a value on the talent of a group who goes out and tops their last album easily, yet builds on their unique sound without compromising one iota. Impressive.]]></description>
