From A Second Story Window – Not One Word Has Been Omitted – Review

December 1, 2004

It’s safe to say that most people who’ve heard the debut album by From A Second Story Window have never heard anything so demented and unhinged.

Go Betty Go – Worst Enemy – Review

December 1, 2004

Chuck Taylors and leather jackets at CBGB’s. Pop perhaps, but damn good driving bombastic pop that reminds me of The Rezillos and X-Ray Specs.

100 Demons – Review

December 1, 2004

The fierceness and intensity is still still alive and well, but a lot more groove and melody has been injected, and those moments weaken the attack.

Electric Frankenstein – We Will Bury You! – Review

December 1, 2004

Evergrey – The Inner Circle – Review

December 1, 2004

December 1, 2004

December 1, 2004

Still got that “classic” Swedish death sound: Unmistakably gnarly guitars, fuzzy production, semi-melodic riffs (but not Gothenburg melodic), and quick tempos.

Die Hunns- Long Legs – Review

December 1, 2004

15 songs (10 originals and five covers) running the gamut from hardcore to punk to quasi-surf to flat out ROCK. And it clocks in at about 40 minutes.

Death Angel – The Art of Dying – Review

December 1, 2004

The Art of Dying is the sound of a creative entity so far beyond rudimentary thrash, that they can’t even fake their discomfort in “returning to roots.”
