Release Reviews

Hellion - Karma's A Bitch (HNE/Cherry Red Records)
The only problem I can find with Karma's A Bitch, the new release from Hellion, is it's only an EP so it feels like an entree and I'm hungrier than that, give me a main course!
Helldorados - Lessons In Decay (Massacre Records)
Helldorados sophomore release falls a little flat in places when compared to their debut
Alkira - Juggernaut (Own Label)
Meaty Thrash Goodness...
Slipknot - .5: The Gray Chapter (Roadrunner)
Massive.
Daylight Robbery - Falling Back to Earth (Solar Flare)
UK hopefulls plunder the past with mixed results...
Northern Oak - Of Roots and Flesh (Own Label)
