Local Review: Invisible Rays – Black Hole Dynamo
Invisible Rays Black Hole Dynamo Shit Hot Records Invisible Rays = Melvins + War of the Worlds + Thee Soda Jerks Invisible Rays, formed from members of Ogden nemeses The Debonairs and The Igniters, strip down to drums, keyboards and bass; nakedly harking back to a dirtier, dronier version of Girls Against Boys mixed
Local Review: Ryan Boud – Falling Stars
Ryan Bound Falling Stars Ryan Boud = Jade Tree + acoustic guitar + Gathering Osiris Ryan Boud probably wants to be signed, but he already sounds like he’s on a label—the packaging, production and delivery of his music is pretty much Pollyanna perfect.

Review: Napalm Death -Leaders Not Followers: Part 2
Napalm Death Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 Century Media Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 is Napalm Death’s follow-up, believe it or not, to their 2000 release Leaders Not Followers.

Review: Slayer – DVD Still Reigning
Slayer DVD Still Reigning American Slayer has been putting out records for 21 years now. In that time they’ve released eight studio albums of original music, including a little gem named Reign In Blood (1986).

Review: Leaves’ Eyes – Lovelorn
Leaves’ Eyes Lovelorn Napalm Records Theatre Of Tragedy vocalist Liv Kristine Espenaes is backed by the band Atrocity for the formation and debut of Leaves’ Eyes, Lovelorn.

KIKO NAVARRO FT. MARCEL “M.U.S.I.C.” (Bubble Soul Re-Edits Volume 1.) = (Jay-J/Marquez/David Gomez/DJ Pippi) Bubble Soul Records Pachas’ very own Kiko Navarro, doing it again. Featuring the words of Marcel, “Music” is by far one of the choicest spoken-word tracks to date! Varying from each mix, this 3-tracker carries organ stabs and synth sweeps

Review: Louie Vega – Africa/Brasil
LOUIE VEGA “AFRICA/BRASIL” Vega/Maw Records Originally released on Louie Vega “Elements of Life” recordings, these unreleased mixes will definitely make it into your bag. Re-invented in a techy and raw groove by German producer Isolee, “Africa/Brasil” has never seen better treatment. Overlaying the whirling and clicking rhythms of the original version’s vocals and chants;
