Nuclear Assault – Alive Again – Review

October 8, 2003

Sloppy renditions of songs you already own three times over, and I’m almost sadder now that they’ve reformed than when I first heard they’d broken up.

The Pieces – Review

October 8, 2003

Quirky guitar pop not only makes me yearn for those golden days, but makes me think that the good days aren’t completely behind us.

Monstrum Sepsis – Deep Sea Creatures – Review

October 8, 2003

October 8, 2003

Fast and super-furious uptown action-rock bashing with punk-rock energy, the kinda thing that always sounds great comin’ outta the speakers when you push play.

Divine Empire – Nostradamus – Review

October 8, 2003

Bulldozer-strength, Morbid Angel-sounding Floridian death metal from ex-members of Malevolent Creation.

The Cramps – Fiends of Dope Island – Review

October 8, 2003

Fiends of Dope Island is the same album they’ve been making over and over for the past two decades.
