April 20, 2007

Heavy rock tuned into the lumbering trudge that flows in Sabbath’s wake and the down-tuned desert vibe Kyuss gifted to the EEC, where it lives and breathes.

Pain of Salvation – Scarsick – Review

April 20, 2007

Start with Clawfinger, then add a little OSI, for Scarsick contains nü metal riffs, rappy vocals, and then lots of trippy contemplating bits textured up nicely.

New Skin – Review

April 20, 2007

So many styles of new wave: Siouxsie & The Banshees, Berlin, and more. Led by gritty guitars, with beats that could be hanging out at any retro club at 2 am.

April 20, 2007

Firmly in the rock tradition of drums, bass, keys, and guitar with an affection for the classic rootage of ’60s Pink Floyd and ’70s Hawkwind.

Middian – Age Eternal – Review

April 20, 2007

Mike Scheidt of YOB. The songs are long and ever-changing, Mike sings through the chorus pedal, and crushing guitar riffs abound at nearly every moment.
