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

September 20, 2024
Music Reviews

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…

Music Reviews

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…

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

July 15, 2024
Music Reviews

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…

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…

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.

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…

Music Reviews

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

August 14, 2023
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,…

It’s sometimes a lot of fun to return to a previous era, reminisce about past memories, enjoyable laughs, what really helps that is music, one can know the year, the sound, so when I saw this album on Baron’s private list of reviewable albums, I jumped at the chance for this one. Let me see…
