Album Review: Machinae Supremacy – Phantom Shadow

The Swedish kings of video game metal bring out their sixth full album Phantom Shadow.  How does an album with less 8-bit bleeps and more instruments and atmosphere work for a group who is so identified with their unique style?

Photos: YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE

My photos of Youngblood Hawke from The Gospel Tour in St. Augustine, FL!  All photos were taken on 8/16/2014 at the Saint Augustine Amphitheater.

…I may have taken too many pictures of one band member in particular.

Photos: WALK THE MOON

My photos of Walk The Moon at The Gospel Tour.  All photos were taken at the St. Augustine Amphitheater.

Walk The Moon definitely wins the award for having the most fun fans.  They had a lot of supporters there.

Photos: PANIC! AT THE DISCO

My photos of Panic! At The Disco live on The Gospel Tour!  All photos were taken in St. Augustine, Florida on 8/16/2014.  There are two pages of photos so make sure to check them both!

On a side note, Brendon Urie took his shirt off half way through and I swear I went deaf from all the girls screaming with delight.

Album Review: Dragonforce – Maximum Overload

London’s power metal group bring up the speed with their sixth full album.  How loud do the dragons roar in 2014, and is it worth it for their long time fan base?

Album Review: The Gaslight Anthem – Get Hurt

The fifth studio album from New Jersey’s hardcore heroes.  How does a mellower and more personal album sound when compared to their energetic discography?

Album Review: Godsmack – 1000hp

The sixth full album from Godsmack kicks off with all cylinders.  Does 1000hp cruise on or is this a crash and burn?

Photos: BATTLECROSS

I was fortunate to get into the Battlecross show (w/ IKILLYA) at the 1904 Music Hall in Jacksonville, FL.  The venue was pretty dark but the audio system and sound was AMAZING.  It turned out to be a great show and Battlecross are some genuinely nice guys who really know how to play.  They will be on tour later this year with Machine Head and Children of Bodom.

 

Album Review: Anberlin – Lowborn

It’s the end of an era with Florida’s Anberlin calling it over on a high note with Lowborn.  How does this 10+year band sound in their farewell?
