Seattle’s Heroes

By: Chris Stead
A little horror, some punk and metal, sugar, spice and everything’s not so nice. Jonah, Ryann and Steve produce some hard-hitting, in your face rock. It does no justice to say that they are playing metal-influenced punk. No, Schoolyard Heroes are the new lo-fi all-stars. The entire album is [...]

Fey Child

By: J.R. Chambers
You mortals always say, “Time heals all wounds.” How charming, indeed, but even an insect knows time is an indifferent companion. There with you as you are born, and there with you as your corpse is thrown into the cold earth. I suppose I should tell you that Gaia no longer cares [...]

Interview: Dremora

By: Tanya Vasquez
Most of my friends know me to love symphonic metal but I have never really found any bands in the USA that have piqued my interest until recently. Dremora is the brainchild of Thomas.  Here is what he had to say about his band.

Concert Review: Leaves’ Eyes

By: Tanya Vasquez
Leaves’ Eyes played at the Key Club on a date for their second USA tour as a support act for a power metal band. They were an opening act for Kamelot along with several other bands including two progressive metal groups. The first of these was very mainstream and pop like. They were [...]

Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear

© 1993 by James F. Howard
There was just over an hour until midnight. I was going to my attic to retrieve the clock key. The door I approached began to swell and warp. I thought I must be having a flashback from my earlier years, and if I were to just ride it out for [...]

The Third Generation

By: Chris Stead
So, lately I have been doing quite a bit of thinking and my thoughts were best punctuated by James Treagus’ comment about Goths and aging. (If you aren’t familiar with James Treagus and his work, click here) Simply put, James said that people that are into CyberGoth and the like may [...]

Beyond Comic-Con

By: The Gothling
Okay, so the time I got to spend at Con was flippin awesome! And very inspirational. The fashion I saw ranged from the expected (Jedi and Stormtroopers everywhere), the newly discovered (a group of people dressed as characters from my fave anime, Death Note), and the bizarre (a ninja banana?). [...]
