Exodus
Shovel Headed Tour Machine: Live At Wacken And Other Assorted Atrocities
By Keith Carman

Divided up into two DVDs and a CD, the first two-thirds of this release feature the band's 2008 performance at one of the world's premiere metal festivals. Their gig is impressive, as Exodus prove to be just as tight, vicious and energetic as they were some 20 years ago, even if the set list is a bit top-heavy on current material. The CD is an exact aural copy of the show, so it does feel redundant, but some people ― introduce us when you meet one ― just love their live albums. The second DVD is the real gem. Almost three hours of Exodus footage unfolds in the form of a five-year retrospective full of road stories, appearances, studio time making Shovel Headed Kill Machine, their Metalocalypse contribution and extras such as deleted scenes, videos and a 1985 interview. Never a group of slouches, Exodus have ensured that Shovel Headed Tour Machine is a valuable offering ― no stopgap in the wait for something new. To that extent, this could only have been cooler were it a career retrospective. (Nuclear Blast)

Skratch Bastid
If Paul Murphy's loft were stripped bare, it would have the appearance of an elementary school classroom. Under the high ceilings are massive south-facing windows that take up the entire wall along with the space heaters that come up from the floor to meet them. They are divided only by a ledge that runs the entire length of that side of the room.... Read More

Ong Bak 2: The Beginning Dir. by Tony Jaa and Panna Rittikrai
Martial arts fans have been salivating for this Ong Bak follow-up since the original introduced the human special effect that is Tony Jaa to our shores. Unfairly bereft of any serious marketing or theatrical release, Ong Bak 2 improves upon its predecessor in every conceivable way. Jaa... Full Review
