Circus Of Pain – The Swamp Meat Intoxicatio – Review

February 1, 1997

The Swamp Terrorists team up with Meathead for half an hour-plus of throbbing new songs.

Trust Obey – Hands of Ash – Review

December 1, 1996

The music reminds me of RevCo without the sense of humor or Iron Butterfly’s “In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida,” only more annoying.

Atonement – Final Cut – Review

December 1, 1996

“Electro-industro-funk” is how they describe themselves. Great groove, wonderful effects, nice production.

Vampire Rodents – Gravity’s Rim – Review

Death Ride 69 – Screaming Down The Gravity Well – Review

September 1, 1996

It’s not often you see a female-fronted electro-industrial band as vicious as this one. It’s Beat Mistress from Thrill Kill Kult, and she’s one cool bitch.

C17H19N03 – Terra Damnata – Review

June 1, 1996

Dessau – Details Sketchy – Review

April 1, 1996

The days of raging against the pretty hate machine are obviously over – the works are now well-lubed and run on autopilot.
