From the primitive death/doom of their debut Karelian Isthmus to their glazed hippie folk rock on Am Universum , they continued to bring something new to the table. After that, well,...

Having witnessed the aural anesthesia of Vaiping live once before, it was with beastliness as a forethought and grim vexation that I agreed to review their sophmore release.

Tonight I went to my first rock concert since ... Twisted Sister, Dio and Slade in the early 80s and Magnum in the 90s. Although I've since seen Metallica, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, and a plethora of others at festivals like Reading, they don't count in the same way. No, tonight, I went to see Dragonforce and their three-band support ( Sabaton / Sylosis / Glamour of the Kill ). I came away...
