Phinehas’ latest EP The Bridge Between features an interesting mix of rearranged works from their previous albums and a couple new tracks. Some of these are pretty great, like the heavily thrashed out “Panhammer” (originally from 2009′s The Phinehas EP) while others are somewhat puzzling, such as the acoustic version of “A Pattern in Pain” (which debuted on 2011′s thegodmachine album) or just plain bad *cough* “Enkindler” *cough*

A Sound of Thunder seemed to come out of nowhere in 2012 with their album Out of the Darkness. Even though the band had been busting their musical chops since 2008 as the personal pieces of the puzzle began to come together, it was their 2012 release that caught people’s attention. That album seemed to fill a void in metal fans that had been missing in today’s flavor of the week market. Songs such as “Murderous Horde” and the tongue-in-cheek “Kill That Bitch”, along with great videos to accompany them, seemed to strike a chord with many metal lovers.

Hell or Highwater, the Orange County rock band founded by Atreyu’s Brandon Saller, is the project that keeps Saller stimulated and creative. They tore apart the UPROAR Festival this past summer, and this year they continue building on that momentum, as they tour alongside The Darkness. RockRevolt Magazine was fortunate to squeeze in a quick interview with Brandon while he pushes forward on the last leg of this tour.

Did you ever run across a band that you just couldn’t put your finger on a way to truly describe their sound? Almost to the point that it starts an argument amongst other people who have heard of the band yet can’t describe them either? Alice Sweet Alice is a prime example of a band sounding familiar, yet they don’t sound like anything you have ever heard before. I know that may sound confusing, but after one listen of their CD Mandala, I think you just might agree.

We heard it, reviewed it, and had to have some more of it. Tomahawk’s latest release, Oddfellows, comes out January 29th. It is a record that had a long time coming, and joyous are we to finally get our just rewards for our patience. Oddfellows – an album that I likened to what sex should be: fucking good.

And because we were so in love with this album, we followed up with an interview with the super group’s ultimate master basser, Trevor Dunn.

This year, the third annual Monster Energy’s Welcome To Rockville expands to two days-April 27 & 28, 2013-at Jacksonville’s scenic Metropolitan Park along the beautiful St. Johns River.

Promising to be raw, emotional and interactive, Justin Furstenfeld, vocalist/songwriter/guitarist for the Platinum-selling rock band Blue October, will kick off a 24-date solo/acoustic tour “An Open Book: An Evening With Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October” on April 4 at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA. The shows, all presented in intimate settings, will consist of spoken word, a Q&A session, and an acoustic set of songs never before heard, as well as stripped down and softer versions of Blue October fan-favorites.

Their self-titled debut album, Sunflower Dead, was released last August. It’s an eleven song package of metal and melodic rock that catches the ear and rocks the soul. It’s an album of many layers. The riffs are heavy and in abundance, the grooves are catchy and the songs are infectious. If you throw in the addition of piano as well as the unconventional accordion, then you begin to see the layers take shape. Lead singer Michael Del Pizzo sat down with us to discuss the concept of Sunflower Dead, both musically and visually.

2013 already has new entries in that ever growing genre of metalcore. I Call You Legion have just thrown their hats into the musical ring by unleashing their self-titled debut EP onto the world.

America’s premier destination rock festival Rock On The Range-which has expanded to three days this year-will hit hard with performances from some of rock’s biggest names.

Blissful psychedelic hippie oriental electronic experimental pop music. Yes, this is quite a handful to spill from your mouths, but this is exactly what the duo The Glass Canoe have done with their most recent album Through Lianas. It takes your mind on a trip at first, making you think, “What the hell is this?” but once that’s over and done with, the album is essentially a sonic masterpiece.

With Atreyu on what is seemingly an indefinite hiatus and with none of these “Surprise, we’re back” tours that always spread like a plague amongst bands that just can’t call it quits, drummer Brandon Saller has gone out on his own and created new band: Hell or Highwater. They’ve taken what his previous band started, and rocktified the shit out of it on debut album Begin Again.

Love & Death, the new band led by former Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch, will release its debut album “Between Here & Lost” tomorrow January 22nd via Tooth & Nail Records.

In perusing Spoken’s press release, it states that the band’s latest and greatest release, Illusion, “is an exercise in aggression and calculated fragility. Laced with testosterone, the album throws down with the elite of metal and hardcore in calculated moments of heaviness. But what makes this record distinctive is not its speedy riffage or its pounding beats, but its emotional candor.”
