The Black Demon review – daft but fun giant-shark mayhem on Mexican oil rig | Thrillers

It would seem that megalodons are the menace of the moment. These ginormous sharks, thought to be extinct for millions of years, have been retro-spawned for entertainment purposes by the audiovisual-industrial complex – specifically in the Meg franchise but also on the Discovery Channel – because great white sharks, veterans of the Jaws movies, just don’t cut it any more.

Tom Morello’s iconic guitar rig is now a $119 plugin

Playing guitar and growing up when I did, basically means I am legally required to worship Tom Morello. So when I got wind that Neural DSP's latest collaboration was with Rage Against the Machine guitarist I knew I'd have to put it through its paces. Archetype: Tom Morello turns the company's meticulous modeling ears to the sounds that defined not just Rage but Audioslave as well, just like it has for Gojira, John Petrucci and Rabea Massaad previously. The result is a stunningly accurate recreation of Morello's tone, and…
