It could be said that there is already enough music made that you could never run out of old stuff to listen to, never mind trying to catch up with all that is new.

Heavy Metal Chris recounts some of his favorite metal moments from 2012--like Chicken Man at MDF! Love it!
Patricia Thomas manages several bands I like. Here’s some news from one.

Its lyrics paint powerful, emotional landscapes and its song structures demonstrate complex and technical character, but in the end, the unbridled sound throws its listeners to the ground in a sweaty heap. Metalcore, deathcore and their crusty cousins, hardcore …
