Kathryn Bigelow's two-fisted win at the Academy Awards for best director and best film for The Hurt Locker didn't just punch through the American movie industry's seemingly shatterproof glass ceiling; it has also helped dismantle stereotypes about what types of films women can and should direct.

When I heard Bear In Heaven's Beast Rest Forth Mouth for the first time, I was skeptical. The album has gotten hype, especially because of the positive review on Pitchfork.com. Yet, I was confused. BRFM presents no clear definition of what genre the band is.

"Alice in Wonderland" tells the story of a girl who starts as an inconvenience to society and evolves into becoming a nuisance. Tim Burton's film essentially ignores the social pressures on a woman in the 19th century and provides us instead with murky visuals and annoying characters who seem addicted to continuously talking even though they have nothing to say.

"We are known as the Philswitch Engage," screamed Guitarist, Adam Dutkiewicz from the stage at the Palladium Ballroom.
With their lead singer off the tour, who knew longtime friend Phillip Labonte from All That Remains filling his slot, it was a wonder what to expect when the fathers of Metal-core stopped in Dallas on their headlining tour.
Storming onto the stage like super heroes, Killswitch Engage met face-to-face with a packed house of diehard fans that were willing to stand loyal to the band regardless of the impromptu line-up change.
While one might imagine a lack of chemistry, or possibly a moment lost due to Howard Jones departure, but this was definitely not the case on Mar. 26. From left to right, this band covered the stage, not missing a moment to interact with the crowd.
A fun and vibrant stage presence coupled nicely with pounding bass lines and face melting guitar riffs rounded out what was nearly a flawless performance. An outsider would barely be able to tell that the lead singer stalking around the stage was a last second replacement.
"We wanted to strip everything down and just go for the throat," said Bassist Mike D'Antonio. "A lot of metal-core bands play songs that are nine and 10 minutes long, which tends to get a little wordy for us."
In between gym shorts, green capes and topless women, Killswitch Engage took every advantage given to unleash their uniquely developed sound on the crowd.
