Slave to the Power: The Iron Maiden Tribute – Review

April 1, 2000

For those who want to scope the entire range of what a tribute album can be, look no further than this mammoth two-CD, 26-track dust-up to the power of Maiden.

Triumphator – Wings of Antichrist – Review

April 1, 2000

A carnal retro-black metal conflagration, driven by Marduk drummer Fredrik, Funeral Mist guitarist and vocalist Arioch, and produced by Peter Tägtgren.

Therion – Deggial – Review

EyeHateGod – Southern Discomfort – Review

As Eyehategod contemplated break-up, aborted releases, and success at side-projects, a scattering of 7″ releases made the rounds. Here they are gathered.

Kamelot – The Fourth Legacy – Review

April 1, 2000

Florida’s Kamelot are flying on the wings of exalted, speedy progressive metal that has them creatively leading a new American pack.

Danzig – Satan’s Child – Review

January 1, 2000

A return, full of evil doomy guitar chords, multiple eccentric Danzig vocals, and lots of metal. Far and clear best track is the record’s closer, “13.”

Coal Chamber – Chamber Music – Review

January 1, 2000

A repetitious, sleepy, confused, weakly-produced record that’s too electronica and hip-hop. Plus the grooves are gone, and there are fewer hooks. Disappointing.

Witchery – Dead, Hot and Ready – Review

January 1, 2000

Witchery is crazy, shot-glass thrash that only allows its professed love of mainstream stuff (Ozzy, Accept, Priest) to leach out under the utmost discipline.

White Skull – Tales From the North – Review

January 1, 2000

Here’s a lame attempt at replicating the success of Hammerfall, White Skull (whah?) coming up short with their own laughing-out-loud Sacred Steel record.

Warrant – Greatest & Latest – Review

January 1, 2000

Jani and Co. thickening and Whitesnaking their sound to match their new dope look. You can still filter the fact that this is empty party metal though.
