TYR – Ragnarok – Review

November 20, 2006

The one and only Faroese folk metal band. Some English singing, some in their native tongue, summoning ghosts of ancestors, epic battles, love of land and lore.

To-Mera – Transcendental – Review

November 20, 2006

Female-fronted dark/prog metal. Angelic vocals, tight starts’n’stops, a bit too choppy and “we’re good, huh?” for me.

Thy Disease – Rat Age – Review

November 20, 2006

From Poland, four records deep, got some keyboards mixed into the death metal.

Thumbscrew – Within Hearts of Redemption – Review

November 20, 2006

Brutal spazzcore from Austin, Texas. For fans of Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, and bands on Blackmarket Activities. This stuff annoys the hell outta me.

Speed/Kill/Hate – Acts of Insanity – Review

November 20, 2006

Say it with me: “Speed/Kill/Hate’s Acts of Insanity.” We done? East Coast thrash featuring members of Overkill (not members I recognize). Or so the sticker sez.

Stolen Babies – There Be Squabbles Ahead – Review

November 20, 2006

Cabaret clusterfuck. Math rock thrash pop duckwalk. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum on a crack binge. This is overly creative people with time on their hands. Thanks.

Stand Before The Firing Squad – Noise Machine – Review

November 20, 2006

Spazzcore.

Shook Ones – Facetious Folly Feat – Review

November 20, 2006

The site references Lifetime and Kid Dynamite, and while I was gonna say Strike Anywhere with a sore throat, those bands are close enough.

Represent – True At All Costs – Review

November 20, 2006

If you love your hardcore served straight forward and straight-edge and don’t already own CDs by Buried Alive, Ringworm, and Earth Crisis, this’ll fill the gap.

Raze To Ashes – Review

November 20, 2006

Singer’s got a good start, monster production’ll help, but he sounds more Molly Hatchet than Metallica, and the lyrics are just horrid.
