Grave – Soulless – Review

August 1, 1994

A throaty sneer filled with contempt, chants, moans, and howls over brutal grind and deathy thrash. The production is sharp, digging claws into your flesh.

Godspeed – Ride – Review

August 1, 1994

These five guys from Jersey know how to brew a nasty, skull-battering concoction that somehow fuses metal, hardcore, and acid rock all in one.

Wicked Maraya – Cycles – Review

August 1, 1994

Kinda like Helloween, kinda like Fates Warning. Maybe Helmet? Their seamlessly heavy sound and vocalist Lou Falco’s gravelly wail defy analysis.

Fuzzy – Review

August 1, 1994

The first few songs bop around and hide their catchy hooks beneath warm’n’fuzzy distortion. The tempos are quick and Bangles-ish and the topics airy and fun.

Enchantment – Dance the Marble Naked – Review

August 1, 1994

Dance the Marble Naked is filled with all the Gothic sadness, romance, bitterness and triumph alluded to by the cover photo of Stonehenge.

Deeper Shade – Review

August 1, 1994

With a voice reminiscent of Corey Glover, Tim High has certainly got the pipes to pull off whatever the band chooses to play.

Cobalt 60 – Radiator – Review

August 1, 1994

The sampler-oriented five song release displays their psycho-thrash sound honed into a razor sharp vision of urban nightmares and introspective realities.

Junky – Review

August 1, 1994

Junky was first published in 1953. In 1953, I would have hidden this book under my bed, to be read only after my parents went to bed.

Wolfgang – at Pearl Street – Review

August 1, 1994

Combining a tapestry of influences such as blues, rock, jazz, and barroom swing into a cohesive whole is no easy task, but Wolfgang do it with authority.

The Showcase Showdown – at The Middle East Cafe – Review

August 1, 1994

All eyes turned to the tiny stage for the pumping, post-punkers and fists flew into the air to join the “oi, oi, oi, oi” refrain of their favorite Blitz cover.
