Old Man’s Child – Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion – Review

November 1, 1998

Where Emperor and Enslaved have epic, riff-packed songs often surpassing ten minutes, Galder’s are more concise, straight-to-the jugular tunes. Catchy, even.

Add N to X – On the Wires of our Nerves – Review

November 1, 1998

A fantastically sloppy piece of analog hardcore that is abrasive, dissonant, disorienting, and downright scary.

Obituary – Dead – Review

November 1, 1998

Dead is an excellent live testament to the unbridled nastiness that Obituary has created for these many years.

9 Volt – Nine Volt – Review

November 1, 1998

9 Volt will undoubtedly provide excellent steering-wheel drumming basslines for latenight cruisers and Taco Bell-bound suburban kids everywhere.

Happy Meals 2 – Review

November 1, 1998

This perfect marriage of punkpop and powerpop lasts 50 minutes, the exact amount of time I’ve been lamenting to my therapist cuz a comp like this didn’t exist.

Nokturnal Mortum – Goat Horns – Review

November 1, 1998

With the integration of Ukrainian folk melodies, Nokturnal Mortum have tapped into an original element that works.

30 Foot Fall – Divided We Stand – Review

November 1, 1998

A re-release of 30footFALL’s first full-length. Their second (I think) release, Acme-143, also on Fearless, is much more polished, tightened, and versatile.

Groove Radio – Review

November 1, 1998

Half the fun (the other is dancing vertically, horizontally, or bouncing around like a pinball in your car) is trying to peg the origin of the samples.

Nobodys – Greatasstits – Review

November 1, 1998

Greatasstits takes all the comp tracks, demo tracks, 7″ tracks, unreleased outtakes, and everything else and puts it all on one very, very long CD. It’s tits.

Firestarter – Review

November 1, 1998

Firestarter could be your foot in the door that, once opened, allows a beautiful darkness into your life.
