Embraze – Katharsis – Review

May 26, 2005

Singer’s got a big dorky-sounding Gothic voice for the plodding songs, and the thrashers sounds like 100 other bands. Not much to work with here.

Hatesphere – The Killing EP – Review

May 26, 2005

Four-songs, including “Trip at the Brain” by Suicidal/Infectious Groove. Dense and filled with riffs galore and drumming, up, down, and all over the place.

Blue Monday – Rewritten – Review

May 26, 2005

From Vancouver, BC, mixing early ’80s hardcore with mid-’90s youth crew group shouts of unity. Straight-forward and stripped down hardcore.

Bane – The Note – Review

May 26, 2005

I’ve never cared much for most of Bane’s songs, but they sometimes surprise me. Like the end of “Swan Song,” the part with the group shouts and a vocal cameo.
