Electric Wizard have returned with 'Time to Die', their first new album since 2010.
Their astounding eighth album fizzes and crackles with the malevolent energy of a giant black sun blotting out the sky; this is their heaviest album since magnum opus 'Dope Throne' (2000), their most evil since fan favourite 'Come My Fanatics' (1997), and the most acidic and psychedelic of their career to date.
The longstanding colossal yin & yang twin guitar assault of Jus Oborn and Liz Buckingham has been augmented by the temporary return of an old face from the distant past: the original drummer, Mark Greening.
The album was mostly recorded with Liam Watson at Toe Rag studios, East London, but finished off at Skyhammer in deepest, darkest Cheshire by Chris Fielding.
After 21 years of being reality rupturing doom outliers, Electric Wizard are finally getting their dues as one of the all-time great British bands.
Let the enheavyment commence.

Within the confines, or lack thereof, of VOL. 3: (THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES) lies a new level of musicianship, achieved through the hard work poured into supporting their self-titled debut and their subsequent hit album, IOWA. Produced by Rick Rubin, Vol 3 not only captures the band’s strengths to this point- it sees the spore that is Slipknot exploding in all directions. The songs on this daring effort transcend traditional hard music structure, and will surprise the uninitiated with their dynamic appeal. Masterful guitar work, visceral drum beats, and a newly-expanded vocal range are highlights of this work that Corey Taylor (#8) calls "both brutal and beautiful." Much of the creative inspiration in evidence on the new album is owed to Rubin and his reputedly- haunted mansion, in which the band lived while recording VOL. 3: (THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES). "You can really feel (the effect of the mansion) on the album. There were ghosts in the machine, in the equipment! . Things would freeze, things would loop for no reason at all. It was strange," adds Taylor. Paul Gray (#2) comments on what Rubin brought to the table… "Rick brought a huge amount of open mindedness - normally 9 different people trying different things can be tough - Rick got us to just throw all our preconceived notions out the window. He was able to integrate bits and pieces of everyone's ideas."

The first single off VOL. 3: (THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES), "Duality" is, "lyrically, what you might think... we've been through a lot as a band and the lyrics really reflect our maintaining faith and the perseverance of all 9 of us," says Joey Jordison (#1). "Duality" represents the album well in its unwillingness to compromise the band’s rock foundation and its ability to be aurally appealing and melodic at the same time. Other songs of note on the record, "Before I Forget" and "Vermillion" underline the statement made by "Duality", with their dark melodies and fierce instrumentation. "Before I Forget" is about rising above the bull*#!t and being a person, not a human. It's about saying what you mean and meaning what you say - taking zero bull#!*t." adds Taylor, "and Vermillion is a stalker's love song, shot thru his eyes. It's kind of a does he or doesn't he type thing - it's left open for you to decide."

The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance's follow-up to its 2004 platinum major-label debut Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, "is way more dramatic, way more theatrical, completely over the top, borderline psychotic," says Gerard Way. "It's the most pure, intense thing we've ever been involved in." Producer by Rob Cavallo (Green Day), the album is a celebration of lvoe and death and darkness. Join The Black Parade.

在Korn的第二张专辑《Life Is Peachy》中，他们已然提高了自己在金属界的影响力，更加深入钻研黑暗的旋律结构与碾磨，阴险的节奏直率地表达了地下金属的黑暗。Korn加入了足够的alternative rock（另类摇滚）的元素来构建歌曲并使其变得更容易被大众理解，他们的歌曲写作也有相当的进步。然而，乐队的主力是他们愤怒和内在的呐喊，这比他们歌的曲子更加有效的让人挂怀。他们的连复段并不一定总能够牢牢衔接，但是其吉它和主音的配合却总能深深打入人们心

MARILYN MANSON既是一支来自佛罗里达的乐队的名称，又是该乐队主音歌手的名字。　这个来自美国中西部的歌手原名BRIAN WARNER，在俄亥俄州的CANTON度过孩提时代。他从小不和父母同住，向往着有朝一日成为象OZZY OSBOURNE一个的个性英雄。18岁时，移居佛罗里达，在当地的TAMPA湾地区从事音乐评论工作。1989年他化名MANSON，遇到了吉他手SCOTT MITCHELL（真名为SCOTT PUTESKY）这两人一拍即合，彼此发瑞其对南佛里达音乐景象的看法极其相似。根据MANSON在小型谈话节目中得到的经验和由60年代两个著名名词组合而来的名字的启发，他给SCOTT起名DAISY BERKOWITZ，分别来源于公爵DAISY的爵士乐组合和杀手DAVID BERKOWITZ。在贝司手GIDGET GEIN和键盘手MADONNA WAYNE-GRACY加入之后，名为MARILYN MANSON和THE SPOOKY KIDS的乐队正式成立。

《Follow the Leader》是一张效果仍然比得上他们前两张alt-metal专辑的新里程碑。并不是说他们有了新的玩意儿可供聆听，它听起来是同样的声音，但是它引起了比《Life Is Peachy》更加集中的议论，却并没有《Korn》听起来新鲜了。事实上，它在其结尾变得有一点空洞，即使吉它手Head Welch和Munky Shaffer创造一种贯穿全辑的能使专辑保持趣味性的音效，主音Jonathan Davis也几乎完全将他的声音融合到里面去。如果他们自己的歌曲并非遗留这么一种印象，因为他们不是要制造假象--他们只是朴素的传达了金属性的粉碎，这些都是让人肠翻肚乱或者是那些Korn的乐迷们所需要的
