    Jude was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, living in Taiwan but originally from the great state of Ohio, USA. He first got into music when a fellow weirdo in his catholic high school needed someone to play guitar with. They jammed on some Grunge Rock, but soon he got hooked on the blisteringly-fast shredding of Randy Rhoads and other greats. Later, he bought Metallica's Ride The Lightning as his first album purchase. During that time, his friends and him would end up at local Metal shows. He played in some bands himself as well.

AETERNITAS – House Of Usher

October 23, 2016 Jude Cossey 0

It has been seven years since German band Aeternitas released an album, but unlike some long-anticipated releases (Chinese Democracy anyone?) Aeternitas have made this hiatus well worth the wait. Be prepared for an epic release. …READ MORE

DETHONATOR – Dethonator

October 17, 2016 Jude Cossey 0

EXISTANCE – Breaking The Rock

October 17, 2016 Jude Cossey 0

Existance founder Julian Izard says he is determined to keep the ’80s Metal spirit alive. Breaking The Rock exemplifies that claim as it lathers you with leather and hairspray. High-note screams, guitars with palm-muted crunch, …READ MORE

KRYPTOS – Burn Up The Night

October 4, 2016 Jude Cossey 0

Metal mathematics lesson: One headbanging track, multiplied by eight, equals Burn Up The Night. This new record by Indian band Kryptos starts out strong and doesn’t let up until the last track fades out. “Unto …READ MORE

FAKE IDOLS – Witness

September 12, 2016 Jude Cossey 0

Fake Idols is the collaboration of musicians who strayed from their original bands in search of something better. They certainly found it with their 2016 release entitled Witness. With cameos by Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell …READ MORE
