Doro – Calling the Wild – Review

September 1, 2000

Bruising metal compositions that sound like modern Kiss, old Keel, new Alice Cooper and bits of Mötley Crüe and Lita Ford. Strange, but all in all, I like it.

Destruction – All Hell Breaks Loose – Review

September 1, 2000

More chaotic and dangerous than most of the German thrashers and their o’er-the-pond Bay Area compatriots, Destruction are on the comeback trail.

Savatage – Ghost in the Ruins – Review

September 1, 2000

Motörhead – We are Motörhead – Review

September 1, 2000

Mötley Crüe – New Tattoo – Review

September 1, 2000

Slightly beneath the inspirational-vaulted euphoria of the two new tracks on Greatest Hits, but a confident barrage of razor-sharp, high energy details.

Vintersorg – Odemarkens Son – Review

September 1, 2000

Vintersorg are stormy, snowy Viking metal designed for those who cock their ear to the brief clean vocal bits found within Dimmu Borgir and Borknagar.

September 1, 2000

Metal Church’s Kurdt Vanderhoof has quietly and sometimes not-so-quietly been building a legend as one of metal’s great bricklayers.

Spiritual Beggars – Ad Astra – Review

June 1, 2000

Michael Amott has always been a guy that takes quality seriously. Four records in, the bones of a stoner rock novelty have grown hard and sturdy.

Snakebites – A Tribute To Whitesnake – Review

June 1, 2000

No techno remixes, no third-rate death metal, but no real pep either, Snakebites gathering guys with thick metal resumes to romp through Coverdale’s classics.
