A Life Once Lost – Hunter – Review

February 3, 2006

Philly’s A Life Once Lost throw guitar squawks into the dense mix, a few Euro licks, and a few Meshuggah stutters to break up the monotony of the howl.

Summon – Fallen – Review

January 27, 2006

Summon was hot shit in the day, but they’ve been lapped. If heads-down, no-frills, brutal death metal is your thing, Fallen may be right up your alley.

Static-X – Start a War – Review

January 27, 2006

Great for people who don’t know any better, or don’t ask for much from their music. Every lyric, every riff, ever beat here has been done before, and better.

Anthrax – Alive 2 (2005) – Review

January 20, 2006

Captures the electricity around the “classic Anthrax line-up” reunion shows. Interviews & backstage footage. A souvenir to hang onto: All killer, no filler.

Eminence – Humanology – Review

January 20, 2006

Second full-length by this Brazil band boasting ex-members of Sepultura and Overdose. Various “Walk”-style riffs, vaguely tribal grooves, and dumbass lyrics.

January 20, 2006
