The Gathering – Mandylion – Review

November 1, 1995

Tastefully roaring guitars lay a foundation, which the subtle keyboards landscape, and upon which Anneke van Giersbergen dances and sings like a pagan goddess.

Buck O Nine – Barfly – Review

November 1, 1995

They get sassy and brassy with the horns, and rip out some roaring guitar work. Some fun, interpretive covers of Op. Ivy, Misfits, Musical Youth, and the Clash.

The (Amazing) Royal Crowns – Interview

November 1, 1995

An interview with drummer Dana Stewart

The Empire Hideous – Only Time Will Tell – Review

November 1, 1995

Few remember when Goth was dark and deadly, a fearsome music to be proud of. Noble, anthemic songs that communicate a brooding desire, a vague desperation.

Boss Hog – Review

November 1, 1995

Boss Hog lies somewhere between Jon Spencer’s former and current projects, Pussy Galore, and the Blues Explosion’s fuzz-tone Stones-flavored funk grooves.

The Bar Feeders – “I Smell A Roast” – Review

November 1, 1995

Tight drumming keeps this together. Other than that, it’s your basic fast goof punk. A little better than run-of-the-mill, as far as inconsequential 7″ers go.

Black Light Rainbow – Review

November 1, 1995

As soon as the needle hits the vinyl it’s an all out assault on the boundaries of rock as we know it, spitting out incoherent lyrics with earsplitting energy.

Terminal Sect – Gun Worship – Review

November 1, 1995

An industrial band straight out of the late ’80s, a deviant of the Front 24/Skinny Puppy era before Wax Trax! bands learned to shut up and play their guitars.

The Requiem – #5 – Review

November 1, 1995

Now-quarterly extreme music magazine. Now 64 pages with color glossy cover. Solid, descriptive reviews. One of the most comprehensive guides to extreme music.

Pulp – Review

November 1, 1995

What a dysfunctional counterculture we live in when Tarantino has to be the name to lure readers into laying down some clams on this crap.
