Goatwhore – Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun – Review

November 12, 2003

If the first Goatwhore was old school black metal with elements of Bathory, Celtic Frost, and punk thrown in for stupidizing, this one’s a little more caustic.

GG Allin & Antiseen – Murder Junkies – Review

November 12, 2003

The latest re-issue from TKO is a true classic. This was originally released by Arizona psycopath Jeff Skipski and his now-defunct Baloney Shrapnel label.

Blind Dog – Captain Dog Rides Again – Review

November 12, 2003

10 songs and fifty minutes of prog-tinged three-piece Swedish thrash, the vocalist seemingly aiming for a baffling midway point between L-G Petrov and RJ Dio.

Antiseen – GG Allin – Murder Junkies – Review

November 12, 2003

The latest re-issue from TKO is a true classic. The record was originally released by Arizona psycopath Jeff Skipski and his now-defunct Baloney Shrapnel label.

Antimatter – Lights Out – Review

November 12, 2003

Heavy like Pink Floyd instead of Pantera, Antimatter is quiet, open, rolling like thunder on the horizon. Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema) creates actual songs.

Android Lust – The Dividing – Review

November 12, 2003

Unique synthesized voices emulate harpsichord or baroque organ while flutes and strings offer an old-world feel that’ll appeal to fans of Rasputina.

Vital Remains – Dechristianize – Review

November 12, 2003

Remember how fast Brutal Truth’s original drummer was? Vital Remains’ Dave Suzuki’s got him beat.

Vampire Mooose – Review

November 12, 2003

Men. We love to make things, break things, manly things, and make noise while doing it. Then we quickly move on and the cycle continues, hopefully with beer.

Riddle of Steel – Python – Review

November 5, 2003

Riddle of Steel rode on shoulders of Shiner, Jawbox, and Shudder To Think, but the moody melodicism and instrumental weavings of Python don’t need to hitchhike.

Sleep – Dopesmoker – Review

November 5, 2003

Though considered one of the biggest, best, and most important bands in stoner rock’s short history, Sleep has always bored me to death.
