Coldsteel: Old School New York Thrashers Ret ..Filed under: News , Interview Troy Norr Although most of the heavy metal community never got to know Coldsteel during their original run in the late '80s/early '90s, the band is still cherished by a small yet loyal circle of cultists throughout the globe. Formed on New York's Long Island in 1986, Coldsteel would eventually become one of the Tri-State area's most promising acts of the nascent thrash scene of the period. The quintet would eventually release a demo in 1989 called Dead by Dawn that garnered excellent write-ups in the key metal magazines of the day. In ...Noisecreep14 May 2012

Maryann Cotton-Free Falling AngelsPure Steel Records 2012 "Free Falling Angels" is the full-length debut album from Maryann Cotton. For those of you not familiar with the name (which would probably be most people outside of Europe I'd wager) his career was launched in 2006 when he performed live on the Danish TV program "Scenen Er Din" (the Danish version of "Star Search"). Now, despite the fact that Maryann Cotton sounds an awful lot like the unknown son of Alice Cooper the two of them are unrelated. So, this isn't a case of some illegitimate child finding fame in his real father ...Heavy Metal Time Machine7 May 2012

Hexen-Being And NothingPulverised 2012 I wasn't sure what to expect with Hexen. Sure, the name sounded familiar. Before doing a search though I gave the album a listen. After a rather timid piano opening Hexen starts off into this almost groove based rocker. Ok. Well, so far not so good. At this point I am not too hopeful. Thankfully things pick up. The sound is partway between thrash and neoclassical speed. They call it progressive thrash though. It's certainly heavy and crunchy enough and yet it sounds very technical and classical. I sort of imagine this is what it would ...Heavy Metal Time Machine5 May 2012

Interview: Natur on cryptids, totems and deb ..Partying, camping by the beach, hiking, fishing, smoking weed in graveyards, jamming King Diamond and Manilla Road: Natur had the sort of gnarly Rhode Island upbringing that all us city-bred shmucks can only envy. But it’s not only a healthy way to spend your adolescence, as Natur’s sticksman and designated spokesman, Tooth, can attest to, [...]The Daily Rock1 May 2012

Huntress-Spell EaterNapalm Records 2012 Observant readers might recall that a month or so ago (March 22, 2012 to be precise) I did a write-up on Huntress and their "Eight of Swords" single. At the time I did wonder to myself if the band would prove to be anything more substantial than all the hype that surrounded the group's hot singer. After all, one good song does not an album make. Since that time two things happened though to change my mind and, as a result, get me truly excited to hear the whole album. The first is "Spell Eater". Or ...Heavy Metal Time Machine27 April 2012

Forgotten Gems: Leather-Shock WavesLeviathan Records 1989 Leather Leone is sadly not a name you hear mentioned much anymore. Despite fronting Ohio's Chastain through the eighties (and in the process helping to create some of heavy metal's top albums) she is often forgotten when discussions turn to metal's top singers. Even in Chastain itself it seemed as if she was overshadowed by the skills of guitarist David Chastain. One could certainly make the argument that Chastain's early albums would not have had the impact they did if not for Leather's distinctive voice. That isn't to say that David ...Heavy Metal Time Machine24 April 2012
