Lostprophets – The Fake Sound of Progress – Review

July 5, 2002

I like a lot of the ideas Lostprophets have, especially their fearlessness to experiment with all kinds of sounds and styles, but it doesn’t quite gel for me.

3rd Strike – Lost Angel – Review

Long-suffering for ten years and Dutch, Callenish Circle have evolved from old death to nü death (!) creating a fast, perfectly-serviceable Swedish thrash.
