By Mike Ennis Megadeth: Cryptic WritingsAs far as an older metal group coming back, Megadeth’s new effort puts Metallica’s Load {of crap} to shame. Although it’s hard to compare their new music to their old I still like their old music better. So if you’re a Megadeth fan you’ll enjoy Cryptic Writings. The Doors Box … [Read more…]
By Aaron Sapp I went to First Avenue on the 29th of October to see WIICO. I’ve never heard of them, and I wish I would have before I went. I would have gone bowling instead.

By Josh Shoberg On November 3rd of 1996, I attended the Gwar concert at First Avenue. Skold was the first band to open. It seemed like they weren’t too experienced but all in all they were pretty good. The second band to play was the Genetorturers. To put it bluntly, they sucked. The guitar work … [Read more…]
