Thy Flesh Consumed
Unrepentant
By Denise Falzon

The fourth full-length release from Halifax, NS's Thy Flesh Consumed is extreme metal at its best. Unrepentant is fast, heavy, relentless and above all, demonic, showcasing a well-executed combination of death, grind and black metal. Starting with "Siege Engine of Unreligion," Thy Flesh Consumed unleash a sonic blast from the depths of hell, with non-stop chugging riffs, blast beats galore and vocalist Peter Mestre's violent guttural growls and screechy shrieks. Lyrically, Unrepentant lashes out at belief systems, both political and religious, and it works well, combined with the band's pure aggression on tracks like "The Demolition of Thought" and "Devout Heathen." With a sound that's clearly influenced by the likes of Nasum and Rotting Christ, their musical style, combined with the album's very raw production, makes Thy Flesh Consumed sound as if they're an old school Scandinavian band rather than a relatively new one from Canada.

Red Chord - Fed Through the Teeth Machine
For a band that's progressed so much since their formation, the Red Chord have taken a lot of flak for supposedly not following up the groundbreaking Fused Together in Revolving Doors with equally arresting releases.

Burning Love - Songs For Burning Lovers
In truth, the first spin of Burning Love's debut full-length didn't yield the anticipated reactions. Expecting something in the same raw, combative vein as their demo/EP, Songs For Burning Lovers, while still wonderfully rough, seemingly lacked its predecessors' overt rabidity and stampeding ...

Inception Dir. by Christopher Nolan
Hearing about someone else's dreams might be the most boring form of storytelling, but living in someone else's dreams ― at least in the hands of star writer/director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night, Memento, The Prestige) ― makes for the movie event of the summer.... Full Review
Crackdown G20
Crackdown 2 was pretty fun when I first played the demo. But before I got my thumbs on the final code, the G20 summit tore apart downtown Toronto — including an incursion of 300 riot cops into my neighbourhood to raid the protestors' Parkdale headquarters — and shook my faith in Canada's police services....
