Stained Glass Review - Metal Temple

The first cardinal rule as a journalist is to protect your material. Not just your own, but the material that you’ve been given as well; in this case, an album. When you’re given an album to review, that is your own personal copy and no one else’s. You are not to share it. You’re not to leak it. And especially in the case of an album that hasn’t officially been released yet, you don’t even talk about it outside of the article. It is here that I admit that I have broken a part of this cardinal rule… though I’ve done it purely in the name of research, not greed. With one particular track from Dichro’s debut album, Stained Glass, I involved some other people – about half a dozen or so, for the simple purpose of answering this question: “…am I fucked-up, or is this absolutely goddamn BRILLIANT?” And to my complete lack of surprise… every single one of them… agreed with me. They also pointed out that, yes, I am probably fucked-up as well. And I was. (Am.) But that doesn’t affect how we do the job.
