    The Metal Forge - 375 - Waxed

    Formed by frontman Luc Richards and guitarist Davis Haley, Nashville crossover thrash quintet Waxed is now a full cadre with Will Alley on bass, Noel Richards on guitar, and Ian Sundstrom on drums. Known for the ferocity of their live shows, Waxed concocts a sludgy brew of heavy riffs, cutting leads, and quick turnarounds that make for a truly unique brand of rock n’ roll. Having recently opened up for Jack White and Converge, their newest single “Big Blind” follows the group’s 2022 debut album Give Up and 2023’s Idlewild, a split EP with local heavy hitters Soot.

    The Metal Forge - 371 - Nu Metal

    When I first discovered Nu Metal, I was 13. It was 1996, the world was different. Suddenly the aggressions of the early 1990’s “Peace in the Middle East” campaign where schools would have you recite the pledge of allegiance every morning and then a prideful listen to a song by Lee Greenwood, “Proud to be an American”. What was there to be proud of? In that time there were riots in the streets where angry musicians looted and sang about it, where the police brutality raged on in the major metroplexes. When you look back at it, it really seems like something of a movie, from time period staples of the day like “Falling Down”, “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in the overtly west coast scene along with other films based in a post apocalyptic Los Angeles in “Demolition Man” & “Judge Dredd”. However there were just as many cop revenge story films from New York and Miami as well, if it was a way to exploit it, it was to be done. The music that comes into play where people realized that the only warfare was class warfare. It’s us vs. them… a manifesto where we can all get together and make a difference. The rage of the 1990’s fallout of the Reagan Administration in the 1980’s where people were promised that if they gave they would receive and they were to be recipients of a shit sandwich and a crashed pyramid scheme economy that still impacts us to this very day. The ruthless aggression was all over the news, things like “Inside Tonight”, “Hard Copy” and so much more where it exposed the dregs of humanity. Bands united and scenes mixed where bands would often mix elements of Rap, Hip-Hop, Electronica and more into the metal culture. Insert yourself at 13, where you often are coming of age to a sort (especially in the United States) and rage and angst is rampant and you just want to be understood, all we can do is to be better. Metal Everyday.

    The Metal Forge - 370 - Highgate

    Kentucky's doom-heavy sludge band, HIGHGATE, has teamed up with Horror Pain Gore Productions to drop their latest album, "Prophecies Of Eternal Horror." Hailing from the hills of Northern Kentucky, HIGHGATE delivers a powerful mix of sludge and doom that echoes years of struggle and despair. "Prophecies Of Eternal Horror" paints a grim picture with themes of global war atrocities, religious fanaticism, and class warfare. The album's first single, "At Paranoia’s Poison Door," is a blackened-doom anthem that takes a stand against an overreaching government trying to keep us too scared to think or act independently. The refrain, “crawl to your masters,” highlights the song's message about the government's ability to turn citizens into submissive followers.

    The Metal Forge - 369 - Heavy Temple

    Heavy Temple transcends the label of mere band; they are a plunge into a primal, sonic realm, a journey to the very core of heavy rock. Having materialized on the scene before the subsequent doom and psych resurgence, they stand not as wave-riders, but as its very genesis. Their music resonates not so much as crafted composition, but as an archaeological marvel, unearthed from the vestiges of an ancient, riff-worshiping civilization. Heavy Temple distinguishes itself not merely through sound, but through a keen architectonic command of tension and release. They forge towering sonic monoliths of riffage, overlaying them with liberated melodies, and detonating rhythmic cataclysms that impact with elemental force. This is not passive listening; it's an experience felt in the bones, a visceral encounter eclipsing the conventional concert. If predictability leaves you wanting, Heavy Temple arrives as the ready panacea. Rather than merely nudging the accepted limits, they shatter them outright, charting an uncharted course through the vast sonic wilderness. Thus, amplify their work, immerse yourself within the cascading riffs, and prepare for complete aural conversion: This, unequivocally, is heavy rock done right.
