Hypocrisy – Virus – Review

November 11, 2005

Peter’s back churning his mechanized doom at a verbosity of velocities, but the main different in the terrible tale is that Immortal’s Horgh is on as drummer.

Ulver – Blood Inside – Review

November 4, 2005

Orchestral ambience, trip hop-imbued electronica, metallic guitars, big band jazz exuberance, prog rock sensibility, and purely experimental awe.

Negator – Old Black – Review

October 28, 2005

Grinding blast beats, melodic guitar riffs, screeching vocals, and tons of Gothic flare. The title says it all: Tried and true, no bullshit added black metal.

Hiretsukan – End States – Review

October 28, 2005

Organic, street-level hardcore played with finesse, not to mention an ear for detailed chord structures. Abrasive? Sure. But so are Coalesce and Fugazi.

Paragon – Revenge – Review

October 28, 2005

Bad take-off on the classic Judas Priest/Iron Maiden sound, which I was never that fond of. Souring vocals, boring, one-note bass galloping, and shitty songs.
