Three guys. Two guitars, two drums. Singing drummer. And a harmonica. Don’t forget that, it matters. Like a bubblegum version of The Cheater Slicks (no insult).
I took the hit, my body bloody and bruised, crashing to the ground under the weight of this diverse hardcore/thrash/death metal act’s walloping aggression.
In 2002, much respected-metal veterans Entombed played as the pit orchestra for some kinda fuckin’ ballet. This is the CD document of that live extravaganza.
Under the guise of waterproof vibrating massagers comes the Tickle-Popzzz (which makes it oh so much fun to say I’m a Lollipop Girl), and the S&M Bondage duck.
Former Lollipop artist Mark Reusch (that’s Mister Reusch to you) hooks up a licensing deal with Salem-based Arcane Nonesuch to produce his paintings on jewelry.
Surprisingly, a lot of the tunes here are mid-tempo, and kinda more dirt rock than punk, but the hard-chargers will get the fists flying in the slampit.
Temple of Shadows might be sensory overload, but power metal fans everywhere will still find enough in it to love. Angra are one of the best in the genre.
Like labelmates Kill Your Idols, 7 Seconds are on a crusade to rid hardcore of the commercialized bullshit that’s piled on the genre these past few years.
Chicago based Cruciform Injection’s fourth album was to be a step beyond the industrial dance mold. Nothing is truly a departure from their earlier work.
