In one of the first posthumous albums released after Chester Bennington’s passing, Grey Daze puts a new spin on old Chester vocals. How did they do? See below. “No one ever really dies as long as they are loved.” – James O’Barr, December 2010 Embracing the colossal task of a posthumous release is an incredibly […]
Tētēma‘s brilliant Necroscape wows in its artistic complexity. Read our full review below. Mike Patton is an immensely talented dude, but anyone familiar with his work across his numerous bands and projects (and there are a lot…) knows there’s a brand of mercurial eccentricity that he brings to the table no matter what endeavor he’s […]
After 13 long years, the wait is finally over… but was it worth it? We review Tool’s Fear Inoculum. Tool’s newest album Fear Inoculum just came out on Friday, August 30. Upon first listening, it felt far different from their past pieces. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but I’m sure it made a handful of die-hard […]

Who’s ready for a road trip? The new Gorillaz album The Now Now is the perfect soundtrack for travel. One can tell from titles such as “Magic City”, “Lake Zurich”, and “Hollywood” that there is a dedicated focus on adventure for this established British band. Many lyrics speak about being in dazzling or beautiful places, seeing interesting things and […]
If there ever was a more appropriate description for the music of Bret Autrey’s Blue Stahli, it would have to be the easiest: fun.
