Fetish – Silver – Review

April 1, 2001

Fetish, like other bands on Adeline, is hard to peg. Interesting. Unpredictable. The vocalist used to do spoken word, I hear, and he has a bit of Jello in him.

Cryptopsy – And Then You’ll Beg – Review

April 1, 2001

A very brutal, enjoyable death metal album, one I’ll play again and again, but it’s not the most mind-boggling one you’ll find if you look more closely.

Crematory – Believe – Review

April 1, 2001

This somewhat ignored act are back with a tight, taught, grinding record of tuneful Gothic metal. The grooves are large, the guitars pounding each track home.

Creeper Lagoon – Watering Ghost Garden – Review

April 1, 2001

Although only six songs, this has the San Franciscan quartet focusing more on the cotton candy, tongue-twisting, goose-bump-giving melodies that the debut.

Creep Division – Review

April 1, 2001

Sick Of It All bassist Craig Setari on vocals, Good Riddance vocalist Russ Rankin on bass, Good Riddance bassist Chuck Platt on guitar. Pre-’82 hardcore/punk.

Cradle of Filth – Midian – Review

April 1, 2001

A lot of thrash amidst the blastbeats and Tim-Burton’s-a-pussy intros, and Pinhead voiceovers, skin-tingling black mass chanting, and female vocals.

Zero Boys – Vicious Circle – Review

April 1, 2001

From the Midwest, this tight, fast, hardcore punk band (back when you could use the words together) struck a chord that reverberates to this day.

Yngwie Malmsteen – War to End All Wars – Review

April 1, 2001

The man with a past that’s most committed to, married to, and having his way with, all the rules of power metal practiced by those vacant of such a past.

White Skull – Public Glory, Secret Agony – Review

April 1, 2001

While they write pretty third-rate rhythms, they can play pretty bad-ass and Frederica De Boni does have quite a pair of, um, lungs.

Voltaire – Almost Human – Review

April 1, 2001

The alchemical formula to transform formal, minor key violins and proper Victorian speak into an aural tickle that makes skulls grin and devils tap their toes.
