Live Listen Erased

Chilli has risen! Youtube comment sections can be an interesting minefield. Most of my videos are fine but from time to time we get an odd comment that needs addressing. Here is the response.

Back some 30 years ago metal music was in a decline but a little band from Tampa, Florida had other ideas and decided to turn their frustrations and anger into a relentless metal record. This Retro Review focuses on Iced Earth's album Burnt Offerings for its 30th anniversary so enjoy.

After a 19 year hiatus TISM are back and with a new album...that came out last year...Ok so I missed the news when this dropped but here is my review on the long awaited new album by TISM

The worst kept secret is out now for us to listen to on Sptofiy so what does The Mars Volta's newest album sound like? Tune in to hear my thoughts about this oddity

Well you can't keep Elton away from the piano and not even retirement will stop him. On this episode we take a look at his newest album with Brandi Carlile and discuss if he still has it or not.

Santana is work horse who is always one to keep an eye out for but when it comes to this latest album it left me scratching my head. After all this was a bunch of songs that were outtakes that were remastered and if they weren't released already were they any good to begin with? Would the touch ups work their magic? Tune in to hear my thoughts on this new album.

I may not be well versed in Lacuna Coil's songs but I know who they are. Also I did see them live and they were pretty damn good. So with the new album it's probably a good idea to check them out. Tune in for my review on the bands latest record.

When New Zealand make metal you better listen and Alien Weaponary's newest album is their best to date. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this record

We all remember a time when The Darkness made a splash on the scene with glitter spandex playing high energy rockin tunes right? Well their latest album is a little different. Tune in to hear my thoughts on the bands eights album

What if I told you there was three degree seperation between Paul Rogers from Bad Company fame and The Matrix trilogy and this band is the red pill? Well it has been 19 years but Boa have finally released a follow up album so how does it sound? Tune in to hear my thoughts

Well this is well overdue...the EP dropped last year after all. Well better late than never - tune in to hear my thoughts on the latest from the Vada movement and The Garden

Are you looking for a new prog rock group to sink your teeth in? Well do I have a band you should check out. Cheat The Prophet brings elements of other bands such as Porcupine Tree or Marillion into the fold with their own style and touch on their debut album. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this album

Cradle Of Filth have been around the block for some 30 odd years playing their style of music but in all honesty - I've never listened to an entire album by the band. Their music always intrigued my though and Dani has some signature pipes on him so this is my review on their latest album.

Blackheaven certainly has earned a reputation within the community but that tends to happen when you become a success in an otherwise small field and with the rise of the Black Metal genre, a style that is very extreme, in recent years it was no surprise that a more accessible band kind of serves as a stepping stone. Anyway their latest effort is amazing and really doesn't hold back on any punches. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this new album

Well there is no beating around the bush here - this album sucks. Anyway tune in to hear my thoughts on the new direction change from Underoath

By the time Silverchair had hit the stage gunge was dead - or so they thought. Kurt had passed a year earlier and with it we started to see a shift in musical styles, except for the small town of Newcastle, who were going to see a high school band help shape the Australian music scene for years to come. On this episode of Retro Reviews we take a look at Frogstomp...

Queens Of The Stone Age had made a massive breakthrough with their album Songs For the Deaf utilising musicians such as Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) but by the time they were gearing up for their fourth album it was almost like they had fallen apart, with Josh even contemplating splitting up the band. In this episode we discuss the issues of Nick Oliveri's departure from the band, finding replacement members, which song was recorded in one take, and which song was was used on every single DVD made in the South East Asia region. Tune in for this episode of Retro Reviews as we focus on the 20th anniversary of Lullabies To Paralyze. #QOTSA #queensofthestoneage #joshhomme #livelistenerased #retroreview

I was excited to hear the latest album by Steven Wilson especially when I heard it only contained 2 tracks that were 20 minutes a piece and returned to hi prog rock roots....what a mistake that was. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this record.

It's about time we heard a new album by Coheed And Cambria...Vaxis Act 3 is the third instalment in this series of their albums and shows a more mature and grounded lyrics on this album compared to others. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this new record by the band.

I think its safe to say from the thumbnail this is not the album to convince me that the arena core genre is a worthy genre to invest my time in. Anyway hear my thoughts on this album, or don't, whatever...it's a free world
