Artist: Doomsday Refreshment Committee
Album: Hail To The Freaks
Label: Digivirus
Website: hailtothefreaks.com or vampirefreaks.com/drc
Ok, so this album is not even close to new. It came out in 2007. But one of the things we strive for at HTP is to promote indie bands, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Not only that, but the album is [...]

Artist: Ventana
Album: American Survival Guide Vol. 1
Label: Trustkill
Release: October 6, 2009
Website: www.myspace.com/ventanaband
Ventana is a chaotic mashup of genres and influences which mesh together haphazardly, all at once assaulting the senses and leaving you wanting more. Truly artistic, this band defies pigeonholing and labeling, slipping through your fingers as you attempt to classify them.
Involved in Ventana [...]

Artist: Kittie
Album: In The Black
Label: E1 Music
Website: kittierocks.com
The fifth album from the all female metal legends Kittie came out in stores yesterday, and I have to say I am disappointed. All signs point to the fact that inspirationally their music is suffering. From a short album to uninspired songwriting, this is not their [...]

Remember GWAR? You know, the alien invaders who sing about injecting dinosaur eggs with crack and the ensuing chaos once it hatches? Well, I hadn’t thought about them in years, but they are still alive and going strong. In fact, their latest album, Lust In Space debuted at number 96 on the Billboard Top 200, [...]

I’ve noticed something recently, which kind of took me by surprise. Somehow, quietly, heavy metal has become mainstream. No longer are we the bastard children of the music industry. I remember talk for a long time that rap would always be more mainstream than metal, but not anymore.
Don’t believe me? Go watch any non-chick flick [...]
