She Killed Poetry – Shut Out The Silence – Review

September 1, 2006

Good name, decent band. Pretty straight-forward Lamb of God death metal, minus the killer guitarwork that makes LoG special. So pretty standard riffy metal.

Cataract – Kingdom – Review

September 1, 2006

Of superb quality, using modern toolings, only a smidge of modern styles, anchoring their imposing sound in a complex miasma of death metal movements.

Passion – The Fierce Urgency of Now – Review

September 1, 2006

The Darkest Hour riffs are a little simple, but the drummer is a freakin’ beast, tackling death, blast, thrash gallop, and all else under the blackened sun.

One Dead Three Wounded – Moving Units – Review

September 1, 2006

No clean vocals, no Swedish copycat leads, no keyboards, and almost a New Orleans drawl to the geetaring at times, which is odd for a band for Philly.

A Love End – Suicide In The Disaster – Review

September 1, 2006

More a Ferret band than a Metal Blade band: A one-note singer, dense production, little change in pace or tone, a solid listen, no real gems, no boring tracks.

Burning Skies – Desolation – Review

September 1, 2006

British death metal that could easily open for America’s Lamb of God or Germany’s Heaven Shall Burn. Just a ferocious slam of non-moronic metal.

Grave – As Rapture Comes – Review

September 1, 2006

The quartet ups the anger ante, adding a handful of honest to god blastbeats to the repertoire in an effort to liven things up. For the most part, it works.

A Static Lullaby – Review

September 1, 2006

Since 2001, A Static Lullaby has been screaming, emoting, harmonizing, noodling, and pounding.

War From A Harlot’s Mouth – Molotov Solution – Review

September 1, 2006

This stuff cracks me up. I think it’s supposed to. Goregrind monster-swallowing-the-mic death with buckshot blast drumming and off-kilter staggering guitar.

This stuff cracks me up. I think it’s supposed to. Goregrind monster-swallowing-the-mic death with buckshot blast drumming and off-kilter staggering guitar.
