Electric Frankenstein – The Time is Now! – Review

June 1, 2001

If you aren’t cognizant of the growly/musclely buzzbombs these guys have been heavin’ since the mid-’90s, here’s the opportunity to blow this week’s beer money.

Electric Frankenstein – Sick Songs – Review

June 1, 2001

Three reissues and a new one from these prolific punkrock to rockpunk rabble-rousers.

Electric Frankenstein – Conquers the World – Review

June 1, 2001

Really, these guys do what they do – jump in anywhere. Even the covers, and they do at least one per, are put through the mill and Frankensteized.

Electric Frankenstein – Annie’s Grave – Revidew

June 1, 2001

Another pie, another slice. The borrowed tune on this one’s a good one from the second Dead Boys album, “3rd Generation Nation,” done up with the zim and zigor.

Church of Misery – Master of Brutality – Review

June 1, 2001

These guys really have a thing going for round-eye serial killers and very heavy doom metal topped with a course, gritty this-side-of-grind vocalist.

Boris – AbsolutEgo – Review

June 1, 2001

AbsolutEgo is very, very thick, often sounding like a loop of a from a five-story cement factory cracking from its moorings and falling over.

Blind Dog – The Last Adventures of Captain Dog – Review

June 1, 2001

Hard and heavy first offering from a combo who sits between the orthodox post-Kyuss reality of groove-riding molten metal and regenerated kickass rock.

The Living End – Roll On – Interview

June 1, 2001

An interview with bassist Scott Owen

The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight – Review

April 1, 2001

No singin,’ plenty of organ, high-energy, blues rock-based playing, revving up and spacing out like live Steppenwolf. Members of Eyehategod, Crowbar, and Down.

The Mushroom River Band – Music for the World Beyond – Review

April 1, 2001

The tunes are OK, the playing flawless, and the recording shakes a leg. Another band who could open for Monster Magnet and win over a bunch of their fans.
