Stuck Mojo – Declaration of a Headhunter – Interview

June 1, 2000

An interview with guitarist Rich Ward

Sentenced – Crimson – Review

April 1, 2000

Sentenced have found mournful ways to reconstitute sensibly-arranged power chord rock, even if they seem to make the same record over again.

Bloodbath – Breeding Death – Review

April 1, 2000

Three tracks at just over 13 minutes is enough to prove that these Swedes are better at doing Floridian-style death metal than 90% of the bands there.

Winters Bane – Heart of a Killer – Review

April 1, 2000

1993’s Heart Of The Killer finds Ripper in full Halford mode, soaring over compositions that are riff-crazy, like heavy Savatage with an exploration metal vibe.

Tiamat’s grown from a growl’n’roar death metal band into a mature, yet chillingly malevolent band that skates Goth metal, doom metal, and ambient artsiness.

Holy Dio: A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio – Review

April 1, 2000

Krisiun – Conquerors of Armageddon – Review

April 1, 2000

Krisiun are in good stead with friends like Hate Eternal main man Eric Rutan who produced this violent tour de force of uncompromising Satanic death metal.

Arch Enemy – Burning Bridges – Review

January 1, 2000

This batch of songs is simply irresistible. Catchy like the classic power metal bands that you love, anthemic in its energy… just fucking great song writing.

Nocturnal Rites – The Sacred Talisman – Review

January 1, 2000

Poppy, melodic, uplifting metal with pristine rhythms and major-key solos spiraling and performing death-defying mid-air stunts always puts a smile on my face.
