Like clockwork, you know that the minute Protest the Hero so much as scratch their collective nutsack yer ol' Uncle Vince will be here to write about it. So fortunately for me (but maybe not for you) PtH have got a brand new video for "Palms Read." After the hi-fi treatments "Bloodmeat" and "Sequoia Throne" [...]
Last week, I had the privilege of seeing two of today's best metal bands perform at the Fillmore at Irving Plaza... and it turned out to be only an OK experience. And it had nothing to do with the bands, Protest the Hero and Unearth tore up the stage last Thursday night... but too bad the sound guy didn't do equally as good of a job, among other things. It all started off with the train showi...
I could not have had better timing. Protest The Hero was playing with a bunch of metal-core bands, that I don't like (Acacia Strain, Unearth, more bands that made an entire career on an open E string). I got to the show right as Acacia Strain was ending, the band right before Protest.After the short wait, prog-metal/thrash/punk rock kings Protest The Hero got on stage and immediately dove
Let's all agree on one thing: the pretentiousness of metal sub-genres are hilarious! I mean, we have "Viking Metal", "Neo-Classical Metal", and (*snicker*) probably the most hilarious of them all: 'avante-garde' metal (which I pretty much imagine is a mix between your favorite pastry shop and dressing up like your favorite "Dungeons and Dragons" character.) With all of these hilarious terms...
Some songs just inspire me to greatness... Or as close to greatness as I'm getting, anyway. Take this for instance. A week ago, I knew ZERO about cryptography... (apparently the key to understanding it is "patience" ...hrm.) After setting MANY Blindfolds Aside, for a few nights in a row, I finally see...XHXIV NPHXI HZKRV MHEXI RQMVF MXUFR TMSOT VHVWR SEKAX NPHOZ.umm. You get fuckin' kudos beyon...
--- - |- After fellating Protest the Hero's incredible early-2008 release Fortress for two months solid (culminating in my first ever 5 of 5 horns review), I was immediately let down by successive announcements that the band would be touring with shit emo bands through the entire summer. Finally someone in the band's camp has come to their [...] ~~- Protest the Hero

It's late December, there's a nip in the air, and everyone is panicking while trying to figure out what to do for New Years eve, and on top of all of that, we're all having year end, top ten lists shoved down our throats. The whole format sickens me. Say I was doing [...] No related posts. Sorry.

Last night I saw Protest the Hero at Cowboys in London. I believe they're in Toronto right now doing another show so I hope there are some fans out there making it to that event.This is the band that I've seen the most often, probably around 3 times.The first time I saw them was at a smaller venue in Burlington. There was a very long line-up and they just announced that the venue was at capacit...
