I Love Metal – Review

January 1, 2000

Hearing emo, punk, and ska bands covering the likes of Celtic Frost, Slayer, and Motörhead is, to me, a step in the right direction.

Kervorkian Death Cycle – A+O (m) – Review

January 1, 2000

Evolution, containing half new tracks and half remixes, is more like their first album than Bio-Vital, but worth checking out.

Kahimi Karie – K.K.K.K.K. – Review

January 1, 2000

If one holds her first genuine album released in the States, to the same standards as the self-titled best-of compilation, one will be a bit disappointed.

Johnny Dowd – Pictures From Life’s Other Side – Review

January 1, 2000

Johnny Dowd’s this furniture mover who lives in upstate New York and plays a little guitar and possesses a really vivid sense of tragedy, loss, and redemption.

Jakkpot – Always Bet on Black – Review

January 1, 2000

Not being one to insult a buncha obviously older than yer school punks, I’m still not sure if this whole thing isn’t a joke of some kind.

Iron Savior – Interlude – Review

January 1, 2000

The five live tracks come before the four new tracks, with the bonus cover, Judas Priest’s classic “Desert Plains,” as the final cut.

Insidious – Noon in June – Review

January 1, 2000

Insidious weaves through their screaming, shifting, energy-charged “screamo/math rock/art school noise” with the best of ’em.

In Flames – Colony – Review

January 1, 2000

It’s post-death melodic thrash, yet it’s ROCK. Dramatic hair-swirls, lighter-waving acoustic interludes, and powerchords held long and dramatic.

In Extremo – Weckt Die Toten – Review

January 1, 2000

With every lyric in German and the music a fusion of medieval folk and metal, In Extremo are like an ancient version of Rammstein.

Iggy Pop – Ave. B – Review

January 1, 2000

Mr. Osterberg is, sad to report, sorta just another old rock star who should put a shirt on and maybe finally rest on the ruins of his fucking laurels.
