Thanks' to my wonderful wife,  I have new music I would have never know existed...  This is for you baby....

Music Review #12: Warning: Ear's Might Bleed......

There is nothing that will wake you up faster in the morning then some damn brutal metal, and The Acacaia Strain brings it super hard!

So, lets get into it.

The first track is named."Beast" and frankly that is the best damn way to described this monster heavy track.  "BTM FDR" is one of my favorite tracks on the album and only three tracks in I am thinking they cant top this so, but the very next song, "Ramirez" just brings you back to ah and amazement.  They keep the metal heavy right into "Terminated" with huge double bass and ultra heavy guitars.  My second favorite and I think the best track on the album is "The Carpathian".  If you hear any song off this album, this is the one to let you know what you will be getting yourself into.

Final Summation:  5/5 because there are so many metal bands wussing out and with three records under there belts they still bring it!!

Favorite Tracks:  The Beast, BMT FDR, Impler and The Carpathian.

Music Review #11: Keeping Me Speechless.....

I will try to keep this as biases as humanly possible but Norma Jean is one not if my favorite metal bands so I'll do my best to keep this level.  Meridional is the fifth studio album from this christian metal powerhouse and they have done it once again.  I know that Norma Jean lost a lot of credibility from the albums Redeemer and The Anti- Mother but this is so back to the roots of Oh God, The Aftermath (I think) that they are back, but I never thought they had left since I have fallen in love with the other two records.  So let's jump into this epic masterpiece...

The opening track "Leaderless and Self Enlisted" let you know the caliber of musicianship you are going to get from the get go.  Yes, it might sound a bit different from the other albums, but since there are only two original members, there should be change.  "Bastardizer" is another song that just grabs you and tears you limb from limb.  It's hard for me to pick the parts I don't enjoy of this record because there really is not anything I don't enjoy, except that its kinda short, just over a hour is not enough!!! 

In Summation:  5/5 because this is a solid record and well.. its just epic all around....

Favorite Tracks: A Media Friendly Turn For The Worse, Blood Runner, High Noise Low Output
