Mindset – A Bullet for Cinderella – Review

June 1, 1999

Every song’s a fresh new trip, every second song an infection, every third a raging holler-out ecstatic anthem. I’m reminded of the underrated Handsome record.

A Quilted Heart – R.M. Vaughan – Review

June 1, 1999

My last sensation before death – the fat, lemony zinc taste of the poison Samson had fed me – was gone, because the embalmers brushed my teeth and tongue.

Davie Allan and the Arrows – “The Born Losers Theme” – Review

June 1, 1999

Fuzz-damaged surf vet instrumentalizes one here that sounds vaguely like “The Battlestar Galactica Theme,” but bleeding out vicious squawking sounds.

Lords of Chaos – Interview

June 1, 1999

An interview with Michael Moynihan

Anvil- Speed of Sound – Review

June 1, 1999

Porn, murder, metal, and general cantankerous complaint, just like every other Anvil record.

Garbage Pail – Band Names We Hope To Never See – Column

June 1, 1999

With “electronica” emitting its final thrusts like an epileptic’s death throes, it’s time to admit they had the stupidest nicknames since black metal and Goth.

Strife – Truth Through Defiance – Review

June 1, 1999

Strife was one of the leaders in the ’90s hardcore scene. With their recent demise, it’s only reasonable to put out a collection of songs previously unreleased.

In the Woods – Strange in Stereo – Review

June 1, 1999

In The Woods are a breath of fresh, progressive-metallic air with their third epic album, Strange In Stereo.

Milksop Holly – Milkweeds – Review

June 1, 1999

Mara Flynn’s smooth vibrato opens over every light guitar meandering which flits, flies, and drifts like soft, floaty, sweet and sappy milkweed pods.

Darkseed – Give Me Light – Review

June 1, 1999

Each track throws in a new sound and arrangement, but I can’t help thinking that the boys are abandoning ship, passing Sentenced on the way to Paradise Lost.
