Lethal Saint - Breakout (Hittman Cover)

We came across a video by one our new favorite bands, Lethal Saint, recently.  They offer up a pretty impressive cover of Hittman's Breakout.   Lethal Saint scores high points with us for pulling out such an obscure cover when most bands are afraid to tip their hats to underground artists.  In our opinion, the band compares favorably to Pittsburgh's legendary Axtion.  

Let us know what you think of this heavy metal band from Cyprus. Read the complete Lethal Saint - Breakout (Hittman Cover) review...

The Dogma is an Italian band whom we first reviewed of about 7 years ago.  Their brand of symphonic metal at the time recalled Rage for Order era Queensryche.  Now, the Dogma has taken on a darker, ever so slightly gothic metal approach with their latest release Black Widow.  Dirty Dark Diane is their latest video and features the gorgeous Sophie Cirlig.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra has come a long way from playing the small theaters and select (but sold out) dates that started things off just five years ago. With three stellar albums to date and more to come, the unprecedented blend of hard rock and orchestrated Christmas favorites can now be found in live performances from two touring companies packing arena-sized houses across the United States from Thanksgiving to New Year’s.

Tate, Geoff - Pittsburgh, PA 7/13/2002

Tag: Concert Reviews, Heavy Metal, Progressive Metal

Appropriately, Geoff Tate’s solo touring band featured all of the musicians from his new Sanctuary release. C. Fox, Scott Moughton, Evan Schiller, Howard Chilcott, and Jeff Carrell to be exact. Everyone but the Cello player, Tate jokes.

Prior to the start of the tour Tate told TPRS.com that he was "very anxious to go on tour this summer, and really looking forward to it.” Read the complete Tate, Geoff - Pittsburgh, PA 7/13/2002 review...

Black Label Society - 1919 Eternal

Tag: Heavy Metal, Music Reviews

There is no questioning of the talent of guitarist Zakk Wylde as he showcases the evolution of the Black Label Society with the band’s third album. The opening track “Bleed For Me” is reason enough to get this album, it’s strong, it’s heavy, it’s everything that Black Label stands for.
