Thyrfing – Vansinnesvisor – Review

May 16, 2003

While not as old world as Vintersorg, there are glorious nostalgic moments of the days of wilderness, tribe, and mystery.

The Kovenant – In Times Before the Light – Review

February 14, 2003

Before they went industrial metal, The Kovenant were an industrially-noisy Norwegian black metal band. This is the band’s reworked and remixed ’95 debut.

Rebaelliun – Annihilation – Review

April 12, 2002

Rebaelliun burn through their songs ridiculously fast but never really play more than a few notes.

Sinister – Creative Killings – Review

March 1, 2002

Here they are again, playing easily dismissable, run-of-the-mill death metal with a new vocalist (a girl). Should you care?

June 4, 2001

You can hear big, burly men beating the snot out of each other, drinking and wenching in a sticky-floored tavern, and mourning the loss of fallen brothers.

The Ravenous – Assembled in Blasphemy – Review

June 4, 2001

This shit’s so dirty, so gutter-born, so stained with vomit, bong water, and gastric juice that you’ll want to take a shower after listening to it.

Hypnosia – Extreme Hatred – Review

June 3, 2001

Tremolo bar diving solos, thunderous drumming and half-steppin’ thrash riffs galore, and snakespit vocals you can’t understand but sound really bad-ass.

Tulus – Evil 1999 – Review

January 1, 2000

Dissecting the elements of Tulus’ excellence is hard. It must be their unique approach and pure passion for black metal that elevates them to a higher plane.

Trelldom – Til Et Annet – Review

January 1, 2000

These Norwegians have a fierce dedication to the black art and uphold all the low-tech qualities established by their forebears.
