Trench reviews Into the Wild Life by Halestorm
I don’t want to overhype this but Into The Wild Life is the best Halestorm album so far. It is their heaviest album by far and a little more dark than previous albums. Even the ballads are heavy. Now I’m not talking about sacrificing babies in satanic rituals dark but the album has just enough…

Trench reviews The Strange Case Of… by Halestorm
I’ve been a huge fan of Halestorm since I saw them at the Uproar Festival in 2010. I loved their debut album, I thought it was almost flawless. I bought the ReAnimate EP when it came out and was amazed at how they could take some crappy songs and make them into amazing covers. I…

Ripper to front Dio Disciples
Previously I posted about how that Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens was going to record previously unrecorded material from the late metal god Ronnie James Dio. And I basically had a metalgasm when that was announced. Now I’ve had another one on the news that Ripper will be fronting a band along with Rudy Sarzo, Simon Wright,…

Word has it that a tribute album to the late metal god Ronnie James Dio will contain some big names. How big you may ask? How’s this for big? Rob Halford, Dave Grohl, Glenn Hughes, Alice Cooper, Chris Jericho, and Lemmy. Does it really get any bigger than that? A tribute worthy of the true…
