Witchman vs Jammin Unit – Inferno – Review

June 1, 1999

The industrial dub that these guys make is a welcome change from the glut of electro discs. It’s also very true that the Invisible sound is in full-effect.

Weston contributes 16 live tracks recorded at the Pipeline in New Jersey and Doc Hopper kicks in 13 tracks recorded live at NYU in NYC.

Vinnie & the Stardusters – Novelty Music for Casual Sex – Review

A lot more than just a documentary of an impeccable machine at work, it’s hard evidence that Vader is among the best pure death metal bands today.

Scoot! 1999 Spring Sampler – Review

Not only do the bands here convincingly do the late ’70s rock-with-attitude shtick, they manage to squeeze in old school ska and ’50s rock’n’roll as well.

June 1, 1999

Beautiful layout and concept, great bands like Braid, Rainer Maria, Very Secretary, Ida, Ethel Meserve, and Aspera Ad Astra – how could it go wrong? It does.

Metalcore set to fast punk beats, you know it’s Victory at work again. Some good stuff here, particularly by No Innocent Victim, Vision, and Agnostic Front.
