Marilyn Manson – Mechanical Animals – Review

April 1, 1999

This is Ground Control To Major Waste of Time – your Time’s up. Bye. (Nice tits.)

Infiltration – #10 – #11 – Review

April 1, 1999

A quarterly devised by one Ninjalicious (an obvious alias – his real name is Ninjatastic) to chronicle the criminal activities of young “Canadians.”

Cyberpunk Fiction – Review

April 1, 1999

Get a whole bunch of industrial bands to cover the entire Pulp Fiction soundtrack with the appropriate dialogue bits translated into computer speak. Cool.

Malevolent Creation – The Fine Art of Murder – Review

April 1, 1999

Break-neck riffing, elbow-swinging grooves, lyrics about decapitation… all the ingredients that make death metal such guilt-free fun.

Call on the Dark – 2 – Review

April 1, 1999

While I prefer NB’s Beauty in Darkness2 and CM’s FireStarter to this, fans of dancier and/or less metal-tinged darkness will simply die for Call on the Dark2.

Lynard’s Innards – You’re Wreckin’ Me – Review

April 1, 1999

Ten songs in 22 minutes of frantic, occasionally emo-ish (that means they yell) melodic punk with kinda grimy production, and plenty of simply tuneful songs.

Longfellow – And So On – Review

April 1, 1999

The basic structure of good songs, intelligent lyrics, and a really good DIY attitude. Vandal Warren Fitzgerald twiddles the knobs on this debut.

Bride of Chucky – Review

April 1, 1999

Fourteen tracks of heavy horror music. Ever wonder what Lemmy would sound like covering an AC/DC song? Me neither, but “Love for Sale” is yer answer.

ECW Extreme Music – Review

April 1, 1999

A few new metal faves and some veterans of the crunch. Predominantly covers of well-known songs, yet versions you’ve probably never heard before.

Where Fear and Weapons Meet – Review

April 1, 1999

If I wanted more of the same high-screaming, polka-drumming, three-chord hardcore, I’ll listen to my old records.
