Comment:

With grunge long gone as a "the kids aren't alright" art form, the past few years has seen a resurgence few expected: pure, eardrum-shredding heavy metal and the many weathered faces of extreme music, including the sludge-slinging grooves of Eyehategod; the theatrical, riff-a-minute power metal of Dragonforce; the pointed peaks and dazzling valleys of Pelican; the shadowy, soul-seizing black-metal of Sunn O))); and the twisted time signatures of Mastodon. A nagging, rib-poking sense of unease also cuts its way across the fuzz-flecked folk of "Black Wall," the overheated amps of "Dogwood Rust," and the mind-melting psych of "Pink."
