Skankin’ Pickle – Live – Review

May 1, 1996

As a fan since Skafunkrastapunk that’s yet to see their fast-paced live show, this CD fills a gap. Material from all three albums.

Grotus – Mass – Review

May 1, 1996

Gravity Kills – Review

May 1, 1996

Gravity Kills cover all the bases of formulated, commercial industrial rock. It’s plain and simple: If you like NIN, you’ll like Gravity Kills.

May 1, 1996

Exceptionally deep grooves and a layered complexity matched with utter simplicity make this trance/ambient disc a wonder to listen to.

Everdown – Straining – Review

May 1, 1996

These guys play energetic, melodic hardcore decorated with movie samples that immediately makes your body move. The music is extremely tight.

Possession: African Dub – Off World One – Review

May 1, 1996
