Peter Murphy – Cascade – Review

June 1, 1995

Cascade finds pouty Pete gargling on his customary elixir of abject despair, albeit with more sensual atmospheres and textures than his previous albums.

Mung – Vow of Poverty – Review

June 1, 1995

The best punk rock record to come out of Boston since Rabid Reaction by the Freeze. Not since then have I heard so much honesty and emotion in an album.

Overwhelming Colorfast – Sourdough – Review

June 1, 1995

Overwhelming Colorfast is captured here as close to live-in-your-living-room as you can get. Power pop at it’s finest.

Pentagram – Be Forewarned – Review

June 1, 1995

The American Godfathers of doom metal have returned and stay true to their original sound. I savor what is classic and explore what is progressive.

Mourning Sign – Alienor – Review

June 1, 1995

heir songs tend to flow from somber, funereal dirges, to hyperfast blasts of rage. Progressive death metal without long and boring songs. Sad yet powerful.

Moonspell – Wolfheart – Review

June 1, 1995

Moonspell may be young and have certain immature song structures, but they show promise through sheer diversity.

Moody Jackson – My White Bread Mom / Moody Jackson split – Review

June 1, 1995

My White Bread Mom and Moody Jackson have the early ’80s thrash sound that people are now boasting about having been into back in the day.

Mind Riot – Peak – Review

June 1, 1995

I can honestly say this is one of the most diverse metal albums I’ve heard. But please, next time hire a producer.

Wax – with Bush at the Strand – Review

June 1, 1995

Miraculously, this line up works. Wax took their entertaining ska-core sound to the stage of the Strand as an opening act for Bush.

Meshuggah – Destroy Erase Improve – Review

June 1, 1995

A cross between highly-advanced musician metal and death/thrash gone power metal. This’ll keep you on your toes, to say the least.
