The Distance – With Honor – Split – Review

March 16, 2005

Gorgeous packaging. With Honor and The Distance are both completely passable hardcore.

Pale Divine – Eternity Revealed – Review

March 16, 2005

Decent stoner rock. Good riffs, kinda don’t remember much after the song is done, but I’m spoiled. Good opening band for killer bands, perhaps.

With Honor – The Distance – Split – Review

March 16, 2005

With Honor and The Distance are both completely passable hardcore, with previous releases on Bridge Nine and Stillborn, who steadily release passable hardcore.

Penance – Spiritual Natural – Review

June 28, 2004

A clean, clear vocal attack ala Sabbath, Iron Man, Pentagram, The Obsessed, Trouble, and the heavy rock attack those folks created.

Murder Weapon – Nervous Wreck – Review

November 12, 2003

Virginia hardcore act Murder Weapon let loose an array of ’80s NYHC numbers that’ll surely rally the moshpit elite.

Circle of Dead Children – Human Harvest – Review

October 1, 2003

More putrid, merciless grind/sludge from one of the underground’s most articulate, humble, clear-headed, well-reasoned, and resolute bands.

Penance – Alpha and Omega – Review

June 28, 2002

All told, reassuring and wise doom metal that sounds like it’s created by 55-year-old contemporaries of the masters.

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?

Drained – Suspension of Disbelief – Review

June 1, 1999

Maybe it’s that Drained do such a good job at sounding so typically hardcore that even a heavy music fan like me can’t tell the difference.
