Anathema – Hindsight – Review

January 1, 2008

Acoustic takes on old and new faves from this influencial UK atmospheric, melodic metal band, plus a newbie, “Unchained (Tales of the Unexpected).”

Spyder Baby – Let Us Prey – Review

January 1, 2008

You’d call this razor-sharp punky industrial metal if you hadn’t been listening to Ministry since ’90, cuz then you’d just call it a good genre cover band.

Meshuggah – Obzen – Review

January 1, 2008

Great musicians with riffs like Pantera gone haywire, but they’re often so prog, you can’t headbang without second-guessing their next slippery transition.

Atrocity – Werk 80 II – Review

January 1, 2008

Don’t know how often I’d whip this out, but lots of these songs were sappy and dumb to start, so a mediocre Goth metal version of them is no better or worse.
