Deadsunn – Review March 1, 1995 Mountains of guitars, a dash of techno/industrial keyboards, and some dark lyrics – a winning combination.
Deadguy – Work Ethic – Review March 1, 1995 Hailing from NY, Deadguy blast out anger-ridden social knowledge. “Running with Scissors,” the best song of the three, is a brutal force to be reckoned with.
Culture of Violence – Review March 1, 1995 Standard metal with dumb lyrics and horrendous production, but there’s something in here that could be something, given time.
Emperor – In The Nightside Eclipse – Review March 1, 1995 In the Nightside Eclipse, the band’s long-awaited debut, has established itself as black metal’s long-overdue benchmark.
Unleashed – Victory – Review March 1, 1995 Victory, the band’s fourth LP on Century Media shows the band staying true to their original formula, while also branching out a tad.
Uncle Slam – When God Dies – Review March 1, 1995 With members of early Suicidal Tendencies, I guess I expected a religious experience. It’s not bad, it’s just not amazing.
Swank – “Superfly” – Review March 1, 1995 Malachite reforms (again) playing new roles and carrying a new banner: Swank. It’s slow, mean, heavy and pissed off.
Stuck Mojo – Snappin’ Necks – Review March 1, 1995 The guitars chug simply at times, backing up rapidfire machine gun rap, then they lunge into a slow, grinding slam to support the huge monster roar.
Soulcrusher – Review March 1, 1995 The return of powermetal I can almost stomach, but the return of castrated men languishing in falsetto sends shivers of revulsion up my spine.
Solitude Aeturnus – Through The Darkest Hour – Review March 1, 1995 The guitars create that ethereal, doomed-existence-post-apocalyptic sound we felt during the world of the Reagan administration.
