Delta 9 – Disco Inferno – Review

June 1, 1997

Loud, distorted beats, high-to-superhigh BPMs, and a mix between distorted shouts, quotes from action/adventure movies, and sounds of destruction and violence.

Dub War – Pain – Review

May 1, 1997

Dub War knows how to write catchy choruses for songs that are otherwise arty to the point of huh? That’s a compliment of the highest order.

Anal Cunt – I Like It When You Die – Review

April 1, 1997

In this 52 song, 42 minute sprawl of over-distorted, mic-swallowing mass of incomprehensibility, some parts actually sound like songs. Have A.C. sold out?

Signs Ov Chaos – Frankenscience – Review

December 1, 1996

November 1, 1996

Well, Johnny Violent is back at it again, programming 200+ BPM songs about sex, violence, and… well, sex and violence mainly.

Pitchshifter – Infotainment – Review

August 1, 1996

Part electronically enhanced dance music, part brutal thrashcore, it’s music to engulf the flaccid squids of the world.

Carcass – Swansong – Review

August 1, 1996

Heartwork makes Swansong look like a limp dick. Carcass chose not to further their technical abilities, but to rehash every Maiden and Priest riff available.
