November popped up a few more noteworthy hard rock and heavy metal releases for 2011. The most important being Megadeth of course. Dave Mustaine is still making great music after all of these years. The Lou Reed and Metallica project, Lulu, is a so-so side project and Steel Panther’s sophomore release Balls Out is a good […]

Charred Walls doesn’t break any new metal ground, but sticks to the basics of operatic vocals and thrashy riffage. 2. Vomitron – No NES for the Wicked: This […]
