Uncharted Review: An Indiana Jones Riff That Still Delivers Some Unique Thrills
The Pitch: For non-gamers, Uncharted is a remarkably straightforward project: Hot treasure hunters go on an action-packed adventure to track down a centuries-old treasure? Sure, checks out. Maybe these particular treasure hunters aren’t as nobly intentioned as, say, one Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr., but that doesn’t mean 25-year-old bartender/history buff/aspiring thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) isn’t just as dedicated to tracking down some long lost gold. We first meet Nathan as a 10-year-old living with his older brother Sam in an orphanage, though Sam makes his escape from the place after a run-in with the law, leaving his brother with a family artifact (an engraved ring), followed by, in the ensuing years, a trail of vague postcards from exotic locals. Now (ostensibly) an adult, Nate’s ...

In a new interview with EMP España, HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak spoke about the band’s upcoming spring 2022 European tour with HELLOWEEN. The “United Forces 2022” trek will kick off on March 25 in Oslo, Norway and conclude on May 5 in London, England. “We’re chomping at the bit to get started,” Oscar said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “This tour can’t start early enough for us. It’s gonna be more than two years off the stage, which is… I don’t know when that happened last time; it was involuntary. So, for us, it’s a big thing. I think just being on stage and being on tour again is gonna be really, really exciting for everybody; people are gonna explode during the shows, basically.” He continued: “T...
ICE NINE KILLS Drops Animated Video For ‘Take Your Pick’ Feat. CANNIBAL CORPSE’s CORPSEGRINDER
The overlords of slashercore ICE NINE KILLS are celebrating the most romantic day of the year by delivering a special Valentine’s treat to their fans in the form of a gore-filled animated music video for their track “Take Your Pick” featuring CANNIBAL CORPSE frontman George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher and inspired by infamous horror movie “My Bloody Valentine”. Speaking about the clip, ICE NINE KILLS frontman and creative visionary Spencer Charnas shares: “To pay tribute to one of the most vicious slashers of the 1980s, we knew we had to cook up a video and musical number with only two things in mind: brutality and poor taste. We are honored to have the legendary Corpsegrinder providing his signature vocal assault which will hopefully disembowel t...
