David Lee Roth: A Little Ain’t Enough (1991) – By Vincent Mento

January 31, 2026
Music Reviews

David Lee Roth’s solo career after leaving Van Halen spawned six albums the first was an interesting EP called Crazy From the Heat (1985) and then the outstanding Eat ‘Em And Smile (1986) and a decent release of Skyscraper (1988) though too keyboard heavy, and in my opinion A Little Ain’t Enough is an overlooked album which…

Diamond Head: Diamond Head (2016) – By Baron Craze

January 31, 2026
Music Reviews

I have heard Diamond Head’s music on and off through the decades, was confused when realizing they did a self-titled release in 2016, 40-years after their creation, for celebrating 50-years of music that influenced so many fitting to review, besides Metallica who was greatly influenced would also put a self-titled release in 1991. It is…

Music Reviews

Honestly, for me every day is Halloween, and a big fan of horror-punk music with this most interesting band hailing from Transylvania County, North Carolina, whose name was inspired from a Roky Erickson song. The band itself is primarily a gothic couple Anders Manga and Devillia, returning for their sixth album, filled with their passion for horror…

Music Reviews

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…

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

August 14, 2023
Music Reviews

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…

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…

Music Reviews

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…

Lita Ford: Lita (1988) Music Review – By Vincent Mento

February 6, 2023
Music Reviews

There was thought, long ago, and perhaps some still exist today with narrow-minded folks primarily record executives decided women couldn’t play hard rock or metal, they were soft and delicate flowers, completely sexist. I’ve always enjoyed musicians who express themselves freely allowing their art to speak for itself, regardless of race or sex, and honestly,…
