		<title>DeadStar Assembly Coat of Arms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Jorden Rex
Staff Writer
There has been a trend over the last few years in music that has become increasingly annoying as bands have employed it ad nauseum; that is, having “heavy” shouting vocals, usually during the verses, and then singing the choruses with very earnest clean vocals. DeadStar Assembly uses this tactic, like everyone else [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heidevolk Uit Oude Grond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Trevor Portz
Staff Writer
Pagan metal really seems to be the en vogue style of the day. Hordes of bands are donning their ren-fair garb, overfilling their drinking horns, and stringing up their lutes to celebrate the plague-filled days of yore, albeit with a modern metal twist. With so many like-minded groups attempting to cash-in on [...]]]></description>

Staff Writer
&#8220;Melodic Death Metal&#8221; is a strange description that seems to get slapped on a lot of bands (whether by the band itself or by outsiders). Traditionally associated with groups like Carcass and Amorphis, it seems to have grown to encompass pretty much every band that is afraid to be called Metalcore, despite [...]]]></description>

Satyricon has never been the fastest, most aggressive Black Metal band around. They have shown that they are capable of it with their cover of Sarcofago’s “INRI” on their 1999 EP Intermezzo II and much of the Rebel Extravaganza album (also from 1999), among others. However, the last two albums Satyricon has released [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Trevor Portz
Staff Writer
Current recording technologies—from auto-tune to elastic audio—have had an interesting effect on the record industry. With a little patience, and [very] little talent, pretty much anyone with a guitar can make a fantastically perfect-sounding album. What can&#8217;t be digitally altered, though, is lack of creativity. Restore the Balance, the new full-length from [...]]]></description>

If it wasn’t for Europe, the entire Metal genre would be one boring arena. While America recycles Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage and Avenged Sevenfold clones, Europe instead gives us bands like Norway’s Aspera.
