The Smackdown – Someone Has to Kill the Headwriter – Review

October 6, 2006

Miles from NY hardcore; think of Refused with the Energizer bunny up their rectums and you’d have a clearer idea of what Sweden’s The Smackdown sounds like.

SSM – Review

October 6, 2006

Garage rock to compare to the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs herk’n’jerk, or The Epoxies zany new wave via weirdo punk. Fuzzed-out keyboard smog populates mid-tempo grooves.

Shai Hulud – A Profound Hatred of Man: Shrapnel Inc. – Review

October 6, 2006

Includes the debut three-song EP, the split with Indecision (their best songs ever), the split with Another Victim, and more. They were ahead of their time.

Shai Hulud – Hearts Once Nourished With Hope and Compassion – Review

October 6, 2006

This not only introduced a multi-faceted, technically melodic metalcore band to the world, it predates The Dillinger Escape Plan and countless rip-offs.

Deicide – The Stench of Redemption – Review

October 6, 2006

Deicide’s best album since Serpents of the Light. Hell, maybe it’s even better. An absolutely essential album after so many years of plopping out mediocrity.

Communic – Waves of Visual Decay – Review

October 6, 2006

Complicated rhythms, machine gun guitars, double-bass drums, and the operatic vocals of also guitarist Oddleif Stenslaf who aspires to Nevermore’s Warrel Dane.

Cardinale – 31:13 – Review

October 6, 2006

“Heavy” as in the emotional, if not bludgeoning sense. Maybe less drone and drift, linking it to a couple older era’s “progressive” rock works.

Agalloch – Ashes Against the Grain – Review

October 6, 2006

Sprawling and expansive, yet it retains certain classic elements. Doom, enhanced by cavernous vocals, creates a sort of controlled black metal symphony.

All Shall Perish – The Price of Existence – Review

September 29, 2006

Their blend of technical death, metalcore breakdowns, and grind speed is refreshing in a time when many bands seem content churning out the same old shit.

Pompeii – Assembly – Review

September 29, 2006

Dean Stafford has a high tenor voice that drips with emotion. The haunting sound of Caitlin Bailey’s cello also adds a lot of atmosphere and texture.
