Album/EP Reviews
Album Review: Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway – Dictator (Scarred for Life)
It’s been over ten years since the last Scars on Broadway album and with no System of a Down music on the horizon it falls to the ‘side-project’ to give fans what they want even if it is effectively diet-System. A line-up and name change is the least of the problems with Dictator.

Album Review: Motorowl – Atlas (Century Media Records)
With influences spanning from Black Sabbath and early Pentagram to German kraut rock veterans like Kraan and Guru Guru up to Russian Circles, Baroness and the magnum opus of Opeth mastermind Mikael Åkerfeldt. The East German-based psychedelic doom powerhouse of Motorowl blend of imposing heaviness, deep harmonies and stirring atmospheres means their new album ‘Atlas’ is a highly anticipated release. Out on July 27th 2018 via Century Media Records.
