Grave Digger: Ballads of a Hangman (2009) Music Review – By Baron Craze

I must admit that I have been a long-time fan of this band, listened to all their albums, nevertheless the group helped me become introduced to other German heavy bands that emerge in the early 80s, along with such acts as Helloween, Running Wild, and Accept, but I still find myself able to review the…


Whitesnake: Lovehunter (1979) Music Review – By Vincent Mento

So, one might wonder how does this fit into the horror realm if at all, well the band’s music has been played in about three productions and David Coverdale lent his voice for another, and the cover-lp artist work was seen in the dark fantasy-sci-fi film Heavy Metal, and it filters back to Deep Purple…


Great White: Twice Shy (1989) Music Review – By Vincent Mento

With Baron and 3C doing the film reviews for the annual Chompfest I kinda felt left out, and since I cannot write film reviews to save my life, it is my kryptonite I thought how could I contribute, and then read about Jack Rusell of Great White passing away – BINGO, of course the band…


Hellripper: Black Arts and Alchemy (2019) – By Baron Craze

If you’re unaware of who and what is Hellripper, take this quick introduction it is James McBain and sheer speed, thrash, black metal with no regrets or lack of blasphemy intensity. This was an EP of his released-on April 5, 2019 through Reaper Metal Productions, coming two years after his stellar ‘Coagulating Darkness’ (2017) and while…


Lita Ford: Dancin’ on the Edge (1984) Music Review – By Vincent Mento

This album really carries me back in my memories hanging out, cruising about enjoying the pleasure of rockin’ metal music, and this was her second record since leaving the mighty Runaways long ago in 1979. As I recall it had a short-lived drummer Randy Castillo who later joined up with Ozzy and some research stated…


Lee Aaron: Tattoo Me (2024) – By Vincent Mento

I must admit I have always been a long-time fan of Lee Aaron’s music, many of the songs bring back incredible memories, over 15-albums a career rocking 40-years that just rocks my world with smiles, a wonderful way to groove life away. She’s really done it all, rock, blues, some metal not like that of…


Cradle of Filth: The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (1994) – By Baron Craze

On February 24, 1994, Cradle of Filth made their mark on the music scene with their studio debut album entitled ‘The Principle of Evil Made Flesh’ on Cacophonous Records; which followed three demos and split with Malediction that ranged from 1991 to 1993. While some mark this as black metal, that isn’t quite correct, yeah, it’s…


Genitorturers: 120 Days of Genitorture (1993) Music Review – By Baron Craze

I normally don’t give warnings to readers when on the subject of music reviews, but this one does recommend that I do just that, and it is NSFW atmosphere, as the subject material is highly sexualized and deemed, well not for the sensitive folks. Hee-hee. Without a doubt Genitortures fulfills the provocative exploits on the…


Vince Neil: Exposed (1993) Music Review – by Vincent Mento

I have always been a fan of the bar bands, especially those that go on to capture huge success, well that would include the band Motley Crue, and this review is gonna need some backstory before going forward. Often bands have a falling out with the bandmates, friends, drinking pals, living for a long time…


Anthrax: Among the Living (1987) Music Review – By Baron Craze

There can be no denying this is a classic thrash metal album, capturing the perfect mosh experience from the opening song you know the ride is in full motion, because this was/is phenomenally good and fun, it was Anthrax’s third major release and their breakthrough one. Those opening chords of the first song, delivering increasing…
