Our Story
We pride ourselves on being set apart from the normal music review websites. Our talented staff each work on their own, specialized genres and we try to focus heavily on lesser known bands.

Primary genres covered:
"My name is Chad, Chadwick for short! I'm 24 years old, married to my wonderful wife Elyse, and the non-biological father of three slightly insane dogs. Metal is an essential part of my diet, and I take it in forms from near indiscernible brutal death metal to ambient post-hardcore with a good ol' indie vibe to it. I highly enjoy writing, gaming, bowling (or sucking horrendously at bowling) and I fancy myself as a plentiful purveyor of pizza! I have two bachelor's degrees in History and Communications, and I'm currently working on a master's in Theology."
