While Toxic Holocaust’s latest album is a fast, hard-hitting combination of thrash metal and punk, I think I prefer their earlier releases due to a total lack of surprises and variety on this one.
AFI’s Burials is the latest in a long string of uninteresting records from this California band. While I’m not a big fan of the group’s early stuff, at least LPs like Sing The Sorrow had a modicum of aggression or excitement. The radio-friendly records the band has

Singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart has dropped a new video for “Für Hildegard von Bingen,” a smooth cut off his last album, Mala. In the video, the titular nun escapes the convent and has success working as “a VJ on rotation”. Story aside, it’s shot in beautiful hi-contrast black and
