One King Down – Gravity Wins Again – Review

April 1, 2001

One King Down, some of you might remember (or not), have never been good.

Nothingface – Violence – Review

April 1, 2001

Three records deep, Nothingface have forged a cogent alloy between hardcore and metal.

Notaword – Four From Fortieth – Review

April 1, 2001

Gusty and with lots of power, Notaword is tougher than their emo contemporaries, always pushing the Heavy Meter before mellowing out.

Nocturnal Rites – Afterlife – Review

April 1, 2001

Meaty and aggressive, shredding and laying down scorching solos, they’re the power metal band for those looking for something with a little more balls.

Nobodys – I’ve Been Everywhere – Review

April 1, 2001

Anyone who knows the Nobodys knows that they suck, often rubbing up against genius in a lewd and probably illegal way, but genius is a slut anyway…

Nile – Black Seeds of Vengeance – Review

April 1, 2001

A record that charms by being so in love with death metal, while pushing the form ever-forward, using progressive breaks and weird exotic instruments.

New Found Glory – Review

April 1, 2001

They’re talented musicians and can ape a style immaculately, but it’s got no guts, no spine, and no credibility.

Neurosis – Sovereign – Review

April 1, 2001

It may only be a four-song EP but it clocks in at thirty minutes of tribal thunder and melodic hypnotic vibes.

Napalm Death – Leaders Not Followers – Review

April 1, 2001

Napalm Death take six songs by their favorite bands and make them sound even better.

Mutant – The Aeonic Majesty – Review

April 1, 2001

It’s possible that Theory In Practice is the most musically complex and mind-boggling death metal band to emerge from the Swedish metal scene.
