Project Pitchfork – Alpha Omega – Review

September 1, 1998

The music is distinctive and the singer doesn’t hide his vocal prowess, which adds a layer of melody that is usually lacking in industrial bands.

Mentallo and the Fixer – No Rest For the Wicked – Review

September 1, 1998

This early work was previously only available in crummy bootleg form. MATF sweetens the deal, added more songs and making it a double CD.

Killing Floor – Divide By Zero – Review

September 1, 1998

A genuine industrial band with the politics of a hardcore group. The music is awesome.

Hexedene – Choking On Lilies – Review

September 1, 1998

Taking an early ’90s techno sound and wrapping it up in industrial, pop/Goth shouldn’t work – but Hexedrene have this damn good album to prove that it can.

Glampire – The Beginning Of Terror – Review

September 1, 1998

“Suck” does not even begin to describe what this CD does.

Evil’s Toy – Illusion – Review

September 1, 1998

Evil’s Toy had this urge to be catchy and aggressive while retaining the moody, Gothic electro sound they’ve perfected over the last few albums.

Die Form – Duality – Review

September 1, 1998

Take Death In June and extract all the Nazi crap, add genuine romance to the songs, along with a female singer who can carry that mood, and you get Duality.

Decoded Feedback – Technophoby – Review

September 1, 1998

Cold, precise electro combined with great songwriting. This album is devoid of filler, and even better, has very few intros over a minute.

The Electric Hellfire Club – Unholy Roller – Review

September 1, 1998

This is mostly remixes, so I can dismiss the mediocre material as b-sides that should’ve never seen the light of day. Oh yeah, they cover “Shout at the Devil.”

Tattoo of Pain – Vengeance Is Mine – Review

September 1, 1998

Industrial that borrows from old NYC hardcore bands rather than bad metal, they prefer to leave the ambiguities alone and concentrate on writing songs.
