Shallow – 16 Sunsets in 24 Hours – Review

April 1, 2001

16 Sunsets in 24 Hours has the fat, down-tuned heaviness of Kyuss as well as the pretty melodicism, but I don’t think anyone would confuse the two, you know?

Internal Void – Unearthed – Review

April 1, 2001

Second disc from DC-area doomsters wielding heavy structures to natural vocals and a tinge of bump boogie.

Immolation – Close to a World Below – Review

April 1, 2001

Not the fastest or the heaviest, but customizing those prerequisites into a haunting, creepy sound that no one could claim their own.

Imbroco – Are You My Lionkiller? – Review

April 1, 2001

The only thing as mediocre as the performances here would be vocalist Rory Phillips’ contributions to The Stereo’s debut.

Self – Gizmodgery – Review

April 1, 2001

They’ve snottily retaliated by recording this dorky gem entirely on toy instruments, video games, and stuffed animal voice boxes.

Hot Water Music – Never Ender – Review

April 1, 2001

Never Ender collects all of Hot Water Music’s 7″s and splits on one disc, even throwing in a tune that was previously only available on a European split.

Screeching Weasel – Teen Punks in Heat – Review

April 1, 2001

As strong as classic Screeching Weasel, the originators (along with The Queers) of “whoa-a-wa-oh” pop-punk, Teen Punks… blasts out a slew of new tunes.

Hot Rod Circuit – If It’s Cool With You, It’s Cool With Me – Review

April 1, 2001

It’s not original, but they’re branching out. Pick this up for your sensitive emo, your cute emo, your crunchy emo, your math emo, your punk rock emo.

Scariot – Deathforlorn – Review

April 1, 2001

Comprised of members who’ve played with Carpathian Forest and Satyricon. Even though they’re fairly sharp, they come across as a second-rate Gardenian.

Hey Mercedes – Review

April 1, 2001

Anyone who loved Frame and Canvas and the last Braid recordings (“Please Drive Faster” and “You’re Lucky to be Alive”) will love this band.
