Die Cheerleader – Son of Filth – Review

April 1, 1995

The huge and angry voice of singer Sam Ireland provides the melodic spearhead for what drives these tracks, namely bassist Debbie Quargnolo’s pounding low end.

Deicide – Once Upon The Cross – Review

April 1, 1995

Hard to take and extremely brutal. Vicious utterings in songs like “Christ Denied,” “Kill The Christians,” and “When Satan Rules This World.”

Death – Symbolic – Review

April 1, 1995

They’re from Florida, play mind-numbing heavy tunes, grind like stompcore, rip through double-bass-thundering speedcore, and have progressive instrumentals.

Darkthrone – Transylvanian Hunger – Review

April 1, 1995

The music is cataclysmic, and the atmosphere within the eerie chords, back-from-the-dead vocals, and cymbal-laden hyperspeed drumming is genuinely frightening.

Creedle – Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars – Review

April 1, 1995

While they have surely studied the Crimson bible, they fall short of being a King Crimson for the ’90s. Not for lack of trying.

Crankcase – “Capitol Hill Murder Suicide Pact” – Review

April 1, 1995

From the great liberty state of Pennsylvania comes slow pop that make ’80s bands such as Trixster and Warrant sound new and exciting.

Crab – Review

April 1, 1995

Great four-track recording. The singer has a passionate voice and all the musicians are top notch.

Come – String 10″ – Review

April 1, 1995

String would make a cool instrumental EP even without Thalia Zedek’s strong, disillusioned vocals, which are the icing on the cake.

Combine – Norfolk VA – Review

April 1, 1995

Resplendent with that quaint regional twang, this power trio plays hard, fast and loud.

Big Hair – Pickle Farm – Review

April 1, 1995

Big Hair hits you like a whirling punk Turkish dervish. A wild frenzy of bass, fiddle, and nasal, screaming vocals a la Primus that maintains a frenetic energy.
