Deadworld – The Machine – Review December 1, 1993 Doom that plods along at a triceratops’ pace. Heavy synth beats slam down. On top is the metallic guitar and hyper-distorted vocals.
Chemlab – Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar – Review December 1, 1993 Their music is caustic, throbbing, with warped melodies. A fusion of guitars, synths, electronic drums, bizarre sound effects and unsettling sound bytes.
Chainsaw Kittens – Pop Heiress – Review December 1, 1993 Tyson Meade’s penchant for gowns and glam has now shifted to a tighter grip on insightful lyrics and hurricane hard pop.
Candy Striper Death Orgy – Review December 1, 1993 A few death roars and fun deathly gimmicks, but mostly they have the monster mosh madness of Kreator, Hallow’s Eve, Possessed, and the humor of S.O.D.
Asylum Street – Review December 1, 1993 Newcomers to the local scene, Asylum Street have been rocking Derringers with a potent sound that belies their experience.
Ashes – Review December 1, 1993 Ashes takes hardcore to a new extreme with a female singer. They hail from Maryland, and have been around for a couple of years.
Alice In Chains – Jar Of Flies – Review December 1, 1993 The vocals rarely break a sweat. The soothing despair laps like gentle waves against the occasional wah-soaked guitar or mournful voice box statement.
Seaweed – Four – Review December 1, 1993 Seaweed are just carrying on good, sharp-edged rock ‘n’ roll with a punky flavor. You can even slam to Seaweed. They have melodic undertones to boot.
Souls At Zero – Review December 1, 1993 Wrathchild (later Wrathchild America) was a pretty basic metal band, Souls At Zero emerged with the same line-up and a blistering sound.
