Hellbent – Helium – Review

June 1, 1999

As you light up another smoke, you hear NIN very faintly in the background and realize just how much it fuckin’ annoys you. This is the sound of Hellbent.

Pigface – Eat Shit You Fucking Redneck – Review

June 1, 1999

A stunning collection of songs culled from their acoustic-folk jamboree tour of the U.S. last year. An awesome live disk worth every penny.

Witchman vs Jammin Unit – Inferno – Review

June 1, 1999

The industrial dub that these guys make is a welcome change from the glut of electro discs. It’s also very true that the Invisible sound is in full-effect.

Nod’s Tacklebox O’ Fun – Review

June 1, 1999

If nothing else, ya gotta love Re-Constriction’s style. Though none of the bands here truly do justice to the songs they cover, it’s not for lack of effort.

Goth Oddity – A Tribute to David Bowie – Review

June 1, 1999

A lot of good bands are on here, covering one of their favorite artists. You wouldn’t know they loved Bowie from this, though. These covers absolutely blow.

Swingin’ Utters – The Sounds Wrong EP – Review

April 1, 1999

Originally released on IFA in 1995. Where Streets… was their ball of fury, these songs were some of their more soulful tunes, like their other early EPs.

Electropolis – Review

April 1, 1999

Sure, I expected Wumpscut, Mentallo and the Fixer, Evil’s Toy, and Haujobb to kick out the jams, but I had no idea every track was going to be great.

Cyberpunk Fiction – Review

April 1, 1999

Get a whole bunch of industrial bands to cover the entire Pulp Fiction soundtrack with the appropriate dialogue bits translated into computer speak. Cool.

Gearwhore – Drive – Review

January 1, 1999

It’s harsh enough for industrial fans and dance-oriented enough for club kids and has every right to sound like Chicago industrial.

The Kidney Thieves – Review

January 1, 1999

The Kidney Thieves are following their influences into hilarious and self-parody like Whitesnake opening for the Crüe on the 1987 Girls, Girls, Girls tour.
