Colors (Victory). Review by Jen Cray.

After a decade of bad feelings, Max Cavalera and his brother Igor reunited onstage and performed some Sepultura classics, thus whetting death metal fans’ already-rabid appetite worldwide for the reunion they said would never happen. Jen Cray spoke with Max in the midst of a tour with his current project, Soulfly to inquire about such possibilities.

Rodrigo y Gabriela (ATO). Review by Jen Cray.

Ill Niño’s “One Nation Undivided Tour” disturbed Orlando just after supper on a quiet Mother’s Day evening at Downtown Disney. Jen Cray arrived fashionably late for the night’s metal festivities.

Spell Of Retribution (Earache/Wicked World). Review by Matthew Moyer.

The former frontman for the seminal hardcore punk outfit, The Misfits, unleashed an evening of pure, dark, bluesy metal on an eager Florida crowd. Jen Cray escapes unscathed.
