Kreator – Cause for Conflict – Review

November 1, 1995

A terrifyingly powerful record, produced huger than anything in Kreator’s back catalog. The cover art isn’t like days of old, but it’s Kreator, so it’s great.

In Flames – Subterranean – Review

November 1, 1995

Crystal clear and tight instrumentals, raw and crisp Helloween-esque singing guitars. Vocals are like early Kreator, Whiplash, or more recently, At the Gates.

Fudge Tunnel – In A Word – Review

November 1, 1995

One of the heaviest bands on one of the most shitty-sounding records you’ve ever heard! Compiles unreleased and hard-to-find songs into a smorgasbord of sludge.

The Gathering – Mandylion – Review

November 1, 1995

Tastefully roaring guitars lay a foundation, which the subtle keyboards landscape, and upon which Anneke van Giersbergen dances and sings like a pagan goddess.

Sinister – Hate – Review

November 1, 1995

Ignoring anything resembling diversity within or between songs, Sinister just plain play mind-numbingly fast, trudgingly slow, and thoroughly demonic songs.

Bathory – Octagon – Review

November 1, 1995

Still has the hyperspeed attack, with cheesy lyrics about bleeding, bludgeoning, evil, and madness, mixed in with Judas-Priest-recorded-in-a-sewer-pipe metal.
