I bought the debut KISS record on my 10th birthday in 1974. That was the beginning of the end, so to speak. I began my journalism career in high school, writing music reviews for the school paper. Years later, I would begin writing for a local music magazine in San Francisco, and eventually become its editor. In 2008, I started writing for and eventually bought Metalholic Magazine, and a decade later I have merged it into Metal Nation. Now you're all screwed =) United We Rock!

In an era when thousands of new bands emerge every year recording music that is often mediocre at best, it can be difficult to find the flowers among the weeds. Fortunately, with a little good fortune and friendly guidance, I discovered Los…

Alcatrazz – Born Innocent Label: Silver Lining Music Release Date: July 31, 2020 The 80s remain the quintessential decade for heavy metal. While it began in earnest in the late 70s, and continues to grow and evolve today, that 10-year…

WILDERUN Interview: Evan Berry Lifts the Veil of Imagination

Rustyn Rose Jul 24, 2020 0
One of my favorite discoveries of the last year has been Boston's Wilderun. The band's self-released its third album, Veil of Imagination in November 2019, and despite the late hour still landed on many year end lists. The group ignited an…
