Supafuzz – Review

January 1, 1999

Crazy crazy energy here, sorta like lost saviors Collision slapped modern by Clutch. Find this record.

Dirty Deeds – Danger Of Infection – Review

January 1, 1999

If you like your punters long in the tooth, then Dirty Deeds are yer codgers. Born from the ashes of the lingering mid-’80s act Chariot.

Riot – Shine On – Review

January 1, 1999

Although Reale and DiMeo are an admirable team, this competent self-important churn does little for me.

Poundhound – Massive Grooves – Review

January 1, 1999

Doug’s Poundhound project is (thankfully) very much like a King’s X record. Only Doug has, quite predictably, blasted it with heavier, bass-throbbing tones.

Judas Priest – Meltdown – Review

January 1, 1999

A jaw-dropped love-in with the new guy, Meltdown is a Ripper-fest of inspiring metal proportions. 23 tracks sampling one of the world’s best catalogues.

Jag Panzer – The Age Of Mastery – Review

January 1, 1999

Jag Panzer leapt quickly to the fore with their debut masterpiece back in ’83. But then total drift, bootlegging, comeback records, and now The Age Of Mastery.

In Ruins – Four Seasons Of Grey – Review

January 1, 1999

Pretty creepy hearing a Philadelphia power trio carving an authentic and pioneering niche within black metal.

Helloween – Better Than Raw – Review

January 1, 1999

Within the grooves, the cohesion is apparent, Helloween blasts through their instantly recognizable sped-up Maiden-isms, and precision white-knuckle melodicism.

King’s X – Tape Head – Interview

January 1, 1999

An interview with Doug Pinnick

Paul Gilbert – King of Clubs – Review

November 1, 1998

Buzzes comfortably on a shelf populated by Cheap Trick, Enuff Z’nuff, Elvis Costello, and Joe Jackson records, with punctuations of light-speed Zappa zaps.
