THE AMITY AFFLICTION Interview: Joel Gets Real About Organized Religion

Neeka Rogers Apr 22, 2026

Many bands are no stranger to struggles on and off the road. It is hard work, it is hard on families, and it can be hard on the band as a whole. I have always said bands are like marriages, most spend more time with bandmates than their…

Album Review: GRIEF COLLECTOR – The Death of All Dreams

Neeka Rogers Apr 21, 2026

Some metal genres I have been a fan of for a very long time. At one point in life, I was almost exclusively listening to doom/sludge metal and stoner rock. It spoke to my soul all those years, and even with listening to a much wider range…

Concert Review: SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL Rips The Complex to Shreds

Neeka Rogers Apr 7, 2026

Concert nights are my favorite nights. They are the best date nights, best stress-reliever nights, and the best birthday gifts, which is what this was for my son, who was turning 18. Being able to share a memory through music is one of the…

CROWBAR Interview: Kirk and The Social Media Phenomenon

Neeka Rogers Apr 7, 2026

Sludge/doom metal has had a big influence on this writer over the years. It was something I listened to almost solely for years, and Crowbar was and is one of those bands. I have recently heard much of the younger generation talk more and…

BIOHAZARD Interview: From Biohazard to Whole Health
