Life After Death – Review

May 1, 1996

Hard rock with muscle, melody, harmony, and attitude. The former drummer of Armored Saint teams up with members of Warrior. Why do we need more of this stuff?

Live at the Bottom of the Hill – Review

April 1, 1996

A live show at The Bottom of the Hill club in San Francisco featuring The Nukes, Jack Killed Jill, Social Unrest, and Swinging Utters was recorded.

United – No IQ – Review

April 1, 1996

While No IQ is about as dated as an aging nympho, United has kept current with metal. They cleverly incorporate said sounds into a speedcore cock rock format.

Suffer – Tails You Lose – Review

April 1, 1996

Rob Nicholson and Todd Allen regroup after quitting Drown to form a trudging guitar stompfest called Suffer. Sounds kinda like Clutch.

Divine Sin – Winterland – Review

April 1, 1996

The depths of the Swedish woods produce a thrashy powermetal band with both Nordic tribal influences and deathy growls.

Abigor – Verwustung/Invoke The Dark Age – Review

April 1, 1996

While using some of the great elements of Black Metal, the thin production, weak transitions, and uninnovative musicianship make this little more than filler.

Stuck Mojo – at the Rat – Review

March 1, 1996

They mix the rapcore thing together with beefy vocals and a pleasant death roar: Quite a tasty mix to these ears.

Drain – This Is Reality – Review

March 1, 1996

It’s hardcore, about as energetic, heavy, and group-shout orientated as any other, but it’s impossible to tell what the band represents.

Belmez – Siechtum – Review

March 1, 1996

The singer could be singing “I Want To Hold Your Hand” and it would still sound like he was chewing on a live rattlesnake, spitting bile at you.

MoonRage – Serengeti – Review

February 1, 1996

While singer Tye Battisistella has a warm, spiritual voice, the music is completely ignorable. This is uninspired metal that makes Danzig sound innovative.
