Greenwood – Horus On The Horizon – Review

May 31, 2002

Greenwood are to Kyuss what Grand Funk were to Zeppelin. A straight rock attack that’s as much a clean, heavied-out “grunge” thing as a “stoner” one.

Adam West – Right On! – Review

May 31, 2002

The riffs are pig-iron simple, the singer brash and manly, and the tempo is set on quick and sweaty. Has real tunes and personality.

Place of Skulls – Nailed – Review

May 31, 2002

Formed and lead by Victor Griffin, he who swung the six-string for Pentagram and has added singing to his resume.

Sunn O))) – Flight of the Behemoth – Review

May 17, 2002

The disc is divided into “songs,” but its flow is similar to Sleep’s Jeruselum: One big chunk of stuff with different moods affecting the flow.

Rye Coalition – On Top – Review

May 17, 2002

The boy’s of Rye Coalition have jerked their post-punk youth back down through classic kick-ass bombast and are better for it.

Cable – Skyhorse Jams – Review

March 29, 2002

Basic biker-slanted doom rock with vocals roughed up enough so no one will mistake it for a Sabbath demo. On the Spirit Caravan side, but more rudimentary.

Jucifer – I Name You Destroyer – Review

March 29, 2002

Jucifer’s singer uses more personalities (not range) in her vocalizing; dreamy, heroin-soaked, noir foreboding, deathy growls/screeches, plain spoken “singing.”

Fu Manchu – California Crossing – Interview

March 29, 2002

An interview with singer Scott Hill

Thulsa Doom – The Seats are Soft but the Helmet is Way Too Tight – Review

March 22, 2002

A natural, plug-in-the-amp-and-go! recording replicates the live thing. Pretty close to The Mushroom River Band, Hangnail, Spiritual Beggars, or Sally.

Solarized – Driven – Review

March 22, 2002

A bit less wah-ridden, with more power chord mid-range punch than their previous slice, Neanderthal Speedway. “More nuts in the fudge,” as my mom used to say.
