Wicked Maraya – Cycles – Review

August 1, 1994

Kinda like Helloween, kinda like Fates Warning. Maybe Helmet? Their seamlessly heavy sound and vocalist Lou Falco’s gravelly wail defy analysis.

Enchantment – Dance the Marble Naked – Review

August 1, 1994

Dance the Marble Naked is filled with all the Gothic sadness, romance, bitterness and triumph alluded to by the cover photo of Stonehenge.

Wargasm – Ugly – Review

June 1, 1994

Ugly contains all the thrash trio’s classics from their EPs as well as newer stuff. Their mid-’80s thrash and burn is refreshing without being nostalgic.

El Dopa – Review

June 1, 1994

The funky, hip-hop thing el Dopa does serves them well; when they push toward a complicated, multi-layered style, they occupy both your mind and your feet.

Thought Junkie – Review

June 1, 1994

Catchy, plodding, heavy metal-gone grunge with slick layers of harmony tracks, chugging guitars, and Twisted Rootsy howling vocals.

Greta – with Motörhead at Lupo’s – Review

June 1, 1994

Greta churns out punk/hardcore edged sonics with plenty of melody worthy of the Beatles.

Fear of God – Toxic Voodoo – Review

June 1, 1994

What is now Fear of God was once Detente, a band Dawn Crosby put together in the ’80s that was heralded among the L.A. thrash at its finest.

Dumpster Juice – Get That Out of Your Mouth – Review

June 1, 1994

Taking a nice little band like Napalm Death and mutate with Scatterbrain (and put Pro Pain’s vocalist up front) and there you have it. Call it weirdcore.

Black Train Jack – You’re Not Alone – Review

June 1, 1994

Positive Energy and good, clean fun is what this band is all about. It’s straight-edge hardcore, but they don’t get all self-righteous and judgmental about it.

Clamhammer – Review

April 1, 1994

Their style of feedback, stagger-tempo, ranting versed noise is definitely their own.
