Darkane – Insanity – Review

June 1, 2001

New vocalist for record two, but same quick-footed Swedish death sound as Darkane drill the listener, propelled by the Calamity Kane drumming of Peter Wildoer.

Candiria – 300 Density – Review

June 1, 2001

The mix of their intellectual arrangements with street-wise attitude eliminates all boundaries, earning them fans ranging from jazz freaks to hardcore thugs.

Rotting Christ – Khronos -Review

April 1, 2001

Originally simple, raw and shitty-sounding like classic ’80s greats, then becoming ever-more complex before falling for that Goth metal thing a few years ago.

EyeHateGod – Confederacy of Ruined Lives – Review

April 1, 2001

It’s still, technically speaking, sludgecore, but Eyehategod are now much closer to a slothful psychedelic stoner rock act than the obnoxious fumes of old.

Cryptopsy – And Then You’ll Beg – Review

April 1, 2001

A very brutal, enjoyable death metal album, one I’ll play again and again, but it’s not the most mind-boggling one you’ll find if you look more closely.

Nocturnal Rites – Afterlife – Review

April 1, 2001

Meaty and aggressive, shredding and laying down scorching solos, they’re the power metal band for those looking for something with a little more balls.

Dark Tranquillity – Haven – Review

September 1, 2000

Haven is a kind of return to roots, being harder, more metal, and sounding rather In Flames in the process. And I mean that in a good way.

Angel Dust – Enlighten the Darkness – Review

September 1, 2000

Germany’s Angel Dust are proving that power metal can indeed include a solid wallop of just that: Power.

Identity – 6 – Behold Another World – Review

June 1, 2000

18 tracks, maxing out at just over 70 minutes of metal, most sub-genres represented. Groove-oriented nü metal allows the indulgence of black/Goth/dark metal.

Shadows Fall – Of One Blood – Review

June 1, 2000

American death metal’s muscles trained by European melodies, played with attitude. Like many other half-assed heavy music singers, he should stick to screaming.
