Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes – Live at the Greek: Excess All Areas – Review

June 1, 2000

This album is such a great idea. Jimmy Page joins the Black Crowes for two CDs full of Led Zeppelin songs and some old blues and ’60s rock classics.

Herbert – Steppin’ Off to Eden – Review

June 1, 2000

Herbert has a heavy sound, though they’re light on the killer riffs. The Ozzy-influenced vocalist doesn’t really establish much of a presence.

Solace – Further – Interview

June 1, 2000

An interview with guitarist Tommy Southard

Hookers II – Black Visions of Crimson Wisdom – Review

April 1, 2000

Despite “Putting the evil back in the Devil!” and cool song titles (“Ball Crusher Love Machine”), this album lacks that one song that you remember.

High On Fire – The Art of Self Defense – Review

April 1, 2000

The latest project from Matt Pike, formerly of Sleep. If you’ve heard any of the Sleep records, the sound of High on Fire won’t surprise you much.

Electric Wizard – Supercoven – Review

April 1, 2000

With two bonus tracks, the running total is now four songs, 50 minutes. If ever there was a band that deserved the title “doom rock,” Electric Wizard is it.

Dwarves – Come Clean – Review

April 1, 2000

Although there are still fine moments to be had, this sounds like a neutered version of the band I used to love. Or so I thought.

Cathedral – In Memoriam – Review

April 1, 2000

Painfully, excruciatingly slow. How do people play this slow? I’ve heard and liked other Cathedral stuff, but I don’t remember it being quite so, well, slow.

Sally – Review

April 1, 2000

A thick, crunchy, bottom-heavy sound that rocks hard with an emphasis on the groove. Never thought a band with a guitarist named Nigel could beat this much ass!

Rise 13 – Review

April 1, 2000

For those of you who are curious about all of this heavy/desert/stoner rock stuff that you’re hearing so much about these days, this is the perfect CD for you.
