Scholomance is what it professes to be, a mesmerizing pastiche of progressive black metal, soaking up all the complicated habits of the centuries.

Moral Crux – Something More Dangerous – Review

April 1, 1999

Damn fine songwriting (kinda Misfitsy chords and melodies), but it comes out sounding like Supergrass or mid-tempo Funeral Oration.

Twenty-two songs, 50+ minutes of punk mayhem, plus a few history lessons and unreleased tracks for those who need extra incentive.

Mondo Topless – Get Ready for Action – Review

April 1, 1999

Memory Garden – Verdict of Posterity – Review
