Heavy Metal is the ultimate survivalist, weathering every trend, every fad. In the mid 90s, in the wake of Grunge, the Metal movement underwent its most radical evolution to date, ushered in by a leaner, meaner crop of purist, aggressive acts in PANTERA, MACHINE HEAD, BIOHAZARD, LIFE OF AGONY, PRONG and SLIPKNOT as Thrash fused with Hardcore and Death Metal.

As the millennium dawned this new found power exploded not only onto the US touring circuit, but also the national album charts giving rise to a new generation of offshoots as Screamo, Emocore and Metalcore.

In traditional Rockdetector style executive editor Garry Sharpe-Young, author of 14 Rock & Metal titles to date, exhaustively documents these bands in painstaking detail with extensive historical biographies, line-ups and full discographies including track lists, labels, catalogue numbers and chart positions.

LINE UP: Scott McConnell-Lead (Vocals Bass) Terry Morrison-(Guitar -Vocals) Billy Morrison- (Drums Vocals)
The band Ripcored was formed in the summer of 2000 in Akron Ohio as a three piece power trio.This long awaited project has many influences too many to list . We think music is a vital part of our life's and to our community and we treat it with respect and honesty as do our fans. We thank you. Ripcored is in the studio working on a full length CD. There is something brewing in this part of the country and this midwestern metal trio packs a punch as do many of the local bands in the rubber city.
