Mistress – In Digust We Trust – Review

May 26, 2005

“We like early Napalm Death, but have better production.”

Shortie – Without a Promise – Review

April 13, 2005

Sacramento fashion metal, with heartfelt vocals and groove guitar, eyeliner, and dyed black hair. Earache doesn’t promote, so you’ll never have to hear this.

Society 1 – The Sound That Ends Creation – Review

March 16, 2005

Society 1 is terrible, shallow, and not shocking. They wouldn’t even make a good W.A.S.P. tribute band.

Cathedral – The Serpent’s Gold – Review

December 29, 2004

Cracks a beer and hands it to you, saying Lee Dorrian is back. Seriously, nobody played and recorded and stomped their way through doom quite like Cathedral.

Carcass – Choice Cuts – Review

August 30, 2004

From grind/gorecore forefathers to melodic death’s finest, they never repeated themselves, nor put out a bad record. A 21-song best-of from one of metal’s best.

Deicide – Scars of the Crucifix – Review

June 14, 2004

Touted as a “return to form,” and rightly so. Nine tracks in under half an hour, unrelentingly pillaging and raping like Satanic vikings.

Decapitated – The Negation – Review

June 7, 2004

Their first two were filled to the brim with sonically-perfect, brutally-satisfying slabs of deathblasts. Believe it: The Negation is the best one yet.

Napalm Death – Noise For Music’s Sake – Review

February 16, 2004

Compiles the influential grindcore forefathers’ best moments and – most importantly – all the saliva-inducing rarities that I’ve been digging for years.

Morbid Angel – Heretic – Interview

February 2, 2004

An interview with bassist/vocalist Steve Tucker

Ephel Duath – The Painter’s Palette – Review

October 29, 2003

Ephel Duath have delivered us into the blossom of a terrifyingly new experience, one that lays ruin to all preconceived notions of metal.
