“When this record broke, we were in complete shock and awe over the band’s appearance and sound,” the OG says about Motley Crue's 1983 sophomore release, Shout at the Devil. “We were listening to AC/DC, Van Halen, Boston, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, and the like; even KISS, with its use of make-up and shock appeal didn’t prepare … Continue reading Classic Album of the Week: Mötley Crüe: Shout at the Devil
Band of the Week: Cryptopsy
The first time I saw Cryptopsy was a few years ago at Ziggy’s in Wilmington when they played with Cannibal Corpse and Obituary on Valentine’s Day! What a great bloody Valentine! They sound so good live and the crowd loved them. I kept laughing during their set because when the singer would growl into the … Continue reading Band of the Week: Cryptopsy
JEOPARDY: But Make it Metal
What’s going on Butcher Crew? It’s ya girl, The Saw, and I have a very fun game for us to play! I never liked Jeopardy because I could never get the questions right for the answer that was given.

Band of the Week: Suffocation
Ahhh, Suffocation. One of the OG’s of death metal. Unfortunately, I have never seen them, even though I had the chance to my senior year of high school!

Band of the Week: Arch Enemy
I first heard of Arch Enemy when my dad showed me the music videos for My Apocalypse and Nemesis. We were both in awe of the talent that this band had (and still has). They have melodic death metal down and create beautiful songs that have amazing harmonies by the guitars and vocals. The first time I saw … Continue reading Band of the Week: Arch Enemy
Artist of the Week: $uicideBoy$
The first time I heard of $uicideBoy$ was my freshman year of college when I was hanging out in one of the dorm lounges with a few friends. My friend showed me this duo because I like “horror-core” type rap; it reminds me of gangster rap (and we all know that’s my jam). The first … Continue reading Artist of the Week: $uicideBoy$

Album of the Week: As I Lay Dying – An Ocean Between Us (2007)
As I Lay Dying is one of those bands that are a staple piece within the metal community. Their sound when they first hit the scene was raw, fresh, heavy, and groovy. The type of era of metalcore that As I Lay Dying was in was my favorite type of metalcore. I loved the harmony … Continue reading Album of the Week: As I Lay Dying – An Ocean Between Us (2007)

I first started listening to Debauchery probably about 2 years ago when I was looking for groovy death metal to listen to.
