The Haunted – The Dead Eye – Review

January 5, 2007

A dark, ominous venture into depression, hatred, redemption, and everything else that Dolving has long turned into a gloriously misanthropic art form.

Into Eternity – The Scattering of Ashes – Review

November 20, 2006

This band can grind like the Masscore bands, pinch their balls and squeal like the heavy metal skippies, and prog it out like, uh, whoever still plays “prog.”

Terrorizer – Darker Days Ahead – Review

November 10, 2006

Not what should’ve been Terrorizer/ex-Napalm Death guitarist Jesse Pintado’s last work. A pillar of excellent throughout his career, he deserved a better end.

Diecast – Internal Revolution – Review

November 1, 2006

From a more metalcore meal on the now-defunct Now or Never label, they’re now top-notch aggression with breakdowns and clean singing. REAL singing.

Brand New Sin – Tequila – Review

September 1, 2006

Perfect album name for these Southern-fried hardcore shot-pounders. A good time, blackout darkness lurking beneath the party, some butt-wiggle, some stumble.

Witchery – Don’t Fear The Reaper – Review

January 1, 2006

A fraction of the metal thrashing mad fun, and the humor is all but gone. Some evil thirds singing sweet Slayer, but the majority here seems played out.

Agents of Man – Count Your Blessings – Review

May 24, 2005

Stuttering hardcore with some clean singing, sweet interludes, and song 10 is a full-on ballad, just like crappy punkpop bands wanting to emote.

Insult II Injury – Point of This – Review

February 1, 1995

Once you get past thin production, you’ve got a potentially bruising band.
