Foetus – Null/Void – Review

June 1, 1997

For those of you who know who J.G. Thirlwell is, all I need to say is that Null and Void are being re-released as a two-disc set.

Sid Vicious – Never Mind The Reunion – Review

May 1, 1997

Done Sid’s way. Which is to say it’s incredibly badly recorded, the performances are sloppy as hell, and the audience sounds like a buncha drunken yahoos.

Reflections in the Looking Glass: A Tribute to Siouxsie and the Banshees – Review

February 1, 1997

I’m most taken with Collide’s “Obsession,” Sin’s “Skin,” and Ex-Voto’s “Monitor.” Their use of industrial elements add a whole new level of haunting madness.

Covered In Black: An Industrial Tribute to AC/DC – Review

February 1, 1997

Cleopatra’s latest excursion is Covered In Black. It features industrial bands that have somehow missed AC/DC’s tried and true formula.

December 1, 1996

Chrome combined the motion of the rock backbeat with an otherworldly array of treatments and effects to make a noise that bridged psychedelia and industrial.

The Damned – Not of this Earth – Interview

October 1, 1996

An interview with vocalist Rat Scabies

Space Daze 2000 – Review

September 1, 1996

Cleopatra’s second epic space rock compilation succeeds both as an overview of a rich, esoteric history, and as something fun to listen to.

A Passion of Covers – Review

June 1, 1996

I’m surprised that it’s taken so long for like-minded gloom-mongers to pay homage to the Godfathers of Goth with a tribute album, but it’s here.

Die Krupps – Odyssey of the Mind – Review

June 1, 1996

The album is a heavy, growling, electrified, guitar-crunch fest. And Jurgen Engler’s got a great voice.

Good Courage – Old, Broken and Destroyed – Review

March 1, 1996

Other than the depressed euro-trash vocals, nothing makes this electronic garbage pile any different from the regular dance-floor fodder.
