RIP Fast Eddie
Today marks the death of the last original Motorhead member.

Just reminding you to raise a beer and blast these immortal riffs in honor of Fast Eddie and the boys.

Stoner Doom
Old school style Sabbath/Pentagram worshippin' doom. Do I hear Jimi somewhere in the mix?

Derivative but awesome.

Extreme Power Metal
An unpretentious mix of DragonForce, Amon Amarth and mid-career Ensiferum.

Extreme power metal done right.

Melodeath
Not reinventing any wheels here, just a wide variety of different takes on melodic-extreme metal combined into a homogenous, well executed mixture.

Heavy Metal
You know what? This was a hard album to grow attached to. While it may not contain instantaneously infectious 3 Inches' anthem classics like "Deadly Sinners", "Trial Of Champions" or "Battles And Brotherhood", you'll find tracks like "Dark Messenger", "4000 Torches", "Leave It On The Ice" and "Men Of Fortune" still cram-packed with great riffs, which is, at their core, what this band is all about.

Excuse the fanboy moment.

Melodic Black Metal
Catchy Euro Power metal meets raging wall-of-sound black metal? Yes please.

Here's a taste.

Black Metal
No funny stuff. Just black metal with a face-vs-brick-wall type impact. Unbelievably loud & crushing.

Get it?

Jazz Prog
There's not a lot of "funky" metal out there these days that doesn't sound like crap. Here's a great prog album that is as much jazz as it is metal.

Blackened Heavy Metal
Catchy heavy metal with a rough, razor-sharp black metal edge. A big thumbs up for those who love a little raw aggression in their melodic metal.
