Scarlet – Cult Classic – Review

November 15, 2004

Debut full-length for Ferret. Championed by many since their formation, Scarlet have grown in leaps and bounds.

Psyopus – Ideas of Reference – Review

October 15, 2004

Psyopus’ debut is a hyperactive blur of aggression, technicality, and insanity thrown to the wind without a care in the world, doing as much damage as possible.

All That Remains – This Darkened Heart – Review

October 4, 2004

Ex-Shadows Fall singer Philip Labonte started All That Remains. Much richer and focused than the previous release, with ace production by Adam Dutkiewicz.

September 13, 2004

From the ashes of the mighty Disembodied comes Devilinside, a metalcore act with attitude and aggression.

August 16, 2004

Great album title. Florida’s Remembering Never hit us up big-time with a rollercoaster ride of emotions, brutal breakdowns, and heavy-set vocals.

Premonitions of War – Left in Kowloon – Review

July 12, 2004

Punishing, grinding hardcore done with such ferocious, and head-down momentum that sitting through a listen or two can weigh heavily on your nerves.

Hatebreed – The Rise of Brutality – Review

June 28, 2004

While Jamey Jasta and the boys still lead the charge with fists out and heads down, it isn’t hard to notice the music has become a bit safer and toned down.
