Metal/Hardcore Review

Overkill – Coverkill – Review

January 1, 2000

Uneven sound quality, most of these songs being funtime wankery from various album recording sessions. About three presentations worthy of Overkill.

Nightstick – Death to Music – Review

January 1, 2000

Nightstick construct a wall of noisy hate with huge chunks of distorted guitar and not much else. This is nowhere near as hedonistic as Electric Wizard, though.

Metalium – Millennium Metal – Review

January 1, 2000

Metalium follows the formula set by the greats, and perhaps in time will become great themselves. They have the chops, they just don’t write memorable songs.

Metal Church – Masterpeace – Review

January 1, 2000

David Wayne (singer on the first two releases) reeks of ex-Exodus’ Steve “Zetro” Souza circa ’86. But Zetro didn’t have Vanderhoof as guitarist and songwriter.

Substance D – Addictions – Review

January 1, 2000

A concept album documenting lead shoutster Todd Chaisson (ex-Tuff!) and his battles with drug addiction. In the vein of Chemlab and labelmates Pissing Razors.

Stuck Mojo – HVY1 – Review

January 1, 2000

Stuck Mojo manage to make their live document feel like a sun-dappled festival gig in the ’70s. Perfectly crystalline production by long-time bud Andy Sneap.

Mercyful Fate – 9 – Review

January 1, 2000

King and the Knights of the Pentagram-Shaped Table return with 9, the best Mercyful Fate in years. Warmly produced, 9 has an immediacy past records have lacked.
