Black Dogs – Review

April 1, 1994

June Tremaine says that she has seen evil in the Black Dogs, and having faced it, has been set free.

Vagabond – Review

April 1, 1994

It is a story of twenty-four hour rave-ups, cock fights, mah-jong, martial arts, and unsafe sex in the kampongs and back-alleys of old Singapore.

Blau Zur – Lament for Lymon – Review

April 1, 1994

The six tunes on Lament For Lymon range from noisy versions of ’80s pop you might hear on the Valley Girl soundtrack to ’90s alternative college music.

Chevy Heston – Review

April 1, 1994

Not since The Crying Game has there been such secrecy. The release date has yet to be announced. The pre-release, surprise surprise, has not been received.

Clamhammer – Review

April 1, 1994

Their style of feedback, stagger-tempo, ranting versed noise is definitely their own.

Course of Empire – Initiation – Review

April 1, 1994

A barbed mesh of squalling guitars, primal rhythms, and thought-provoking lyrics.

Dio – Strange Highways – Review

April 1, 1994

Don’t expect any extreme diversity, this is a straight forward power extravaganza of the true metallic sort. This may well be Dio’s heaviest to date.

Eve’s Plum – Envy – Review

Gillyis Thunderhead – Review

April 1, 1994

One of the better produced demos. Gillyis Thunderhead pounds out heavy, action-packed tunes filled with shadows, corpses, human flesh, worms, and greed.

High Defiance – Lessons From Hate – Review

April 1, 1994

Notorious for their three ring vocal assault. With all the tuned low and mean crunch chords, the samples and scratches skim like flat rocks across a lake.
