Unleashed – Hell’s Unleashed – Review

November 22, 2002

I practically learned how to grind from these guys. But by album number three, they’d become as dangerous as Vikings with swords attacking a nuclear submarine.

Sentenced – The Cold White Light – Review

November 22, 2002

If you are all inclined toward the band’s dreamy Finnish sentiments, there are choruses on here for miles.

Entwine – Time of Despair – Review

November 22, 2002

An interview with drummer Aksu Hanttu

Arch Enemy – Wages of Sin – Review

October 4, 2002

Arch Enemy are back with a long-overdue full-length and a ridiculously crisp, articulate, hungry new vocalist who just happens to be a fox.

Dimension Zero – Silent Night Fever – Review

October 4, 2002

Gritty, violent, power-packed, fast In Flames with Swedish death vocals provided by Jocke Göthberg, ex of Marduk.

Nonexist – Deus Deceptor – Review

September 20, 2002

Quiet parts, little bits of melody, and lots of groove-oriented breakdowns. It’s indistinguishable, but vocalist John Liiva (ex-Arch Enemy) makes it enjoyable.

Tiamat – Judas Christ – Review

September 9, 2002

These Gothic rockers have evolved from plodding black metal (Celtic Frost, not Emperor) to Goth metal with Pink Floyd tendencies to full-on Goth cock rock.

Flowing Tears – Serpentine – Review

August 16, 2002

Following The Gathering and Lacuna Coil, To/Die/For and Entwine, and other Gothic metal bands, Flowing Tears swirl and twirl on the smoke-filled dancefloor.

Visual Chaos – The Video Collection – Review

August 2, 2002

16 videos for $10. There’s a little blurb about each band in case yer unfamiliar, but most of these bands are pretty well-known in the underground.

Warmen – Beyond Abilities – Review

July 5, 2002

second solo outing of Children of Bodom keyboardist Janne Warman’s side-project. Classical-addicted heavy metal, revved and ready for a new generation.
