Red Right Return is the first studio album by Janus and was re-released on September 22, 2009 through REALID Records. First release of this album was in 2008 through Level It Records/Glass Bottom Boat Music.

The name Red Right Return comes from an old saying used by Ship captains to remind themselves when returning home to port to always keep the red buoy on the right side of the ship.

I have never tried to hide my love for true old school thrash. Now there are some Bay Area Thrash legends that have adopted the more trendy Metalcore or Death Metal vocals, but Heathen is not one of them. Their new cd The Evolution of Chaos is pure old school Thrash.

This is our exclusive interview with Heathen vocalist David White. Listen as he talks about all things Heathen, Old School Thrash, and so much more!

While Eluveitie always belonged to the fastly growing European folk metal scene, they always brought some fresh wind into it: Eluveities sound is authentic, traditional Celtic folk music combined in a unique way with modern styled melodic death metal. With their new Album "Everything Remains (as it never was)" they have managed to deepen every aspect of their already inimitable style and maybe more than ever can only be described by their own description "The New Wave Of Folk Metal".

Listen to our exclusive interview with Eluveitie mastermind Chrigel Glanzmann as he talks about all things Eluveitie and their upcoming cd Everything Remains As It Never Was.

Llexi Leon, the mastermind behind the multimedia concept ETERNAL DESCENT, began making noise in London, England in 2005. His highly intricate guitar style exhibits the many influences corralled to create his intense sound - from classical, flamenco, electronica, and ambient genres to the more prominent genres of rock and metal. All of these genres infused to one, Llexi has created a cinematic fantasia with a gothic flair, which will branch out to a comic book series, hitting shelves in March 2010 from IDW Publishing.

Listen to this exclusive interview where Llexi Leon talks about all things Eternal Descent. This includes the comic book that will be unleashed in March as well as the music that will help bring the fan further into the world that Llexi has created!

There is a list of people I want to interview before I have to stop doing this whole underground music journalism thing. These are people that not only are the legends that I grew up with, but people who created the music that helped me get through my youth. One of them is Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies. So to say this was an honor is an understatement. So please excuse me if I get a little fanboy at times. This has always been one of my favorite bands of all times.

So listen up as Mike talks about the new DVD, upcoming cd's, tour announcements, and so much more.
