Stuck Mojo trail blazed the rap-rock genre by melding their heavy metal-bred Southern heritage with a frontman (Bonz) who bled hip-hop. Formed in 1989 by guitarist Rich Ward, Stuck Mojo set out to experiment with this genre-blending musical hybrid, inspired by bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Run DMC and Black Sabbath. When Stuck Mojo’s first release, “Snappin’ Necks,” appeared in the mid-90′s via Century Media, they were something of a phenomenon to some and a question mark to others. Daring to be different in a non-socially acceptable way, they challenged the system musically and broke down barriers.

Killswitch Engage are back with their original singer Jesse Leach, and this has caused a lot of controversy among fans. The first two albums released by the band cemented them as the founders of metalcore, and they gained much more popularity during the Howard Jones era, despite having a weak second self-titled album before he left. Now, Killswitch Engage have to win back fans with ‘Disarm the Descent’ – if it’s good, then the fans will stay, but if it isn’t, then the band might as well not stay together. After listening to the album, I’m going to conclude what it’s like now: ‘Disarm the Descent’ practically shits on all of the band’s discography: it’s nothing short of amazing.

This album has EVERYTHING that you could ever want in a metal album: a great intro, a full and varied body, and a capstone that sums up the album as a whole. It’s not exhaustingly long or overwrought with songs that were forced into it to meet a quota to make it an album vs. an EP, and it is interesting enough to keep listening to, allowing you to discover new features to savor as you plow through the tracks again and again.

Madrid, Spain is not necessarily known as a hotbed for alternative rock groups, but that isn’t stopping a bunch of dreamers from there. Everlyn has painted a huge bull’s-eye on the United States and they are looking to hit that musical target with their debut album A Ticket to the Moon. Although the band has toured in Europe extensively for years, as well as putting out a self-released EP, success in the U.S. has eluded them.

Post-Hardcore/Pop-Metal? That’s the odd label that the six-piece Apparitions call themselves, but there’s no real evident genre present in their latest album.
