Sluts of Trust – We Are All – Review

August 16, 2004

Taking the guitar tweaking of Edward Van Halen and spiking it thru the post-punk herk ‘n’ jerk of those days is using the musical language to full advantange.

Scarve – Irradiant – Review

August 16, 2004

While I must applaud Scarve for the powerful, shapeshifting sorting of technical/groove metal on Irradiant, the sound is too reminiscent of Darkane/Meshuggah.

Vomitory – Blood Rapture – Review

August 16, 2004

For a decade and a half, this band discharged from the bowels of Venom, Death, and Deicide comes across in a sharp, swarming display of shred and skillfulness.

Refused – The E.P. Comp CD – Review

August 16, 2004

Promises unreleased and ancient goodies, but merely repackages available material. The European version has the first two demos and a fuckload of bonus songs.

Matt Pond PA – Four Songs – Review

August 16, 2004

Though the first two entries aren’t anywhere near the band’s best moments (even the production is shabby), the two quiet closers make the EP worth the trip.

Clearlake – Cedars – Review

August 16, 2004

Not since The Delgados’ Hate have I heard an album so solid with marvelous structures, every hook and riff irresistible. They bloom, song after song.
