Not all of them, just the ones on the cover and in the "top stories" section or whatever. Think about it. An editor isn't going to write an article for say, Cross Examination when he could write about LoG instead when they have a huge international following.

Atheist. A technical progressive death metal band from Sarasota Florida. They were one of the first bands in the Florida metal scene to incorporate highly technical jazz bits into their music and in their final release in 1993, titled "Elements" even saw full on Samba and Jazz instrumentals. I...

Left 4 Dead. Fun for about 4 days and then it just got painfully boring. You can only do so much with just 4 linear campaigns.

I think I just had a nerdgasm....

They only made 1,000 copies of their debut. They're a little band from the Netherlands made up from another Jazz Fusion Metal band called Cynic from Florida. Cynic is a bigger band and you can find their stuff pretty easily. They only have two albums though. One released in '94, the other...
