Marvel – Ultimate Alliance – Review

March 9, 2007

Top-down Gauntlet-style hack and slash adventure, this distinguishes itself by offering the most colorful, detailed environments ever seen in this type of game.

Some Action – The Band That Sucked the Life Out of Rock N Roll – Review

March 9, 2007

Good like Burger King. They have a great ’70s garage punk sound, and really catchy, singable, anthemic songs, but there’s one just like them on every corner.

Snowbyrd – Review

March 9, 2007

These are rock guys moving into rootsier music. The vocalist sounds a bunch like Big Audio Dynamite/Clash singer Mick Jones. Friendly and kinda wistful.

Black Tape For A Blue Girl – Remnants of a Deeper Purity – Review

March 9, 2007

While Dead Can Dance utilized folk music to court Renaissance Goths, Sam Rosenthal went after high-brow graphic designers by means of darkwave chamber music.

Dodsferd – Fucking Your Creation – Review

March 9, 2007

Dodsferd is a one-man project from Greece. Wrath is that man, and his music has been dubbed “dirty black-n-roll,” a combination of raw black metal and rock.

Die Verbannten Kinder Evas – Dusk and Void Become Alive – Review

March 9, 2007

A combination of classical, Gothic, and darkwave, flawlessly constructed with piano, keyboards, and strings. An air of sorrow and melancholy flows through.

Daughters – Hell Songs – Review

March 9, 2007

Think of it as grindcore without structure, Mr. Bungle on a violent meth high, John Zorn in the middle of a Central Park jog mind-building his next opus.

Owen – At Home With – Review

March 9, 2007

Sad chords strummed, snapped, and hammered-on by the author’s capable hands, while gorgeous lamentations flow from his mouth.

Loco Gringos – Review

March 9, 2007

Similar to the Hickoids in irreverence to gloss and reverence to rockin’ the house, and dissimilar in that the rootage is less country and more a groove ride.

Black Sabbath – Doom Let Loose – Review

March 3, 2007

350 pages of LP by LP, song by song, riff by riff, word by word attention to the band that created heavy. All the players, singers, the midgets; all of it.
