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.

My Sleeping Karma – Review

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.

Earth – Hibernaculum – Review

April 20, 2007

Hibernaculum, which could also be regarded as a companion piece to Hex, reimagines three earlier Earth pieces in the Hex style, and the results are compelling.

Logh – North – Review

April 20, 2007

Epic piano numbers, reflective acoustic ballads, and soaring heartfelt anthems. It’s Logh’s most accessible, melodic, and straightforward release yet.
